We recently introduced the CARDINALS Award for students in grades 7-12. Each month, this award will recognize a student who exemplifies a specific character trait that represents what it is to be a Cardinal. For January, the focus was Integrity, and we’re proud to announce that Joshua Laning is our very first recipient! Joshua consistently does the right thing, even when no one is watching. Congratulations and keep up the great work!



Congratulations to our January students of the month! Abel Obering (8th), Sadie Goven (10th, and Elizabeth Neumiller (11th) have been doing excellent work both in the classroom and in their activities. Each one has been a great model of what it is to be a Cardinals!




On Friday, February 14 school will be dismiss at 1:55 with buses running at 2:00.
