On Wednesday, March 11th, the Millbrae School District enlisted the support of five people from various civic organizations in Millbrae to serve as Principals for the Day at each of the five schools in the district. The Millbrae School District is one of many districts in San Mateo County that participated in this annual event.

After spending the morning "shadowing" the real principals at the schools, the participants were treated to a performance by the Taylor Middle School string quartet and a lovely lunch.

This year's participants included Marcia Raines (Millbrae City Manager), Robert Gottschalk (Millbrae Mayor), Sandy Wee (Millbrae Librarian), Paul Larson (Millbrae Lions Club) and John Ford (Millbrae Chamber of Commerce).
