Simple Systems, Lasting Impact: Character Through Daily Announcements - Meg Boyd

Today our guest is Meg Boyd the Principal at Edgewood Elementary. Meg shares how her school uses morning announcements to keep a daily focus on character in every classroom. From "Motivation Monday" to "Fun with Words Friday," each day carries a theme that unites students and staff while strengthening school culture. What began during COVID as simple voice-over slides has grown into a consistent, schoolwide practice that proves connection doesn't have to be polished to be powerful. With student shout-outs, quotes, and simple reminders, these daily announcements have become a daily touchpoint for connection.
