(SALEM) - St. Vincent de Paul School Principal, Ruth Whitnah, has named Mickey Walker, age 8, as "Principal", for Thursday, June 1st. The announcement was part of a school fundraiser that Mickey won. Mickey will arrive to school, around 8:00 AM in a white 10-passenger stretch limousine, provided as part of the special day, by Advantage Limousine in Keizer. Mickey will immediately take the reigns by reporting to the Principal's desk to make the morning announcements. It is anticipated that Mickey will implement his own school rules for the day, to include: Free Dress Passes for all students -- no school uniforms allowed! Recess is expected to be lengthened, PE classes will be longer and math classes are likely to be banned for the day! "Former Principal" Ruth Whitnah, will report to Mickey's 3rd grade classroom and take Mickey's seat in class. Mrs. Whitnah will complete Mickey's assigned classroom work for the day. Mrs. Whitnah will take Mickey and two students, to be designated by Mickey, to lunch at a restaurant of Mickey's choice. "Watch Out SUBWAY!"
