Each week, Musketeer of the Week will be represented by a student in fourth through eighth grades. A Musketeer of the Week is chosen for showing great character, doing small deeds with big impacts, or for displaying kindness.
This week, Mrs. Trish Steele shares that Carter went above and beyond to help her third-grade students up the stairs on their way to specials classes. She notes that Carter slowed other students, making sure all of the third-grade students safely reached the top of the stairs.
Way to be a leader, Carter!
Sixth-grade student, Cheyanne Woods, placed third in the middle school division 3K at the Mason County Invitational. Cheyanne finished with a time of 14:26. She was running against many regional top runners in seventh and eighth grades from across the region.
We are so incredibly proud of this Musketeer!
