School principal is ‘Elf on the Shelf’

 

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. Children at one Indiana elementary school got the chance to have plenty of fun with their principal this week. And her Christmas spirit has put smiles on the faces of everyone at Southwestern Elementary School.

Students have watched as first-year Principal Beth Hoeing became a human ice cream cone. 

They won that tasty challenge after raising 5,000 cans of food. “It was quite a fierce competition - second grade between our two classrooms, and Mr. Robinson’s class won,” Hoeing said.

It’s one of the many things Hoeing has done for her students. She is also the “Elf on the Shelf.”

“I didn’t realize it was going to get this big,” she said. A TikTok video of her amassed nearly 8 million views. “Every day when they’re walking out, they say to me, ‘I can’t wait to see what the Elf is doing tomorrow,’” Hoeing said.

For Hoeing, it’s all about giving back to her students.“And for them to have something to look forward to each day when they come to school, it’s been something that’s been very magical,” she said.
