Speaker emphasizes respect, work ethic, positive attitude
George Wilson is no stranger to giving back to his community. The Buffalo Bills safety supports his hometown of Paducah by hosting a sports camp for kids, giving away Bills’ tickets and creating a leadership retreat for Paducah Middle School students — just to name a few ways.
Wilson also speaks at Paducah schools, which is what he did on Tuesday afternoon at Clark Elementary. He encouraged the fifth-grade audience — about 85 students — to focus on three personal attributes: attitude, respect and work ethic.
Patty Thompson, a fifth-grade teacher at Clark, taught Wilson in middle school and said she is proud of the time he puts into giving back to the community and local schools. His message, she said, directly benefits the outlook of her students.
