Mrs. Grace, 4th-6th Grade Special Education Teacher, put up a "Gratitude Tree" earlier this week. To begin the branches we're bare but as the week has passed our tree has blossomed and become covered in leaves of thankfulness. 5th and 6th grade students as well as staff write something they are thankful for and add it to the tree. The responses have been amazing and it has been wonderful to see students expressing their gratitude for the blessings they have received. #WeChooseLearning #WildcatPride🧡🖤 #StrivingForExcellence

Lady Wildcats start the day off with a 1-1 record. Lady Wildcats drop the first game against Cabool. Lady Wildcats came back the 2nd game by defeating Couch in 2 sets. Lady Wildcats will play Eminence at 11:30 am in the Main Gym.
