Congratulations to our 10/15/25 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Part of Responsibility is taking action and understanding the impact of our choices. We can be part of the solution with our words and actions. 2 ways that we can grow in Responsibility is to 1. Manage our time-meaning getting important things done first and 2. Organize your things. We are so proud of our students. Keep up the GREAT work! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Be Responsible #wacinyapicawaun
