Today’s band concert was a success. Many of these students began their band career last year during virtual learning. To see them perform in person and to hear their progress is heartwarming. Cardinal Forest ES Felicia Drake

Our Mighty Red Birds on the News Crew are amazing! They run the production under the guidance of Ms. Ulrich and Mrs. Hawk. It was super impressive but the thing I loved the most was watching them reflect afterwards. FCPS POG in action!

We enjoyed our field trip to the National Gallery of Art, where we explored POG attributes by being Creative and Critical Thinkers to examine a deeper understanding of modern art in different mediums. Cardinal Forest ES Felicia Drake

Time to get those creative pumpkins going. We can’t wait to see what our students come up with.

Today my Ss participated in Musical Peer Review to share their memoirs by stopping at the closest desk when the music stopped, read the writing, and left positive notes for the writer. Bonus, they received positive notes. They loved it! CFESRedBirds6th Cardinal Forest ES Felicia Drake
