Dear Cardinal Families,
I am writing to express our deepest gratitude to Rustic Love for their generous donation to our school's food pantry. Their support has been instrumental in ensuring that our students have access to nutritious meals, which are essential for their academic success and overall well-being.
We understand that every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Rustic Love’s generosity has not only provided food for our students but has also shown them that they are valued members of our community. This kindness fosters a sense of belonging and support that is crucial for their growth and development.
On behalf of our students, staff, and families, we extend our sincere thanks to Rustic Love. Their kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your child succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your child stays home if they are sick. Visit our website for information on when to keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their teacher so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with your school's public health staff.
Read about how families can help form good attendance habits. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
