The SCV Education Foundation Proudly Presents the 25th Annual Principal for a Day

by | Sep 29, 2017 | Community

 The SCV Education Foundation will be celebrating its 25th year of Principal for a Day event on Friday, October 13. Participants will spend the morning with a Principal or Administrator of their choice from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. A catered lunch at the Santa Clarita Centre from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. will follow with all principals, district administrators, and sponsors attending.
“Our goal is to have each one of the 54 public schools in the Santa Clarita Valley to be matched with a business leader, community members or parent during this event,” says Jim Backer, founder of the SCV Education Foundation and current Board President. “It’s an outstanding way for the community to spend a couple of hours immersed in one of our local schools in order to get a first-hand perspective of the local public school educational environment. We say its Principal for a Day but it’s really a two hour commitment,” adds Backer.

Each one of these school district representatives are looking forward to welcoming community members into their schools on the morning of October 13.
Following the school visits, principals and their guests will gather for a luncheon to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this event as well as introduce the SCV Education Foundation Hall of Fame. Jim Backer, will be the first recipient of this award and will be recognized for having demonstrated measurable influence on the growth and development of education in the Santa Clarita Valley.
