Interview with Mrs. Barr, Assistant Principal at South Grade Elementary

By Caleb, Francisco, Donovan, and Yessenia
This month we were able to sit down with Mrs. Barr to learn more about her. We know she is really busy and we are thankful she give up some of her time to answer our questions so we could get to know her better!
How do you like being an Assistant Principal?
I am always happy to come in. I LOVE Mondays because I miss everyone over the weekend.
What would you do if you were not an Assistant Principal?
If I was not a principal I would be a teacher. I always wanted to teach kids.
Do you have a pet?
I have two dogs. Stewie is a big dog. He weighs 170 pounds but he still thinks he is a lapdog. We also have a dog named Kane. He is a K9 dog. He works with my husband as a police dog. He cries when my husband leaves the house and doesn’t take him with him.
What do you do in your spare time?
I like to go shopping! I also do DIY crafts with my daughter. For example, I made a high top pub table into a coffee table. It turned out nice!
What is your favorite genre to read?
I like to read crime and mystery. I always try to solve the mystery before the end of the book.
What is your favorite subject in school?
I liked math and reading. Math was my favorite because reading was hard for me. I became a better reader as I got older and practiced more. I always circle words I don’t know to look up in a dictionary or thesaurus and that has helped me as a reader.
What is your favorite place to go?
I like to people watch so I like to go to places where I can be outside like City Place. I enjoy the nice weather and Christmas lights. I also like the fake snow!
What is your favorite object?
I love handbags to carry around!
Do you have kids?
I have three kids! Two boys and one daughter. Dominic is 14 years old. Aidan is 13 years old and my daughter Graciela is 10 years old.
