🖤 NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH SPOTLIGHT! ❤️
Today we're celebrating Mrs. Shawna Birchmeier, Principal of Kuehn-Haven Middle School!
With 24 years in education and 14 years as a principal, Mrs. Birchmeier has served as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal throughout her career.
⭐ What she loves most: Sharing everyday moments with students! Whether greeting them in the morning, chatting in the hallways, or watching them learn and grow, these interactions remind her why she loves what she does. She also appreciates the KHMS staff who go above and beyond to create memorable experiences for students, from field trips to Fun Night and Field Day!
🎓 What she hopes students remember: How the staff made them feel. Above all, she hopes students leave KHMS knowing they are valued, capable, and believed in, with confidence in who they are becoming.
🌱 Outside of school: She enjoys gardening, baking, yoga, traveling, spending time with family, and working on the family farm!
🐷 Fun fact: Mrs. Birchmeier's family has a farm where they grow crops and raise cattle, pigs, chickens, and ducks! Life on the farm keeps everyone busy! Her favorite foods are Mexican and Italian.
Thank you, Mrs. Birchmeier, for your dedication to KHMS, the relationships you build with students, and the memorable experiences you help create for our Rams! ❤️🖤
