🐾🍿 Cats of Character Popcorn Party! 🍿🐾
Yesterday we celebrated our incredible Cats of Character with the ultimate popcorn party—all the toppings, all the fun, and all the recognition these students deserve! 🎉
These outstanding Wildcats were chosen and nominated by their teachers for showing exceptional character, leadership, kindness, and responsibility. They spent their Cat Connections period celebrating together, enjoying treats, and being recognized for the amazing role models they are! 🌟
A HUGE thank-you to our wonderful parents who came to help and to those who donated items for the popcorn bar. Your support makes moments like this possible! ❤️
Way to go, Cats of Character! Keep shining and showing what it means to be a true Wildcat! 🐾
