šŸ‘Š A fist bump. A connection. A reminder that someone believes in you.

During National Principalsā€™ Month, weā€™re celebrating James Byrd, principal of Bend Middle School! This moment with a student reflects the belief at the heart of his leadership: when people know you believe in them, they can accomplish great things.

Mr. Byrd is especially grateful for a faculty that cares deeply about studentsā€”the kind of adults he says he needed in his own life at their age.

What IGNITES him? Knowing his actions can open doors of opportunity for others. He encourages staff and students to see whatā€™s possible, believe in growth, and keep working toward successā€”even when it takes time to see the progress.

šŸ’¬ ā€œSuccess is not final; failure is not fatal.ā€

Thank you, Mr. Byrd, for IGNITING confidence, believing in your school community, and helping students discover what they can achieve! šŸ”„

During National Principalsā€™ Month, weā€™re celebrating Jenni Frye, principal of Oxford Elementary School! This throwback to last school yearā€™s 100th day celebration shows Ms. Frye going all inā€”with curlers, a cane, and a big smileā€”to make a learning milestone memorable!

For Ms. Frye, every day brings the privilege of working with what she calls the BEST staff and BEST students.

What IGNITES her? Building a culture where high expectations and encouragement go hand in hand. She strives to keep a passion for student learning burning brightly at Oxfordā€”with room for adventure and joy along the way.

šŸ’¬ ā€œLife is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.ā€ ā€” Helen Keller

šŸ”„ One team. Our students. A shared spark for success.

During National Principalsā€™ Month, weā€™re celebrating Heather Kelly, principal of Mountain View Elementary School (pictured right)! With colorful leis, smiles, and decorated refreshment carts, this photo captures the fun and appreciation that help bring a school team together.

What Ms. Kelly loves most about Mountain View is that everyone pitches in for kids. Regardless of title or department, staff support one another and share the same purpose: doing whatā€™s best for our students.

What IGNITES her? Growthā€”watching people discover what theyā€™re capable of. She spreads that spark by believing in others, recognizing their strengths, giving them opportunities to lead, and celebrating their progress.

Her favorite quote reminds us that people will never forget how you made them feelā€”a message reflected in her focus on encouragement and connection.

Thank you, Ms. Kelly, for IGNITING growth, strengthening teamwork, and helping our Mountain View Wildcats shine! šŸ”„šŸ¾

šŸ”„ Learning starts with connectionā€”and knowing someone cares.

During National Principalsā€™ Month, weā€™re celebrating Neil Everett, principal of Mill Creek Middle School! Pictured alongside students in the classroom, Mr. Everett is right where the relationships that fuel his work take shape.

His favorite part of being a principal is connecting with students, families, and the community. He treasures Mill Creekā€™s exceptional students and the families who enthusiastically support their school and the Bandys feeder community.

What IGNITES him? Knowing students have a safe, fun place to learn and feel cared for as individuals. He wants every student to know they are lovedā€”and that learning includes how to apologize, correct mistakes, and move forward.

šŸ’¬ ā€œThe most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.ā€ ā€” Seneca

Thank you, Mr. Everett, for IGNITING belonging, encouraging growth, and leading with care for our Mill Creek Knights! šŸ”„
