An Interview with Our Principal, Ms. Burton

1.What is your favorite children’s book? Why?

My favorite children’s book isThe Hungry Caterpillarby Eric Carle. I like this book because I like butterflies and everybody knows that caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.

2.What is your favorite subject in school? Why?

My favorite subject in school was Language Arts because I like to read and I am a great writer.

3.What do you like to do in your spare time?

In my spare time, I like to run, get pedicures and hang out with my dog Astro Blue. I just learned how to play tennis, so that is something else I will do in my spare time.

4.How do you like being principal of Samuel F. B. Morse Elementary?

I love being principal here and my favorite part is being with my students.

5.What college did you attend? Would you recommend this college to others?

Why?

I went to Towson University. It’s a great college. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay home to attend school. However, I would encourage students to look in other states and to explore other colleges.

6.How did you spend your winter break?

Even though I was sick, I was able to go to the movies and have dinner with my son before he went back to college. I was able to attend a fundraiser and wear a pretty gown. It was fun.
