At Saint Pat's, parents could enter their kids for a chance to be principal for a day by donating money to the school.

Seventh grader Eva Land took on the leadership role as principal for field day. She says this experience gave her a whole new perspective.

"It's not only just fun, but it gives you like an opportunity to see what their life is like and how much work they put into their day," Land said.
