Principal for a Day Jenna Marino

Submitted by Jenna, Alice, Grace & Zoe

On Tuesday, February 3rd, IB will be 20 years old at RIS. We support RIS by learning new things like we learned about lava. We support people that have different abilities and that are different. We support people if they get hurt. If we see someone left out, we include them. We support teachers and kids that are new to the school.

With Miss Jenna’s group for principal (Jenna, Alice, Grace, and Zoe), we were the first people to try the cargo net and the rope and the second people to try the Rock Wall.

Cargo Net Rules

• Hold on tight.
• Do not let go.
• Be safe when you let go.

Shelly and Jolly are our mascots. Also, they are cool and they are Turtles. They are awesome. We like the colors and patterns. We are grateful for them.

Tips to Practice

• Freeze, Listen, & Follow from Miss Jenna Marino, Principal for a Day!
• Freeze – Stop whatever it is you are doing and don’t move.
• Listen – Pay attention to any instructions given either over the loud speaker or by staff member.
• Follow – Students should follow the nearest adult directions and movement if necessary.
