Raegan and Gracie were the model of student leadership today! A peer passed out newsletters that he had created for Carmel and they took it upon themselves to share them with others around campus, including Ms. Cat in the office. They even advocated for Mrs. Adams to share his Cougar news with the rest of our campus! We celebrated their initiative, leadership, and overall being great friends with a trip to the book vending machine! Way to go, girls! And thank you to Ms. Cat for supporting them in sharing! #CarmelCougars #YouAreALEADer #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD
