Why does Dr. P where red shoes?  The answer to this question goes back to his days as principal at Badger High School in Lake Geneva.

While shopping for athletic shoes for two of his three children, they came across shoes that were red and white, the school colors of Badger High School.  Besides buying the shoes for his kids, Dr. P decided to get a pair for himself – to wear on special occasions at school.  He did that for a few years, but in August of 2004 (at an orientation program attended by 600 students and parents), Dr. P announced that although he previously wore his red shoes on special days at school, he was going to wear them everyday because “everyday should be a special day at school.”  And that’s exactly what he did!  Plus, when he was appointed superintendent/principal for the Fontana Joint 8 School District a year later he continued this tradition because (guess what?) the school colors for Fontana were: red and white! 

Now, Dr. P is serving the Washington-Caldwell School District as its administrator and you’ll see him wearing those red shoes again because (guess what?) the school colors of his new digs are . . . red and white! 

Now you know – the rest of the story!
