Big news! Last week we cut the ribbon on our newly updated library, and our students and staff are in love with the new space! Huge thanks to the Cass County Community Foundation (furniture grant), LCSC (new carpet), and the volunteers at P-Squared Contracting (who painted the space) for making this possible!

We can’t wait to see where this year’s Cardinal Connection journey takes us! Together, we are building a School Family where every Cardinal feels safe, loved, connected, and ready to soar. 🪶

Check out what our incredible staff put together for our little Cardinals! ❤️🖤

Math review + a little friendly competition!

After their math quiz, Mrs. Strayer's class put their skills to the test with Musical Math Review! When the music stopped, students solved the problem at their desk before moving to the next one. So much learning, laughter, and teamwork happening in the classroom!
