Shoutout to our amazing Assistant Principal, Mr. Withers! 🎉 He turned an old drum harness into a portable desk so he can move right into classrooms and support our teachers and students wherever they need him! As a former drummer himself, Mr. Withers knows how to keep the rhythm going, whether it’s helping with lesson plans, working with students, or just bringing some extra fun into the day. He’s always thinking outside the box (or in this case, outside the drum kit 😉). We’re so lucky to have such a creative and dedicated leader at our school. Let’s hear it for Mr. Withers and his one-of-a-kind mobile workstation! 🥁📚
