Warrenton - Warren County Record

During a fundraiser at Holy Rosary Catholic School, one of the auction items was the chance to be principal for the day. Brailynn and Keegan Caswell won the opportunity. On Tuesday, April 2, the siblings shared the job under the direction of Mary Wooley, principal. Brailynn was in charge of a school wide scavenger hunt while Keegan headed up an afternoon ice cream social. Both students learned some of the day-to-day jobs of being principal. Pictured, from left, are principal Mary Wooley, Brailynn and Keegan Caswell.
