Hello Cardinal Elementary Families, Just a reminder that today is a virtual learning day. Please reach out to your teacher(s) if you have questions. Packets went home on January 18th. Virtual learning days will count as attendance days for your child so remember to have students return the "must do" assignments on Day 1 of their virtual learning packet to their classroom teacher when we return to school. Warm regards, Sara Bennis Cardinal Elementary Principal

Temps were too cold to be outside for recess, but the 2nd graders didn't mind staying in and playing some new activities with their friends!

Mrs. Johnson's class loves practicing their math facts on 99math. They have set a goal to reach as a class and have been so close to reaching it! They love a good challenge!
