Teacher Wins Grant
Cardinal High School teacher Kim Richards was selected for one of the 2022 California Casualty music and arts grants. Her application was one of hundreds received across the country.
Mrs. Richards and Cardinal Schools are the recipients of a certificate and a $250 music and arts grant from California Casualty. The California Casualty Music & Arts Grant was established to provide support for K-12 public schools negatively impacted by reduced budgets. Partnering with education associations for over 70 years, California Casualty understands the importance of music and arts education for children.
District Wide Training
Cardinal middle and high school teachers spent Oct. 14 collaborating during Keys to Literacy training. Keys to Literacy encompasses literacy teacher training, curriculum, ongoing coaching and materials to educators across the country.
Keys to Literacy trained teachers learn the research-based skills necessary to effectively teach reading and writing in all subjects across all grades. It is part of the district’s focus on literacy across all subject areas.
Trunk Or Treat
Jordak Elementary School’s annual Trunk or Treat event was bigger and better than ever in 2022. With over 30 trunks open to pass out candy, no one went home empty handed. Parent and staff volunteers were joined by Cardinal groups including the transportation department, Cardinal Silks flag line, Cardinal Huskies Wrestling, Cardinal Drama Club and the Cardinal Levy Committee. The Middlefield fire and police departments also joined in the fun.
The PTO thanks Blue Jay Orchards for donating apples for the hanging apple game as well as Twisted Dish for coming to provide dinner for the families. The PTO also thanks all the parents and students who sent in candy, donated their time passing out candy, donated their talent at face painting and helped with making and running games and organizing the event. It is an extraordinary event for the whole Cardinal community.
