Cardinal Elementary School

Tasha porter: Such a great school. Everyone is so helpful and so inspiring to my son Don Timmer. Thank you so much I am so proud to have your school be the foundation of my young son's growth and development. You have done a fantastic job on teaching him the basic skills. I am looking forward to coming back in April of this year and seeing the school and all the friendly staff. Thank you so much.. I miss my son so much, while I am a way in Florida but I am relieved to know he is in a fine school. Thank you again. Tasha Porter Don Timmer's mom:)
