The sixth annual “Principal for a (Half) Day” program, sponsored by the Eudora Schools Foundation, gives local community and business leaders a-close-up view of a day in the life of a principal. Participants will spend a morning with school principals to better understand their complex roles and to gain perspective on the school system from within. Community leaders, in turn, will share expertise and provide perspective on their business’ needs and opportunities for collaboration.

The Eudora Schools Foundation (ESF) has raised more than $59,000 from the third-annual ESF Give Day on March 7th. The total includes donations received from February 1st to March 10th.
