Howdy, Cardinal Families!

On Friday, September 25th, we're working 9 to 5, Dolly style! In honor of the one and only Dolly Parton, students are invited to show their Dolly spirit by dressing country-style, wearing pink, adding a little sparkle and rhinestone shine, or coming in their favorite Western wear.

However your child chooses to join the fun, we can't wait to celebrate a day filled with big dreams, bright smiles, and a whole lot of Cardinal spirit! We look forward to seeing our Caring Cardinals shine as we celebrate the joy of reading, learning, and believing that anything is possible.
