Great day to be a Principal! Today I taught first grade when we had no subs. This afternoon I joined our PTAs first annual Color Run. Here are my before and after pics. My 💙 is full!

Yup.

Thank you to the Coles PTA for donating Scholastic dollars to our faculty. I loved being able to add to my library of books!

Important reminder! 🙌

Congratulations Carol Clark on this amazing achievement. The teacher keynote is a long standing tradition in SB and I am proud to have had the pleasure of working with you!

Come and join us!

Dear Elementary School Teachers, Somehow you have made “criss cross applesauce” the most universal, memorable and powerful phrase ever. When I asked my high school students to sit on the floor for an activity, they all shouted, in unison, “criss cross applesauce!”

Happy Veterans day to all who served, including my father Nick Burghgraef.

“Never regret a day in your life: good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, worst days give you lessons, and best days give you memories.”

Love this great activity! Robert McGarry, Ed.D. Joan V. Mast, Ed. D.

Followed in the footsteps of Jodi Mahoney and spent time as a writing buddy for a 1st grader today. No matter how crazy my day is, I don't want to forget my roots. Being with students keeps me connected to the classroom.

Today a kindergarten student told me that we should name the school "Fehte Fun Elementary". This was the best part of my day!

Only for the SPF EEF would you see me playing basketball after a 35 year hiatus. SPF staff vs the Harlem Wizards.

This is one of my kindergarten teachers - couldn't happen to a more deserving person! #colespride
