Superintendent Kindergarten Room Visit

Summary : Superintendent Shares a Story

Superintendent Shares a Story 

It was an alphabet adventure during story time when Superintendent Brent Jones stopped by Broadview-Thomson Pre K-8 on Sept. 19.  

As part of a back-to-school tour, Dr. Jones sat with young scholars in Patsy Burgess’s kindergarten class to read “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,” by Bill Martin Jr.  

Dr. Jones attended Broadview as a child before it merged with Thomson.   

Afterwards, Broadview-Thomson Principal Tipton Blish led Dr. Jones around the school to visit with third graders who were learning about time. He also visited a middle school class where students were learning the importance of staying organized.  

Earlier that morning, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell read to kindergarteners at Olympic Hills Elementary. Mayor Harrell read “I Am Every Good Thing,” by Derrick Barnes then took questions from students.
