Always stepping up! Go Wildcats!

❤️🖤 Wildcat Shoutout! ❤️🖤
We are so thankful for our head custodian, Ms. Rachel, who came out over the weekend to clean up our playground. She wanted to make sure our playground was safe, clean, and ready for our students when they returned on Monday—and she went above and beyond to make that happen! 🛝✨
We also appreciate Mr. George from the county, who was here first thing Monday morning, ready to lend a hand with the cleanup and repair a piece of our playground equipment.
We are so fortunate to have people who care so much about our students and our school! Thank you, Ms. Rachel and Mr. George, for always helping keep our Wildcats safe! 🐾❤️🖤
