Congratulations to our readers on this wonderful achievement, and thank you to the families who were able to attend and for your continued support from home. We are also grateful for our staff for supporting students with their goal setting and holding us all to high expectations. Together, we're building a community of strong, confident readers! 📚🍦Next Friday, March 20th, will be our literacy event where all Cardinal families are invited to come for Cookies and Books. We will also provide information about the Summer Reading Program at the Maquoketa Library and ideas for reading with kids at home. Hope to see you there!
