If I were a principal for a day I would play Elvis Presley on the intercom all day. I also would buy a couple of cakes and divide them equally and give it for lunch. I also would have a special outdoor class for everyone. I also would make snacks 50% off.
Zander Lowe, 6th, Elydale Elementary, Mr. DiVirgilio
If I was principal for a day I would let the kids do whatever they want. All of the kids would be happy and not sad. And if the kids want to go home I would let them and the teachers. I will let the kids take naps and days off. That’s all I would do.
Charla Clifton, 6th, Elydale Elementary, Mr. DiVirgilio
If I was principal for one day I would sleep in my office and let kids do anything. There would be no teachers because there will not be any classes. Everybody would love it because it will be fun. That is what I would do.
James Cook, 6th, Elydale Elementary, Mr. DiVirgilio
If I was principal for a day I would have a cosplay club, laser tag, and pizza for lunch. The first club I would have will be a cosplay club. We will dress up as Mario. Mario will be the first play. I would do laser tag for recess. You’ll have to do parkour to get through the obstacles. I’m going to go crazy with my laser tag gun. We’ll have pizza for lunch. The pizza will be extra cheese. Everyone likes extra cheese. The pizza will be from Little Caesars. This is what I would do if I was the principal for the day.

If I was the principal I would turn the whole school into a trampoline. I would turn the lunch room, the classroom, and the computer lab into a trampoline. At lunch I would jump on the tables. Everybody would be going crazy. I would also jump on the stoves and the oven. I would also jump on the fork and spoon counter. It would be so fun! I would jump in the classroom too. I would jump on the desks and the kidney table. I would jump all over the room. It would be so funny. Then we could go to the computer lab. We could jump on the computer tables and the computers. It would be so fun. We could jump on and off the walls. Teachers would be going crazy. They would be calling parents. That is why as a principal I would turn the whole school into a trampoline. It would be a great experience. Everybody would love it and so would I.
Elizabeth Jennings, 2nd, Hilton Elementary, Mrs. Edwards
As a principal I would make the school into a little place you can stay with a pool and a buffet. The buffet would go well with the pool because you could have a pool party. I would make a place where you could stay because in the morning you would be at school. It would be in the library. There would be pillows and mattresses to sleep on. There would be a pool in the gym, and you could swim all morning long. Then students would be ready for school. In the morning you can swim until 8:00 and then it is free after 3:00 pm. there would be an all-you-can-eat buffet in the lunch room. You could walk through and get what you wanted. There would be fruit, meat, and dessert to choose from. This is what I would do if I was principal for a day. I think the students would like this, and I would too.
Cayden Harper, 2nd, Hilton Elementary, Mrs. Edwards
I always wanted to be a principal. I would eat with the other teachers. I could eat in my own office. I would be on my computer evaluating the teachers. Play with the kids in the lunch room. It’s fun being a principal.

Hello I am the principal of Miller Perry…Just kidding but if I was I would do this! If I was the principal I would let everyone on Fridays get some frozen yogurt. Another thing I would do is for every lunch I would let them pick from a slushy or soda to drink and a donut or cupcake for dessert! And for anyone who got all A’s they would get to go to Dollywood. Thanks for reading my article, what do you think about it? Thanks and read more of the Kingsport Times News.

This is what I would do if I was principal for a day. A big teacher party. Next is a student thank you day. Next is more fundraiser. This is what I would do if I was principal for a day.
Ava Elliott, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
If I were the principal of Miller Perry, these are three things I would do in one day, as a principal. The first thing I would do as a principal is learn the names of all the students in the whole school. The second thing I would do is tell the students all the expectations over the intercom. The last thing I would do as principal is make a sheet of all the expectations for the students to take home. Being a principal would be a big responsibility to have. But, if I am a principal one day I will hopefully help improve our school!
Bethany Linkous, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Nick Glover, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
If I were the principal at Miller Perry for one day I would do three things. What I would do first is give less homework because I always get one question that takes me forever. The next thing I would do is to make sure there are no bullies by hiring students to do special jobs. The last thing I would is giving good students extra related arts. That is what I would do if I were the principal at Miller Perry.
