Throughout her busy days of going to meetings and observing teachers, she still manages to have a presence in the school. Mrs. McKenna always seems to be able to get across to the students and keep many good relationships with them. While she may be a very strict and “by the rules” person, she is able to do maintain structure without the kids giving her too much of a problem.

As she does have many good relationships with kids, she does the same with the teaching staff as well.
