Nearly 40 Santa Maria Valley business and community leaders had the opportunity to be a principal for a day at public and private school campuses on Wednesday, March 9, as the Santa Maria Valley Industry Education Council and the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitors & Convention Bureau co-sponsored the Principal for a Day event.
Volunteers planned to spend the morning at a school site in Santa Maria, Guadalupe, or Orcutt to learn more about the challenges facing educators. It was an opportunity to interact one-on-one with the school principal and create ongoing partnerships.
The luncheon event also included recognition of the Chamber of Commerce Youth of the Month award recipients as well as a performance by the Santa Maria High School Jazz Ensemble.
