Congratulations to our 1/30/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. We are closing up this month in talking about Perseverance for Character Strong. Think about something you are good at. Maybe you’re good at packing your own lunch, drawing pictures, or helping with a younger sibling. You weren’t born with these skills. You learned them through practice and Perseverance. Now think about something new you’d like to learn. You’re just a little practice and Perseverance away from being good at something new! Give it a try! Keep up the hard work RVE Cardinals. It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka

Students in Mrs Argetsinger's science class have been studying genetics. Today they extracted DNA from strawberries! Many took their samples home as necklaces or keychains.

Congratulations to our 1/27/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Perseverance is pushing yourself through challenges and obstacles. Challenges and obstacles are things that are hard to do or that get in our way, like a tough math problem or shooting a basket on a windy day. That is why Perseverance is not easy. It’s finding ways to work through the challenges and sometimes we just need to keep trying and sometimes we need to try a different strategy and sometimes we need to ask for help. Keep up the hard work RVE Cardinals. It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka
