🎉 National Principals Month Spotlight: Ms. Ashley Loyd
On this last Friday in October, we are celebrating Chapel Hill Junior High Principal Ashley Loyd—a leader who treats her staff like family, makes the work environment fun and looks for meaningful ways to connect with students.
“It is hard to think of just one thing, but what sticks out most is that she treats the staff like family,” said Assistant Principal Kari Geissal. “She shows compassion for struggling students and tries to find ways to connect with them.”
Ms. Loyd says she loves that no two days as a principal are ever the same. Her role allows her to solve problems, support people, celebrate successes and see the impact of the work happening across the entire campus.
A few fun facts about Ms. Loyd: Her hidden talent is baking, and she has a knack for making treats that taste as good as they look! When she is away from school, her favorite way to recharge is by spending time with her family.
Thank you, Ms. Loyd, for making Chapel Hill Junior High a place where employees feel valued and students feel supported. 💙💛

🎉 National Principals Month Spotlight: Ms. Bethanie Primeaux
Today, we are celebrating Kissam Intermediate Principal Bethanie Primeaux—a leader who makes relationships with students a priority throughout each school day.
“Ms. Primeaux models building relationships with students on our campus effortlessly,” said Kellye Arroyo, Kissam STEAAM teacher. “She has handshakes with multiple students, takes the time to listen to them and is present in the hallways, classrooms and lunchroom. She even laughs at their jokes—the corny ones, too! Our students look forward to seeing her.”
A few fun facts about Ms. Primeaux: Her hidden talent is refinishing and repurposing furniture, which was once her side hustle! When she is away from school, you can find her near the water—preferably at the beach, but the lake works, too. Her go-to source of energy is a Peach Monster!
Thank you, Ms. Primeaux, for making Kissam a place where students feel seen, heard and valued. 💙💛
🎉 Destacada del Mes Nacional de los Directores: la Sra. Bethanie Primeaux
Hoy celebramos a la directora de la escuela intermedia Kissam, Bethanie Primeaux, una líder que hace de las relaciones con los alumnos una prioridad a lo largo de cada jornada escolar.
“La Sra. Primeaux es un ejemplo de cómo forjar relaciones con los alumnos en nuestro campus con total naturalidad”, dijo Kellye Arroyo, maestra de STEAAM en Kissam. “Saluda con un apretón de manos a muchos alumnos, se toma el tiempo para escucharlos y está presente en los pasillos, las aulas y el comedor. ¡Incluso se ríe de sus chistes, incluso de los más cursis! Nuestros alumnos esperan con ansias verla”.
Algunos datos curiosos sobre la Sra. Primeaux: ¡Su talento oculto es restaurar y reutilizar muebles, lo cual alguna vez fue su trabajo extra! Cuando no está en la escuela, la puedes encontrar cerca del agua —preferiblemente en la playa, pero el lago también le sirve—. ¡Su fuente de energía favorita es un «Peach Monster»!
Gracias, Sra. Primeaux, por hacer de Kissam un lugar donde los estudiantes se sienten vistos, escuchados y valorados. 💙💛
