BARTLETT — Joe Yahna looks forward “to connecting with kids on a daily basis” an additional year as the principal of Josiah Bartlett Elementary School after the Bartlett School Board voted to extend his contract.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Yahna's second year at the helm did not go the way he'd planned — but he is embracing remote learning, attending countless meetings over the internet and putting in long days, all with a smile.
