Please see the flyer for information about our Holiday Sing! Just a friendly reminder, if you are planning to pick-up your child after the concert you will need to come to the building they attend to sign them out. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter as we work to assure all students safely return to the buildings.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Bennis and Mrs. Recker
We would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you enjoy the holiday doing all the things that bring you joy! Thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us! Don't forget to help us celebrate the holiday season with some fun dress up days in December!
Warm regards,
Sara Bennis & Cardinal Staff

Evelyn Bollinger does an amazing of putting first things first. She gets her work done on time before she goes to reading and math work bins. Evelyn also gets all dressed for recess before she goes outside. Keep up the great work Evelyn!

Harley Wagg does an amazing job when transitioning and gets to the next thing on our schedule promptly. He does a great job of completing his work before moving to our math and reading tubs. He also asks clarifying questions about his work if he fully doesn't understand it.
Payten Reuter is great at taking charge and being responsible at school. She knows what needs to be done and is always helping her peers get their work done. We are proud of Payten!
