On Wednesday, June 15, at 2:30 p.m., the entire school came together and surprised Mrs. Killips with an all-school assembly to wish her all the best in her retirement (hee hee...she was really surprised!) (Her husband, Dave, even came and surprised her too, all the way from Chelsea.). There were tears, laughter, and a lot of singing as we watched a video that was created to celebrate the past three years as Woodland Meadows Principal. (Thank you Mrs. Spencer for creating the video!) We laughed because there were a lot of funny video clips with Mrs. Killips dressed as a bee and Mrs. Killips being slimed, we had tears because the video showed how much of a family that we really are at Woodland Meadows and we have to say goodbye to one of them (and Mrs. Spencer had to play that sappy "Over The Rainbow" song which gets you everytime), and there was a lot of singing because for some reason, the students all seemed to know the words to Dynamite by Taio Cruz, and the dance moves. (There's a YouTube video of the Woodland Meadows dance team that took home 1st place this year ...take a look if you can find it.) By the end of the video we were all throwing our hands up in the air. We had what you would call a Woodland Meadows' celebration! Wish you could have been there. PTA presented Mrs. Killips with a bookshelf of all of her favorite children's books (well, not all of them, I think her favorite list is in the 1000s). It's kind of her gift to us, because she can't take it home, but she can come visit it. It's home will be in the Media Center for students to enjoy. Ask your child/ren about the assembly, and next time you are visiting, take a look (but first sign in and say hello we'd love to see you).
