🍎#THANKANMCSDPRINCIPAL🍎
Parent Renee Thompson is thankful for Hidden Oaks Middle School Principal Chris Jones.
"Last night, Hidden Oaks Middle School put on a zombie musical that was absolutely phenomenal," she shared. "One of the best and funny parts was having Dr. Jones participate in the musical! He was such a good sport, did an amazing job and the best was, he had fun with his students. It was so nice to see this and his smiling face around campus. Thank you for being involved on campus and being a great role model for our kids, Dr. Jones!"
