Wright had a wonderful time reading, watching performances and talking with the students. She learned a great deal about the improvements the school has made over the past year, and is looking forward to returning again next October.
Organized by PENCIL, or Public Education Needs Civic Involvement in Learning, the "principal for a day" program pairs thousands of New Yorkers from the private sector with the city's schools to foster partnerships, generate donations of cash, goods, and services for schools and school districts, and act as a vehicle through which the city's private sector advocates for educational reform.
