Quick thinking is de rigueur for an elementary-school principal, but Hillendale Elementary's Steve Dissinger was truly impressive when Hillendale hosted the school board meeting on Monday, April 16.
"Where's the Husky?" demanded district superintendent John Sanville at the beginning of the meeting. (The Husky is the school's energetic mascot who shows up at all special events.)
Mr. D didn't miss a beat.
"The Husky is in training," he replied. "For the Iditarod."
Mr. D went on to honor Hillendale students who participated in the Reading Olympics and in the before-school running program.
After which I departed; I left Wm. Shawn Weigel listening attentively in the front row, like the good reporter that he is, and his article about the meeting appeared in last week's paper.
