“One of the things that I noticed as a principal is the number of referrals that I have received for discipline has decreased significantly,” Pumford said in the WXYZ interview. “So that’s been a very, very good thing… a sign that kids are happy at school.”
Short will be in Hartland on March 9, signing copies of her book at Kahuna Coffee that helps children learn to "spread the nice."
