As National Assistant Principals Week came to an end today, we celebrated our beloved Assistant Principal, Mr. Coatney! 💜 There were Mr. Coatneys everywhere in their running attire, beards, t-shirts and blazers, and crazy taco cat shirts as staff dressed like our favorite AP. 🤣 We also stocked him up with enough snacks and caffeine to keep him fueled for the rest of the school year! Thank you, Mr. Coatney, for all you do for Vann students, staff, and families! We 💛 you! #beincredible
