Thank You to our student presenters from Cardinal who shared about their leadership jobs at the board meeting. Thank you also to parents for bringing their students and to our staff who support student leadership! Also, thank you to our MS and HS teams for sharing math data and how they are supporting student instruction/growth in math! Proud of all the work our staff and students are doing for kids!





It's not looking like a white Christmas is heading our way, but at least we had one fun day in the snow at Cardinal Elementary!







Sock Fundraiser Update: If you ordered socks from the fundraiser we are hoping to have them here by the end of the day tomorrow. I will keep you updated as to when they arrive and are ready for pick-up.

Thank You to Maquoketa Kiwanis who has sponsored Leader In Me at Briggs Elementary for a couple of years. The first year they provided all students with program binders. This week students and teachers explained how they use the binders and more about Leader in Me.
