Plymell Elementary School is this week's Superintendent's School of the Week. Here are some things to know about Principal Suzette Goldsby-Lewis:
What led you to teaching and what prompted your decision to become a principal?
“I had an amazing 4th grade teacher, Mrs. McGlohon, who inspired me to become a teacher. She was very stern and I cried when I found out she was going to be my teacher because I wanted the other teacher who was "fun". One of the best "disappointments" in my life. What I perceived as stern was actually her having high expectations for all her students, both academically and behaviorally, but we also knew she deeply cared about each one of us in her class. There's not a single thing that prompted me to become a principal. My journey just kind of led me in that direction with the support of my principal and colleagues.”
What is one of your hidden talents?
“I like to do carpentry and build/repair things in my yard and house.”
What are your hobbies or how do you spend your days off?
“I like to read and exercise as well as work in my yard in the summer. My days off are spent with family and friends, but I spend the mornings drinking coffee and snuggling my dogs on the couch.”
What accomplishments fill you with pride so far this year?
“Plymell students have really taken on ownership of their learning and are focused on improving their individual skills. When I walk down the hall, I see younger students not only seeking out staff to read to but seeking out the older students as well. The older students have done some amazing and creative projects during their generous hour. They are learning about things that interest them and many projects are benefitting the school or the community.”
If you could have on song played every time you entered a room what would it be and why?
“Happy by Pharrell Williams. We choose our mood each day, so why not choose to be happy and positive.”
Victor Ornelas Elementary School is holding a fundraiser in partnership with Freddy's tonight, March 29. Fifteen percent of all sales 5:00-9:00 p.m. will go back to the school. Thank you for your support!
