This week, we let the kids vote on a staff member for our Farmers and Merchants Bank "Banking on a Wildcat". Mrs. Paige Dearing was their vote and they had this to say about her: "She always supports all of the students' ideas, always has fun, and is never in a bad mood. She is very sweet and is always there for them when they need her." Lot's of students mentioned that she truly is a great asset to the wildcat family. Congratulations, Paige!
The Science Museum came and performed STEM Live for the entire student body on Monday. They had multiple demonstrations that were engaging and fun for everybody!
Tuesday was the Senior Beta induction. Justice West Weaver was the guest speaker and she gave a phenomenal talk about 5 things she has learned from her 2nd graders and how that can be applied to our daily lives. The 12 inductees this year were: Cadie McCracken, Harley Shoaf, Zanston Clark, Allie Tune, Hadley Brooks, John Campbell, Lincoln Coleman, Eli Coykendall, Katie Girton, Madison Haney, Bristen Robertson, and Nicolas Sant’Anna.
Tuesday was also the Wildcat Running Club’s Fun Run and 5k. Students and staff both competed. Classes had assigned positions along the route to help guide the runners on where to go next. Excited students waiting with congratulations at the finish line.
The students and staff also gathered for a Pep Rally for the first home game of the high school basketball season. We tested the players' knowledge on how to sweep a potato down the court, as well as their free throw shooting skills with one fun game. The Lady Wildcats defeated the Canute Trojanettes 56 to 43. The Wildcats played hard but lost to the Canute Trojans 56 to 73.

This was an awesome demonstration and the students loved it!
