Happy 2024 from TK!!!!!

Today we recognized our High Hopes (students who are working hard and making gains on their academic achievements) and Count On Me (students who are showing good leadership skills and being a friend to others) awards at Cardinal Elementary. Throughout December we focused on Habit 3: Put First Things First. Starting in January we will focus on Habit 4: Think Win-Win!

2nd graders had a jam packed day! We began our day by visiting Kindergartens. We played a game, read a story, and gave them some reindeer food to take home. We had our holiday party, complete with snacks, juice, crafts, Secret Santa gift exchange, games, and a movie. Everyone had so much fun!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Merry Christmas from Second Grade 🎄!
