Today's Bengal Way Call of the Day goes to Ryan Hitsman! Ryan was not nominated by only one staff member but two! Ryan shows so much Balance and Leadership on a daily basis! He helped out a sub with technology without a second thought and also took it upon himself to ask for help on an ELA assignment before school even started one morning. Way to be proactive Ryan! Definitely the definition of "Living the #bengalstrong Way"!
