(St. Paul, MN, May 14, 2007) – Jolene Jans Landwer, principal of Marble
and Van Dyke Elementary Schools in the Greenway School District
(Minnesota ISD #316), and a member of the Minnesota Elementary School
Principals’ Association (MESPA), is Minnesota’s 2007 National
Distinguished Principal (NDP). The U.S. Department of Education and the
National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) jointly

“Research results prove what school communities know from experience --
successful schools depend on dedicated instructional leaders,” said
Vincent Ferrandino, past NAESP executive director. “This honor
represents our deep appreciation to a few of those who are committed to
the academic, social, and emotional development of school children.”
“I
am proud to be one of hundreds of Minnesota elementary principals who
are fortunate to work in a profession that has the ability to change
the world,” said Landwer. “It is with a sincere sense of honor and
privilege that I represent this group of professional, dedicated, and
determined individuals as their 2007 National Distinguished Principal.”
