VIP OF THE WEEK

Norton Patch VIP of the Week: Danielle Klingaman

Nourse Elementary principal to take job in North Attleboro.

It’s quickly evident when talking to L.G. Nourse Principal Danielle Klingaman how passionate she is about education. She says it will be “heartbreaking” to leave the school to become principal at a school in North Attleboro in July.  “It’s extremely difficult to leave,” Klingaman said. “I’ve grown to love the kids and their families. There’s a great sense of pride and community here.”  Klingaman has been the principal at the Nourse school for four years and worked as an assistant principal in East Bridgewater prior to coming to Norton.

Whiz Kid of the Week: Victoria Weeman

Third grader wins bid to be principal for a day.

Before her elementary school career is over, third grader Victoria Weeman might have enough experience to become a principal. Victoria, 8, bid in a silent auction at the LGN Winter Carnival last month to become principal at L. G. Nourse Elementary School for the day. This is the second time she has won. On Friday, April 8, Victoria got to cash in on her prize. Her duties included lunch duty, photocopying items, bus duty, organizing grocery bags for an Earth Day project, and, of course, giving her class extra recess time. “I think it’s fun. I’d definitely do it again,” said Victoria, who is in Jennifer Carlson’s class. In fact, she said that she would like to be a real principal when she grows up. “I hope she does become a real principal …
