Student Helpers -
We have been focusing on Citizenship this semester and we have students that love to help out our custodians clean our school. We really enjoying watching students take pride in our school. Way to go Wildcats!!!!

Monkey Joe's Field Trip -
Mr. Zaiser and Mrs. Stewart are extremely overjoyed with how every Wildcat at the field trip showed so much citizenship today at Monkey Joe's. We had lots of parents tell us how well behaved they were and so helpful to their children. We love that they are willing to help little kids in need. Unfortunately, not every student was able to bring money for games but every student that did bring money split up their tickets and every student could bring home a prize. WAY TO GO WILDCATS!!!!
