We are thrilled to honor Pansy Thomas-Camp for the Wildcat P.A.W.S Award in recognition of her unwavering dedication and spirited support for our beloved Wildcats for generations.

Her rendition of the Wildcat Victory song and dance has become a cherished tradition, lifting the spirits of players and fans alike.
As a lifelong supporter, Grandma Pansy can be seen in the stands rain or shine, win or lose, cheering on our Wildcats with unparalleled passion. What sets Grandma Pansy apart is her unique ability to say it like it is. Her candid and honest support has endeared her to players, coaches, and fellow fans alike. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and her authenticity is valued in the Wildcat community.
Grandma Pansy truly bleeds blue and white, and brings everyone a smile when they hear her start singing, “everywhere we go, people wanna know who we are so we tell them…” Grandma Pansy, thank you for your continued support of our Wildcat athletes.

Miss Katelyn is currently a special education paraprofessional at Jonesburg Elementary. Previously she was the preschool paraprofessional at JBE and MCE.

Katelyn is a paraprofessional at our school this year. I have enjoyed watching her build relationships with the students she works with each day. I get the privilege to see Katelyn interact with students in my room and watch her interact with my own child with special needs. My daughter absolutely loves Katelyn. That makes a mama heart so happy! We are blessed to have Katelyn at JBE!
Katelyn is at JBE full time this year as a para. She has done so well with the students she is with one on one with by meeting them where they are at but still having high expectations. She is eager to learn and step in where she is needed. As a classroom teacher, she is willing to talk with me about strategies and ideas for the betterment of ALL kiddos in my class, not just the ones she is in there to support.

The Montgomery County R-II School District would like to announce the October winner of the Wildcat Award. The Wildcat Award is given to a staff member who exemplifies our mission of creating lifelong learners and productive citizens. We are excited to present this award to Mrs. Jessica Fredrick.
Mrs. Fredrick is the nurse at Montgomery County High School. Jess does an excellent job taking care of the MCHS students and staff! She is always willing to advocate for students and help out when needed.
Her nominations say:
Jess is one of the hardest workers. She has kids in and out of her office daily. She often misses lunch as she is tending to the needs of students. I recently had a little critter problem with one of my students and she helped so much. She doesn't make students ashamed or embarrassed, but helps them. I appreciate her and I know the students do as well.
Nurse Jess has taken care of me, and my kids, for many years. Many people may not know that our nurses not only take care of hundreds of kids, but also many, many staff members! Jess helps me out with so many things personally and in my classroom, she has a halo and a direct pass straight to heaven!
Nurse Jess will do whatever she can to help students, both within her responsibilities and beyond her office. Whenever called upon, if there’s a need she can fulfill, Nurse Jess is eager to say yes and pitch in. Beyond caring for our students, Nurse Jess is often creative in proposing solutions to problems that emerge in our school. Simply put, Nurse Jess is a valued member of Montgomery County High School.
Congratulations, Jess, we truly appreciate your dedication to our students!
