BYU's Cougar Strong program came to present to the fourth grade.  Bob and Cindy Wakefield run the program and were able to bring an athlete from the BYU Women's Track and Field team.  They taught the fourth grade about being Cougar Strong which includes mentally, psychically and socially strong.  Students were lucky to receive a Cougar Strong t-shirt and a poster for each fourth grade class.  Thank you Wakefields and BYU!
