In a nod to tradition and community spirit, the first paw print has been placed at the Crawford-Rodriguez Elementary School (CRS), marking the beginning of what promises to be a cherished annual event.
This initiative not only symbolizes the pride and unity of the CRS community but also sets a precedent for future celebrations.
Alongside the paw print, CRS plans to purchase a banner with the inspiring message, “Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.” This banner is intended to remind all students and staff of their enduring connection to the CRS community, reinforcing a sense of belonging and pride.
The introduction of these traditions at CRS aims to strengthen community bonds and inspire current and future students.
