Shaylee Smith named ‘Wildcat of the Week’

Shaylee Smith, a sophomore at Ponca City Senior High School, has been selected as the “Wildcat of the Week” for the week of Jan. 21, 2019.

“Shaylee sets a perfect example of dedication by giving 110 percent of her best effort in all she is involved in,” Superintendent Shelley Arrott said.  “She plays high school and league soccer, serves as a Wildcat football student manager, is very involved with FFA, maintains good grades, and supports her fellow Wildcats by attending all school functions that do not conflict with her own busy schedule.  Shaylee demonstrates drive, commitment, determination and self-confidence and is very deserving of this award.”

Po-Hi Principal Thad Dilbeck and Superintendent Arrott presented Shaylee a “Wildcat of the Week” T-shirt from Boss Custom T-shirts, a Wildcat window decal, and a burger basket gift certificate from Ground Round.

The “Wildcat of the Week” Award is sponsored this year by Heather Cannon Honda. The award is for a deserving high school student who follows the characteristics of the Wildcat Way — Work Ethic, Improvement, Leadership, Discipline, Compete, Attitude, and Teamwork. These characteristics may be exhibited in any setting and is open to all Ponca City High School students.

Several Ponca City patrons are involved in making the “Wildcat of the Week” a reality. These partners include: Tina Christian, Sen. Bill Coleman – TEAM Radio, Heather Cannon – Heather Cannon Honda, Ground Round, and Tyndall Dentistry.

Each week a new “Wildcat of the Week” will be selected from the nominations of TEAM Radio listeners and viewers. Winners will receive a free meal from Ground Round and a T-shirt from Boss Custom Tees. PCPS will make the presentation weekly at Po-Hi.
