This week's Farmer's and Merchant's Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to our Elementary leader, Mrs. Shoaf. Her colleague's had this to say about her: "Mrs. Shoaf leads with compassion and a genuine love for staff and students. She listens carefully and seeks to understand individual needs. She is both respectful and wise in her guidance. She never hesitates to help, whether it’s offering encouragement, providing direction, or simply being a steady presence in a challenging moment. She will drive a bus, dance in an inflatable costume, or sit on the floor and hold a crying student. She considers feelings when making decisions, values the perspectives of others, and seeks solutions that benefit students and staff alike. She embraces change when it improves the school, yet also understands the importance of preserving what already works well. Mrs. Shoaf is dedicated to creating a positive environment and truly cares for the people she serves." Congratulations, Mrs. Shoaf!

This week's Farmer's and Merchant's Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to Lynanne McDonald. Mrs. McDonald received a few nominations from her colleagues and they had this to say about her: "Mrs. McDonald is the kind of teacher who steps up wherever and whenever she’s needed with a smile and a positive attitude. Recently, she went above and beyond to find, learn about, and use photography equipment for senior sports photos and even designed and printed the amazing banners now hanging in the gym. Even while on maternity leave, Mrs. McDonald stayed incredibly organized and dedicated to her students’ success. In her classroom, she incorporates kindness lessons and meaningful activities into her literature studies, helping students grow not only academically but personally. Thank you, Mrs. McDonald, for your creativity, teamwork, and heart for students!" Congratulations, Mrs. Mac!

The nominations for Homecoming 2025 are in! Homecoming will be Friday, December 5th. Parents, if your student is listed, they will be receiving more information on the event. Dress is semi-formal. Go cats!
