Wildcat of the Week (Staff) - Sarah Daniels
Special thanks to Ms. Sarah Daniels, our Wildcat Staff of the Week. Ms. Daniels is a staple of professionalism, consistency, and she is only in her second year here at JWLA. Ms. Daniels has established a great rapport with her students both in and out of the classroom - she is a model teacher and a reliable Cross Country Coach. Thanks for your willingness to go the distance for our school, Ms. Daniels!
