What a day, what a day! It all started with cupcake decorating after tornado sirens and storms, then ended with cupcake sharing and two groups of incredible 4-year-old graduates! 🎓🥰🌈🧁☔️
As students sang today, “WE DID IT!”!!! 🤩
Thank you to Maquoketa FFA and Cassie Miller for the gorgeous flowers we were able to gift to families. 🌸











Students are resuming their normal schedule. Thank you to our bus drivers, and all staff for keeping kids safe and calm.

Maquoketa Families,
We are implementing all of our tornado protocols until the tornado warning passes. If your student has not been picked up on the bus we will wait until after the storm passes.

Congratulations to our afternoon preschool graduates at Cardinal Elementary!
