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!
