District Receives PBIS Awards
The Cardinal Local School District has received their two bronze awards from the Ohio PBIS Network and State Support Team 4. The plaques were given out during a conference on Dec. 1 in Wilmington, Ohio. District administrators also presented on Cardinal’s PBIS implementation during the conference.
Jordak Elementary School and Cardinal Middle School are each being recognized for their successful implementation of the positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) within their buildings. The schools are just two of nine in Lake and Geauga counties to receive recognition.
“PBIS has been a huge part of our daily routine within all of the buildings at Cardinal,” says PBIS coach Sherry Peters. “It’s still a relatively new concept within the district, this is the third year we’ve been working to implement and our efforts seem to be paying off – it’s really catching on with students and staff, so this is really exciting to be recognized for our work in this area.”
According to the Ohio PBIS Network, bronze level schools can document evidence of a comprehensive system of behavioral supports at the first level. The essential elements in this level are implemented with fidelity and consistency across all school settings. Bronze level schools consistently utilized data-based problem solving in existing team structures. These schools could produce evidence of organized team meeting notes and data based program planning.
Kiwanis Donates To Key Club
The Cardinal High School Key Club would like to thank the East Geauga Kiwanis Club for its extremely generous donation of $500 to support the group’s effort to put together Thanksgiving food baskets for families in need. The donation follows a presentation from Key Club president Dawn S. and vice president Megan T. to the Kiwanis about the Key Club’s holiday service projects.
Key Club is a high school service club sponsored by the East Geauga Kiwanis Club. The groups work hand in hand to help serve others. The group is also planning to provide items to families for Christmas. Thanks for everyone’s generosity.
Gift Wrapping Fundraiser
The Cardinal High School Relay For Life team is holding a gift wrapping fundraiser. Gift wrapping will be done for donations during the boys home basketball game Dec. 20. Wrapping services will be provided from 5-8 p.m. and will be located near the CHS gym.
There will be some wrapping paper provided, but guests are more than welcome to bring their own paper. If a gift box is needed for a present to be wrapped, please bring a box.
