💙🦅 Happy Principals Month, Mrs. Mosley!
October is National Principals Month, and we’re proud to celebrate our own Mrs. Mosley for the leadership, dedication, encouragement, and care she brings to East Bay K-8 every day.
A great principal does more than lead a school. They support teachers, encourage students, connect with families, solve problems, and somehow keep about 37 things moving at once without the building moving to chaos.
Thank you, Mrs. Mosley, for everything you do to help our Eagles learn, grow, and succeed!
💙 We are East Bay Eagles! 🦅
