High 5: Grant Elementary Grateful For Attentive Principal

Feb 18, 2021, 7:44 AM | Updated: 7:45 am

MURRAY, Utah – Ever since the pandemic hit nearly one year ago, it’s been a whole new normal for schools around the world – including in Utah.

At Grant Elementary School in Murray, there are some very grateful people who appreciate their principal.

The pandemic has changed a lot of things at the elementary, but what has not changed is the family feeling. Staff and parents say it’s because of their principal, Mindy Ball.

They say she takes time to learn everyone’s name, she makes every student feel seen and heard, and she makes sure the teachers are being taken care of, too.

KSL honored Ball with a remote High 5 for everything she does for the students and parents of Grant Elementary School.

Do you know someone doing good in our community? A friend or family member building up neighbors or a coworker giving selflessly? Click here to nominate them for a KSL High 5.
