Midnight Madness
The Cardinal High School football team held its first practice of the year from midnight to 2 a.m. on Aug. 1, the official day to start practice for the upcoming fall season.
Graduate Receives Scholarship
Congratulations go to 2015 Cardinal graduate Lucas F. He is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities.
Lucas was the football team’s videographer for three years and was an integral part of the program despite never donning a helmet. Head football coach Eric Cardinal calls Lucas a very worthy choice for the scholarship.
“Perhaps Lucas’s finest hour in football came the night of last season’s Berkshire game when, through sheer ingenuity, he ‘fixed’ our video camera,” says Cardinal. “If you see Lucas, ask him about it and he will wax eloquent on the achievement.”
Lucas was also a letter winner in baseball and had many academic achievements at Cardinal as well. Lucas plans to continue his education at the University of Akron in the fall.
Maintenance Work Continues
Cardinal Schools maintenance crews are hard at work this summer preparing the four buildings for the upcoming year. School grounds have been spruced up, floors have been waxed, carpets have been cleaned and fresh coats of paint have been applied in every building.
At the high school, the distance learning classroom renovations are nearly complete; crews have replaced old ceiling tiles and repairs are underway on the roof. Wider bus lanes have been paved at the middle school and elementary school and the drainage project at the middle school is the final stages.
“We have a lot of items to get through on our summer maintenance checklist,” says Maintenance Supervisor Brian Kelly. “Our crews have worked hard and the grounds and the buildings look great they’ll be ready to welcome students and staff back in a couple of weeks.”
