Elementary principal Tim McMahon spends his noon hours during the week handing out school lunches — Wednesday it was tacos. He says it’s a good way see all the students every day. It’s a small investment of time since lunch is only about a half-hour but the payoff for McMahon is making personal connections.

McMahon was nominated by his staff who described him a man who instills a true sense of pride among students, staff, parents and the community. The nominations say that McMahon often goes above the call of duty and has helped families fix their cars, get into hotel rooms when they were without housing and drives children to school when necessary.

Katy Fields is the secretary at Warren. She says McMahon is a phenomenally dedicated principal with a huge sense of humor. She says she’s seen him do everything from help a student with potty training to climb on the roof to retrieve misguided items.“He does everything that most principals don’t do, and then some,” Fields said. “He does whatever it takes to help kids function in society in a healthy way.”
