So, @jjimen85 Mr. Jesus Jimenez (teacher & admin intern) dressed up for Halloween today. When we asked who he was dressed as, he said as the principal - lol- hilarious! On this day 2 years ago I had a major shoulder surgery & recently a foot surgery- I wore regular clothes to school upon my speedy return though. Spartans Elevate - Together We Rise! WE>me!
