Our Cardinal Corner update comes from, Andy Ourada, Activities and Community Education Director!
Congratulations to our 1/15/25 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Perseverance is what helps us to learn new things and reach goals. Michael Jordan who has often been referred to as one of the ‘greatest of all time’ basketball players said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” This is what we work on through Character Strong and our challenges each day at Reede Gray Elementary. Great job to our students we are so proud of them!! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka

Congratulations to our 1/10/25 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. As we kick off into the New Year we have a new monthly focus on Perseverance. It means pushing yourself to work through challenges and obstacles. It is what happens to you when you keep trying even when things get tough. When you can’t figure out a problem, then you try to solve it another way until you get it right–thats Perseverance. We are so proud of our students this week!! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka
