CARDINAL UPDATES - HEALTH DAY
Health Day is just around the corner and we need some volunteers! Health Day is Friday, 9/29 and we will start right after morning drop off at 8am. We hope to be done in about 2 hours with vision screening for the entire school. Please consider helping this year. Super easy, no experience needed, and it absolutely counts as family volunteer hours. If you can help please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.
