In this episode of the Public School Podcast, Executive Director Sara Hornick and Community Relations Manager Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with new West Middle School Principal Bobbie Morrison to talk about her journey from substitute teacher to principal, the lessons she's learned in nearly every role in education, and why building relationships is at the heart of effective leadership. She also shares how her own children attended West, her plans to collaborate with staff on the school's future, and why being visible in classrooms and hallways is one of her top priorities. Plus, listeners will get to know Bobbie outside the classroom as she talks books, family traditions, favorite local restaurants and the teacher who inspired her career. It's an encouraging conversation about leadership, community and the excitement of a new school year at West Middle School.</p>","author_name":"Amy Rose"}
