The Cardinal Connection: CPES News Delivered to You

Dear Cardinal Families, 

As we wrap up another wonderful month filled with joy and learning, we want to wish you and your family a happy and restful winter break!

This month has been a whirlwind of excitement, from our heartwarming concerts to festive classroom celebrations and the magical Book Bonanza in the library. We're so grateful for your support in making these events special for our students.

Now, it's time to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones. We encourage you to spend quality time together, read books, play games, and simply enjoy each other's company.

With this in mind, the Cunningham Park office will be closed on Monday, December 23, 2024 and reopen on Monday, January 6, 2025.

We look forward to seeing you all refreshed and ready to learn when school resumes on Monday, January 6, 2025! 

Warmly, 

Allison Hoak, Principal

Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
