You will be walking through all the classrooms and visiting the ocean, space, time of the dinosaurs, the jungle, and the desert. Wear your brightest colors!
Good morning, Wildcats! We wanted to send one last reminder to our Wildkitten Den and Wildcat Club families that today will be the last day we will be accepting commitment sheets for the month of April. If you have not turned one in, please make sure to do so today. Thank you, and have a great Monday! ❤️
Mrs. Madrid and her Exceptional Wildcats returned for their second year to the Special Olympics at Safford High School. The athletes competed in events like the unified 2x50, unified 4x100, 50-meter run, 50-meter walk, softball throw, and javelin throw, each paired with a buddy. Every participant earned a medal or ribbon.
This year, she also brought five Metcalf students—Javier Hernandez, Jesse Esparza, David Brown, Xylex Tom, and Bradley Williams—along with their four aides. They were excited to take part and had an incredible time.
Middle school competitors included Averix Rios and Justyce Maggio, with Metcalf partners Cejay Madrid, Gabriel Martinez, Kyson Abril, Lyla Ferrell, Sophia Davis, and Shaycee Marin. High school competitors were Carlos Sanchez, Kayslyn Butler, Colin Clem, and Jayden Lopez, supported by their aides. Their partners were Ella Hooper, Madilynn Clark, Noah Chavez, Christopher Carbajal, James David, Zach Montoya, Cameron Woodall, Keirah Fernandez, Jayleah Hernandez, Adriana Carbajal, October Hernandez, and Elyse Brack.
A special thank you to the Greenlee County School Superintendent's Office for providing lunch.
The athletes proudly showed off their medals and ribbons, while their partners ran alongside them, cheering and capturing unforgettable moments. It was truly a day to remember

Subject: Spring Break Update for Wildcat Welders
Hello Wildcat Welders!
I hope you are all enjoying your spring break. I wanted to let you know that, as we discussed in class, the certification material is loaded on Schoology in the SMAW Material or GMAW Material folder. The PDFs are for reference, and the Kami assignments are included as well. Please be sure to do the reading from your NC3 accounts.
If you would like the assessment, just let me know, or we can wait until we return. Some of the Kami work will need to be done in the shop, so I will inform you about shop hours during the week.
Putting in an hour of work will put you ahead and give you more shop time to complete those labs. We are on a downhill stroke now, and the last 9 weeks will go by quickly!
Enjoy the rest of your spring break! Keep on keepin' on!
Mr. Aguinaga
