No Referral November! Our students had a great time celebrating their achievement of exhibiting the P.A.W.S. expectations throughout the month of November. All students who did not earn a referral the ENTIRE month of November had a chance to celebrate the Wildcat way!! Another GREAT event organized by our phenomenal BRT, Ms. Allen! It's great to be a Metcalfe Wildcat where our students are Built to Roar and Born to Lead!!
