Today I am a principal at East San Jose Elementary School on Albuquerque NM. I didn’t get a new job, I just visited this amazing school today.

Quite possibly the best principal day ever! #westisbest @MrMinsley @ZionDistrict6

@MrMinsley They were students at West when it was a new school in 1959.

Today, two gentlemen knocked on our door at #WestZD6. They no longer lived in state, but had fond memories of their time at our school. As we gave them a tour of the building, the stories they shared were as crisp as yesterday. What will your students remember? @JedwardsJoseph

At #WestZD6 we started the new year with an assembly teaching PBIS skills and having some fun playing games. The best part was the rainbow of brand new shirts celebrating the West House System! #ImAPuma @JedwardsJoseph

Just another way that West is Best! Our families and staff had a wonderful time with our Book or Treat event Thursday evening. I heard the popcorn chef was pretty amazing, too.

It's Red Ribbon Week at #WestZD6. Today's theme is, "Say Boo to Drugs" and kids are supposed to wear fall themed colors or costumes... but aren't theme days more fun when the adults get to play along??? @JedwardsJoseph #ZionD6

First evacuation drill of the year was a huge success @WestZD6. Staff did a great job teaching students the procedures. Our students were all safe and respectful throughout the process. #ZionD6 @JedwardsJoseph
