December Huskie Pride Winners

Cardinal Local Schools is announcing their Huskie Pride Winners for the month of December. These Huskie Pups from Jordak Elementary School and Cardinal Intermediate School were caught “red-pawed” teaching, modeling and practicing appropriate behaviors through the schools’ Positive Behavior Interventions Support (PBIS). Using PBIS, the schools are helping students grow into productive, respectful, involved, determined, empathetic citizens.

Every month, students work on a new behavior word. The December PRIDE word was “respectful.” Students and the PRIDE team put together a video and song and created posters to demonstrate the appropriate and inappropriate ways of practicing respectful behavior.

“These elements were crucial in really getting the respectful behavior points across and really resonated with students. Huskie Pride is becoming an important achievement to our students and our schools,” says Kelly Bearer, principal of Jordak Elementary School.

All students were recognized at the Jan. 12 school board meeting.
