hope that you and others throughout your community will join me in
acknowledging the tireless efforts of our school principals across the
Commonwealth. Our principals work
diligently to help students and teachers excel, and their leadership and hard
work are essential to the success of our schools. They deserve all the recognition and praise
we can give them.

other officials in your division will celebrate Virginia Principals
Appreciation Week by planning a special community event or some other
