“When I came into this role, I realized I would come into a role where I knew over 80% of the students that would be there and over 80% of the staff, and that was a big thing for me and it continues to be so delightful for me to go into classrooms, do observations, but also know the kids that are there. Know the staff in front of me and the staff. I don’t know I get to work with. I love doing that. I love working with teachers as they’re developing. I love working with kids to see what they’re learning about next and having conversations like that. So that’s that’s really what keeps me going. – Tania Will, Principal of Spring Creek Elementary at the 10/28/2025 School Board Meeting
