OAKLAND Two Atwood Primary students escorted their principal, Jennifer McGee, into the gymnasium Tuesday morning for a surprise assembly to celebrate her winning the statewide honor of 2017 Principal of the Year.
McGee was greeted by all of her students, her family, the school’s staff and the district’s administrators. Many were wearing yellow in her honor, said Denice Hatch, a kindergarten teacher at the Atwood school, because McGee is “a ray of sunshine.”
