Today was all about learning how to stay safe in everyday situations!

Our Safety Town kids explored gun safety, poison prevention, and water safety — gaining valuable knowledge through hands-on activities and guided discussions. 🧠👏

These important lessons help empower our young learners to make smart choices and stay safe at home and in the community.

We’re so proud of all their hard work this week! 🐾❤️💛

🎉 Congratulations on Your Retirement from Cardinal! 🎉 Please join us in celebrating our amazing retirees as they wrap up their time as proud Huskies! 🐾❤️ We’re so grateful for their years of dedication, passion, and service to the Cardinal community. As they begin this exciting new chapter, here’s what they had to say as they reflected on their time at Cardinal and what they’re most looking forward to in retirement: 👤 Tally Hostetler - 17 years 🗨️ "What I will miss the most at Cardinal is all of the long lasting friendships that I have made over the years." 🎯 Looking forward to: “I am so looking forward to spending more time with my family, play dates with my precious grandchildren and hopefully lots of traveling!" 👤 Debbie Delbo - 20.5 years 🗨️ “What I will miss the most at Cardinal is working with my coworkers and driving the kids." 🎯 Looking forward to: "Relaxation, gardening and hopefully traveling." 👤 Sharon Stotts - 26 years 🗨️ "What I will miss the most at Cardinal are the people. It's common to hear people comment on the teachers that impacted their lives in some way, but we get so many blessings in return. I've had great co-workers and made friends without whom I couldn't have done this job. There are students who will always have a place in my heart and parents and families who welcomed and supported me through some tough times and lots of people who were steady and reliable and who I knew I could always count on. I will miss all of you." 🎯 Looking forward to: "I'm looking forward to not having a perpetual to-do list, to pursuing my hobbies and maybe developing some new ones, to staying up late and sleeping in, and to spending time with my own family." 👤 Diane Baumgartner - 30 years 🗨️ "What I will miss the most at Cardinal is the staff, many of whom I'm lucky to have as friends. 🎯 Looking forward to: "First, maybe trying to sleep past 5:00 am!! I'm also looking forward to spending time with family and friends and traveling with my husband, Scott." 👤 Sharon Hanzel - 24 years
