Mary Ann Winterling, the longtime principal of Baltimore's Bentalou Elementary School, died yesterday. I'm told she'd been sick for some time, though she continued in her job. She worked for the city school system 44 years, 35 of them at Bentalou and 29 as the school's principal. Under her leadership, Bentalou was named a Maryland Blue Ribbon School in 2003.

Ms. Winterling was a fantastic principal. I got the opportunity to work directly with her a few times last year, and her dedication to the students and the community could easily stand as a model for principals city-wide. Her absence creates a huge hole in the neighborhood and she will be deeply missed.
