We're kicking off the Pledge Drive this week with a very special Teacher Feature. It's PRINCIPAL TIME!!! This week, we got to talk to the one and only Ms. Titia Kipp. She's been at Waters for 26 years—first as an art teacher, then as an assistant principal, and finally as our principal, a role she's held for the last 14 years. In a super fun twist, we switched things up and had the students ask the questions. Without further ado...

No I did not, I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I grew up.
Can you do a cartwheel?—Leila-2nd grade
Not anymore!
Cubs or Sox?—Henry, 1st grade.
