💙 Today we celebrate Ms. Seagle, principal of North Brook Elementary, during National Principals Month!
She’s a lifelong Blue Jay at heart who once dreamed of becoming a teacher ✏️ — and she’s been inspiring students ever since. Her best piece of advice? “Worry less about being impressive and more about being genuine.” 💡
Fun facts:
✨ She has never sung karaoke.
✨ She doesn’t drink coffee (and never has!).
✨ If she could star in a movie remake, she’d choose The Notebook. 🎬
In retirement, she hopes to ditch the alarm clock ⏰ and live the beach bum life. 🏖️
Thank you, Ms. Seagle, for your leadership, heart, and dedication to the North Brook community! 💙
