Thank you, Kennedy,for jumping in and helping this new young lady have a good first day!

Thank you both! We love you!

Our agriculture students have been working hard to harvest lettuce in the lab. What's more? They've even enjoyed some delicious salads from their bountiful supply.
Great work, Wildcats!
A BERRY GOOD DAY
Students in our Hospitality and Tourism class recently returned to the extension office for another Teen Cuisine lesson with Mrs. Lora.
They worked on cutting skills, preparing a Very Berry salsa. Students learned about knife safety and positioning and different types of cuts before practicing with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and apples.
They enjoyed eating their finished product with cinnamon crisps in the new farmer's market pavilion.
Great work, students!

WILDCAT OF THE WEEK
Mrs. Angie Shannon shares that, recently, all of a student's colored pencils fell from her locker. Jarin ran to help the student collect the pencils. A few additional pencils continued to fall, and he stayed and picked those up, too. Then, Jarin made certain that everything was in its place for the other student before making his way to class. Jarin is always helpful and often asks if people around him need help.
Way to be a leader, Jarin!
