Our first Farmer's and Merchant's Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to Erin Jones. Erin's teacher's had this to say about her: "Erin is pleasant to be around as her easy-going and kind attitude permeates to those around her. Her presence with the little kids has been noticed as well. Whether it be around the school, or on the bus, she is always willing to help with them and also engages with them to help brighten their day." Congratulations, Erin, we are happy you are a part of the wildcat family!

Attention wildcat fans! These are going home with all of our students tomorrow. Any student that purchases a spirit t-shirt will get free entry into ALL wildcat basketball regular season home games for the 2025-2026 season. Students must wear the t-shirt in order to get free entry. Orders are due this Friday @ 12:00 pm. Please make any checks payable to "Arnett Athletics" and students can turn order forms into Coach Royal. Go Cats!
