Ninety students received Wildcat Cards today for their academic performance during the first nine weeks.  This equates to 32% of the 7th graders with Wildcat Cards.  Ms. Ulmer challenged the 32% that received cards to continue to study hard while trying to improve their wildcat card color by the end of the second nine weeks.  Ms. Ulmer also challenged the other 68% that did not receive a card to work extra hard this nine weeks in order to get a card at the next celebration.

The Mayor Visits

Team 7-3 had the pleasure to meet with Mayor Echols and learn about all the exciting things that are taking place in Rock Hill.  If you are interested in BMX biking, ask someone from Team 7-3 about the wonderful venue that will be in Rock Hill soon.  Also, do you know how much the mayor gets paid in a year?  I wonder if anyone remembers what he said.  The figure is very shocking.
