This week’s Wolfie Way Wednesday highlights two persevering fifth graders: Carter Banks and Emilia Plewa!💙🐺🎉

Carter and Emilia showed great flexibility and resilience when asked to lead the class during a lesson. Despite being shy and unsure, they both agreed to create, display, and solve math problems on the board in front of the class. We are so proud of their choices to take risks and try something hard! Great perseverance Carter & Emilia!😊
