In the Fremont Neighbor News

Kristen Eckert took over as B.F. Day Elementary’s interim principal last year in the wake of unexpected staff departures. This spring Seattle Public Schools made her interim title permanent.

Eckert said that “all roads seem to come back to B.F. Day.” Her best friend from college and a fellow administrator she greatly admires, both attended B.F. Day. A family friend of her mother’s was a student teacher there 50 years ago.
