Southlake Carroll announces new high school principals
Two educators with years of leadership experience in the Carroll school district were chosen to replace two high school principals who left for other jobs after their contracts were not renewed beyond 2026. Shatina Lewis, who was principal at Carroll Middle, was named principal at Carroll Senior High School and Patrick Holladay, principal at Johnson Elementary, is now principal at Carroll High School. Lewis replaces Ryan Wilson, who was hired last week as the principal at Sagniaw Boswell. Holladay takes over for Christina Benhoff, who was hired May 15 as the principal at Keller Timber Creek High School. Superintendent Jeremy Glenn announced the leadership changes during Monday night's school board meeting. 'Changes in school leadership are unsettling,' he said. 'We recognize that transitions can create uncertainty,' Glenn said. Lewis was principal at Carroll Middle School for over three years. During her time as principal, she fostered academic excellence and strong community partnerships, the district said in a statement. Before becoming principal at Carroll Middle, Lewis was an assistant principal at Dawson Middle School. She began her career in the district in 2014 as an English teacher at Carroll Senior High. Holladay taught high school math for 20 years throughout North Texas. Holladay was assistant principal at the Mansfield school district's Donna Shepard Intermediate Leadership Academy for six years before coming to the Carroll school district. Glenn also announced that Stefan Benadetti, teacher of the year in 2023, is the district's choir director.

New Jersey students compete in "SOUPer Bowl" food drive against two Kansas City schools
Near the endzone in the lobby of Johnson Elementary in Cherry Hill, students spent part of Friday counting cans of soup and filling bags full of canned goods. "Everyone has so much spirit and energy," said Jaxson Cygler, a fifth grader at Johnson Elementary. The young Eagles fans are hoping to win on Sunday, and win what their principal has dubbed, the "SOUPer Bowl." "I think it's really fun because we get to interact and we get to challenge other people," said Ian Black, a student at the school. Once the Eagles won the NFC Championship, the Principal, Jared Peltzman, and the PTA challenged the students to a canned soup drive. They encouraged kids to bring the donations into school, which will then be donated to a local food pantry. Johnson Elementary held the same challenge two years ago, the last time the Birds were in the Super Bowl. "The kids are really excited about it, the families are really excited about it, so we have parents dropping them off and it's just been way more than I ever expected," Peltzman said. The challenge was also extended to two schools in the suburbs of Kansas City. The students are pitted against each other to see who can collect the most canned goods. "The principal of the school that loses has to wear the other team's colors or jersey during the Super Bowl. So we will be sending some pics back and forth," Peltzman said. The schools have also sent videos back and forth this week having some fun ahead of a Birds and Chiefs rematch. Win or lose, all three schools say the competition is helping their communities. "It's about who we can help, so whoever wins it's a win overall," Cygler said. The competition closed on Friday afternoon. Johnson Elementary did not win, but students helped collect more than 3,600 cans of food. "We want them to leave today proud of the fact they raised a lot of food for people that are in need," Peltzman said.
