Please see the updated version of our Cardinal Carnival plans. Hope you can join us on this day. The new flyer has designated times for grade level rotations if you were planning to take time off work. Please contact Cardinal Elementary if you have any questions.
During Kid Town last week first graders had a great time spending their money they earned. They also got a chance to work together as they took turns running the different stores.
Hello Cardinal Elementary Families,
I can't believe that we are entering our last month of school for the 2023-2024 school year. This week's CWNK news report (https://youtu.be/YSf56798GDM?si=9pn0Rw8FkLtllkhR) is filled with some exciting events as we wrap up the end of the year. I would also like to share some things that are happening toward the end of the month that parents are invited to attend. We look forward to celebrating the many accomplishments of our students and staff as we say goodbye for the summer break.
Highlights include:
-Cardinal Carnival - May 29th from 12:45-2:15 (The Carnival will be on the Cardinal blacktop and we will use grade level rotations. TK/Kindergarten: 12:45-1:25, 1st Grade: 1:25 - 2:00, 2nd Grade: 2:00-2:45) at Cardinal Elementary
-Cardinal Track and Field (See times in the flyer for grade levels) at the High School Track
