Mills Pond Principal Puckers Up
Mills Pond Elementary School Principal Ireen Westrack kissed a pig as a reward for the students reaching and exceeding their PARP goal.
SMITHTOWN, NY - From Smithtown Central School District: When Ireen Westrack, principal at Mills Pond Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District, makes a promise to students, she keeps it. In the beginning of February, Westrack challenged the school to read 50,000 minutes during Parents As Reading Partners month.
If they met that challenge, Westrack promised to kiss a pig. Not only did the school meet her challenge, but they far exceeded the goal. On March 1, local 700-pound hog Bruce made the trip to the school and Westrack delivered on her promise in front of the whole school.
