AISD Principals Shine as Nutcracker's "Mother Ginger"

Pat Butler, principal of Mills Elementary, performs as Mother Ginger in the Ballet Austin performance of "The Nutcracker."

I love being on the Board of Ballet Austin. This time of year is especially fun. I was able to help get our principals involved in this year's Ballet Austin performance of the Nutcracker.

Mills Elementary principal Pat Butler performed as Mother Ginger at the AISD Nutcracker performance on December 11, when her students attended the performance. The next day, Norman Elementary Principal Floretta Andrews performed in the role when her students attended. The two principals were awarded this opportunity because student attendance on their campuses exceeded targets by the most percentage points. Congratulations to Mills and Norman Elementary Schools and their talented principals. Keep up the good work!

First, the makeup.

Finally, Pat Butler is ready to go on stage.
