This morning, Bus 11 during their Elementary route, was involved in an accident while stopped at a stop. We are thankful to report that all students and the driver are safe. They were evaluated by local emergency personnel on scene and then transferred to another bus to continue safely to school.

All parents of students on the bus have been contacted. We appreciate the quick response of our emergency service and staff.

March is National Nutrition Month, a time to highlight the importance of healthy eating habits for our students and families. 🍎πŸ₯—πŸ₯›

Did you know?
1. In 2019, the National School Lunch Program provided almost 22 million children with free or low-cost lunches daily, and the School Breakfast Program gave over 12 million children free or low-cost breakfasts daily.
2. Despite challenges like bus schedules and early classes, schools are finding creative ways to increase breakfast participation, like grab-and-go options and serving breakfast in classrooms.
3. Family Costs: The weekly expense for school meals surpasses $67, considering the cumulative costs, for families with three school-aged children.
4. Portion sizes are designed to meet 1/3 of the recommended daily calorie allowance, with no limit on second helpings of fruits or vegetables. This allows students to fill up on a variety of nutritious foods.
5. Cafeteria staff often begin their day before dawn to start food preparation, ensuring meals are ready for lunchtime.

At Cardinal Local Schools, we are committed to making sure every student has access to healthy meals during the school day. A special thank you to our incredible cafeteria and nutrition staff who work hard every day to prepare and serve meals that keep our students fueled and ready to learn. Your dedication truly makes a difference for our school community! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Families who may qualify are encouraged to apply for Free or Reduced-Price Meals. Applying is quick and confidential.

How to apply:
1️⃣ Visit the Nutrition Services page at cardinalschools.org
2️⃣ Complete the Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application

For additional details about our meal programs, nutrition resources, and eligibility guidelines, please visit the Nutrition Services page on our website.

Healthy students are better prepared to learn, grow, and succeed. ❀

The Courtroom in the Classroom program brings real appellate court proceedings to high schools throughout the five-county jurisdiction, giving students a firsthand look at the judicial process in action.

Today, members of Mr. Kruse’s Government class had the opportunity to participate in this unique learning experience at Berkshire Local Schools. It was a great chance for students to see how the court system works beyond the classroom!
