  Bobcat Corner is the Cent's of Pride store that Wilson's Creek and Wanda Gray helps sponsor in Bissett Elementary. The store was created to provide students with the opportunity to spend dollars that they have earned through good behavior.
  
  Every day students at Bissett Elementary have the opportunity to earn a behavior dollar. Twice a month they are given time to shop in the store with the money that they have earned from their teachers.
  
  This program has grown over the last year. Currently there are four elementary schools and one middle school that have Cents of Pride stores with others on the waiting list.
  
  How can you get involved in this great program, you ask? There are three ways you can be involved: donating items, donating your time or by spreading the word about the store. Read more ...!
