A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

This has been quite a first week.

Our spirits have soared since returning to campus. It has been wonderful seeing your children. Daily, I am able to glance into classrooms and observe singing, dancing, reading and writing among our ranks.

We began last Friday by welcoming 80% of our students back to campus. Today I am thrilled to report over 90% are back on campus. We miss our remote learners, but will be very happy to welcome them back when the time comes.

Many of you have asked for ways to support our community while off campus, and there is one thing I believe is most important at this time: Prayer. Our amazing PTO has tied ribbons to the Waving Gate. Please come by after school hours or on the weekend, grab a ribbon, and write a prayer or message of encouragement to our students, faculty and/or staff and drop by to re - tie your ribbon to the gate. The value of these intentions is indescribable, and I truly feel God's presence on campus more than ever when I see the ribbons being re-tied with your beautiful messages.

Thank you for a wonderful first week, Cardinal Families. I continue to pray for all those in the path of Hurricane Laura, and we are quite thankful for a safe and dry return to school tomorrow. As a reminder, school will be open Friday, 8/28 beginning normal school hours and dismissing early.

Yours in Service,

Bernadette Drabek, M Ed
Principal
Class of 1975
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PTO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

As we begin a new school year, one that is certainly different than we have seen in the past, we wanted to start a “Words of Affirmation Wall” for our teachers and staff in addition to the ribbons. The point of the wall is to show that while we cannot physically be on campus to support our school, we are here for them and we are thankful for all they are doing!
 
Please send your words of wisdom, prayer, special quote, etc. to WeLoveSRL2020@gmail.com. PTO will monitor the account, print the messages and have them posted in the breezeway for all teachers, staff and students to enjoy! Also, we welcome special drawings or pictures as well! Feel free to send those in with your child to school and they will be given to the office to add to the display.

Thank you Cardinal Families, for all of your support!
