CMS Future City Team
The Cardinal Middle School eighth-grade Future City team placed fifth overall at the Future City Competition in Columbus on Jan. 20. It is the highest finish from any Cardinal team since Future City started in 2014. Led by teacher Shaun Spence, eighth-graders Chloe D., Justine B. and Lauren S. represented the Huskies this year, along with some assistance from sixth-grader Jackson P.
Using SimCity software, the group had to design their city and address this year’s engineering challenge of waste management. The trio had to write an essay explaining their response and when they were selected as a top finisher, they had to give a presentation to a panel of VIP judges and answer questions about their design.
In addition to their fifth place overall finish, they also received an honorable mention for Most Environmentally Friendly. Their work along with the work of other students in Future City Club was on display during a special showcase on Jan. 22.

Jump Rope For Heart
Jordak Elementary School students are once again jumping at the chance to help the American Cancer Society. On Jan. 31, students attended a special assembly to get them excited for the Jump Rope for Heart campaign. Students learned about the importance of good heart health and how they can help others by raising money for the campaign.
The event has become an annual tradition in February as pups see how much good they can do for others while supporting heart health awareness.
