🐾 Cougar Sighting Alert 🐾
Well, folks, Lyman Elementary School's wildlife club just got a new member - a real wild cougar! 🐆 While we didn't have that on our bingo card, safety is no game.
Our dedicated staff is putting on their best "big cat" impression, keeping a close eye during recess. If your little one (or middle/high school student) hangs out in this animal-loving area while waiting for the bus or walking to school, please be extra cautious!
And if you happen to spot our elusive feline friend, remember: don't panic, don't play hide-and-seek, and definitely don't try to pet it. 🙅♂️ Instead, stand tall, make noise, and back away slowly. 🌿🦁 #SafetyFirstLyman #CougarWatch2023 🚫🏃♂️
