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
