Thank Yous

A big thank you to Mrs. Whitehall, Mrs. Ellington, Ms. Conway and Mrs. Johnston who invited the iJAG students into their classrooms to read with their elementary students during the last part of November. Another big thank you to the elementary teachers and staff for allowing the iJAG students to come over and assist kids shopping in the Penguin Patch.

Hunter is such an amazing young man. He made this little guy's day (see photo above) by agreeing to be his reading buddy! I am so proud of this kid for getting out of his comfort zone and reading with the elementary students.

From our first interaction with the staff at Cardinal schools, we felt at home. The entire staff is amazing and we feel that we have a trusted partner in our children’s education. The greatest testament to their success is that our kids love going to school. There is nothing more welcoming as a parent than to have a school that you trust to take care of the most precious thing in your life. Cardinal School District does just that.
