Orting Kids TALK Podcast

We are excited to share a fun project we have been working on! Introducing the Orting Kids TALK podcast hosted by Superintendent Ed Hatzenbeler. In each episode, Superintendent Hatzenbeler and a student host will ask questions to experts, talk about news and information about the Orting School District, and highlight stories across our district from our students, staff and community. Click here to listen to our first episode!
 
Our first episode focuses on our principals, as October is Principal Appreciation Month! Our newest principal is Connie Halvorson-Tran at Orting Elementary School, so our host Superintendent Ed Hatzenbeler and 4th grade student host Danica ask Ms. Halvorson-Tran the pressing questions Orting Elementary students wanted to know! 
 
We handed out question sheets for our OES students to fill out, and included a space for students to share what they would do if they were a principal and a space to draw themselves as a principal or draw their principal! See below some of the highlights of what students said and drew!
