It was a perfect day for our end of year Track and Field day. Mrs. Grahams class loves to jump and run.
Track and Field Day 2025 was a success!! Mrs. Trusty's first graders had so much fun!! A great big thank you to our favorite PE teacher, Mr. Schipper, for organizing such a great day. Also, thank you for teaching us to work hard and have good sportsmanship all year long! 😊
2nd Grade students also enjoyed a fun Field Day for Cardinal Elementary. Thank you Mr. Schipper for organizing a fun day. Thank you to the HS helpers for leading the way. Finally thank you to Fareway for the bottle water. Definitely came in handy! 😀
Check out our TK/kindergarten Track and Field Day for Cardinal Elementary. Thank you Patent Lighthouse Team for the yummy popsicles for all grade levels!
Thank you to all those that were able to join us for Donuts with Grown-Ups! What a wonderful start to our Track and Field Day!
Cardinal Elementary first graders had a fun morning of movement as we showed our good sportsmanship at the Track and Field Day events!
Today we had our final "Lunch with the Law" experience of the year with our kindergarten students. Malia DenHerder, Trae Kane Jr., and Declan Johnson enjoyed a meal at the Maquoketa DQ! Maquoketa Police Department, Assistant Chief Jason Thomson and School Resource Officer James Tenney rewarded these students with a yummy meal and ice cream dessert after they were nominated by classroom teachers for being great role models for others at Cardinal Elementary! As part of this honor these students got to select a teacher that makes a positive IMPACT on their learning. Well deserved, Mrs. Liz Wawro, Mrs. Stacy Owen, and Mrs. Whitney Richardson! We are proud of you all! ❤️👏 Thank you to the Maquoketa Police Department for providing this opportunity for our students and staff!
Shout Out to Hurstville Interpretive Center for hosting 1st Grade Field.
In Cardinal Clubs, Mrs. Trusty and Ms. Jammie's club had fun with Habit #8 - Find Your Voice. We made illustrations about ourselves with sidewalk chalk!!
Shout out to our amazing music teacher, Mrs. Wright, and our art teacher, Mrs. Shearer for a joyful music performance and creative art display! Thank you to all students, staff, and families who were able to attend! It was hard not to participate in this one as we clapped along with the excitement! 😀
Shout out the Hurstville Interpretive Center for hosting 1st grade last week. Mrs. Grahams class had a great time.

Doors will open at 6:00 pm and we would like to have students there by 6:00 pm if possible. The concert will begin at 6:30 PM. The art show will be displayed in the entrance and looks FABULOUS as well. Please make time to see the art projects!

Congratulations to our Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw award winners for High Hopes (students and staff meeting academic goals) and Count on Me (students and staff meeting leadership goals and being good role models for others). We are very proud of you all. Way to make sure you sharpen your heart, mind, body, and spirit! 😀
Change of plans for first grade's field trip today took us to the Hurstville Interpretive Center and Mrs. Trusty's class had a blast! We knew so much about animals and habitats from our previous learning from our Animals and Habitats unit in Knowledge, we were able to demonstrate our understanding and have fun while doing it. What a fantastic day! Thanks to Jackson County Conservation for hosting us. ❤️
