Thank You For the Support
The Cardinal Local School District would like to express its sincere appreciation to everyone who supported the district and students during summer fundraisers hosted by the athletic and band boosters and through the Joe Peters Memorial Pig Roast on July 15.
Revenue generated from all of these events was enough to cover pay-to-participate fees for all 2017 fall activities. This includes all middle school and high school sports, marching band, flagline, Cardinaires and the fall play.
The community’s support is invaluable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
New Board Member Sworn In
At their regular meeting on June 14, the Cardinal Board of Education voted 4-0 to appoint Barb Rayburn to the seat vacated by Greg McClain. Rayburn was officially sworn into her seat at the beginning of the meeting.
“I am very humbled and honored to have this experience and look forward to working with district officials and fellow board members to continue the progress we’ve made here for our students and families,” Rayburn says.
Rayburn is active in school activities and organizations, including PTA/PTO and Music Boosters, where she was just elected vice president for the 2017-18 school year. She also serves as chair of the district’s levy committee.
Rayburn will serve out the remainder of McClain’s term, which ends this year. She will have to run for election in November if she wants to remain on the board.
Cardinal To Host Band Night
The Cardinal Local School District invites the community to Band Night July 27. The marching band will take Richard Moss Field at 7 p.m. to showcase its work from band camp. It promises to be an exciting way to kick off the start of a new school year.
K-4 Class Lists To Be Posted
Jordak Elementary School class lists for the 2017-18 school year will be posted on the doors to the school on Aug. 4. Parents and students are welcome to come by anytime to see which teacher their child has for the upcoming year. The school looks forward to great things from the pups this year.
Recycled Economics Projects
Prior to the end of school, third-grade students in Miss Barb Tropf’s and Mrs. Melissa Cardinal’s homerooms did a recycled economics project. They used recycled materials to create a product to “sell,” even creating a logo and slogan to go with it.
Students in Mrs. Chris Hiller’s and Mr. Mike Topalian’s classes were given a “salary” for the week, and after paying for their expenses, they used the leftover money to make purchases at the recycled economics store.
Some students were so impressed with the products that they spent all of their money on one item. Only one student, Emily M., left the store with money. Students selling recycled products kept track of their sales and counted their money to determine how much money they had raised at the end of the day. After they paid their expenses, they figured out their net profit. Mercedes B. and Madison F. were the top sellers.
