2nd graders enjoyed a field trip to the YMCA! We spent our day swimming and playing the pool. Enjoyed the beautiful weather with a picnic outside. Basketball, volleyball, and soccer were some of the favorite activities in the gym.
Please join us at Cardinal Elementary on the Carnival Day (May 29th) for a BBQ in the cafeteria as well. The flyer will have more information about cost and grade level eating times. Hope you can join us!
