Thanks to Johannesburg Cardinal Club and MiLeap, students had the opportunity to extend their day of learning from cartoonist, Duane Abel by attending an after-school drawing workshop. Each student received a sketch book and pencil. While Duane was teaching how to draw the character he was also explaining to them that when things are hard not to give up. To stay positive, practice, and keep trying.

To celebrate March Reading Month, every student in the Johannesburg Preschool through 5th grade will be able to pick a free book. This has been made possible by the MiLeap Out of School Time Grant and Johannesburg Cardinal Club.

Varsity softball players visited Lewiston Elementary and shared a book with students!

Johannesburg Cardinal Club had so much fun celebrating St. Patricks day with Mrs. Jackie from Orsa Credit Union. They practiced their graphing, counting, and adding with lucky charms cereal. We discussed pot of gold (saving money ) and what that could look like for them.

First graders enjoyed having Mrs. Hansen come in and read her favorite books to them.

Students are enjoying cartoonist, Duane Abel, showcasing his talent through storytelling and drawing while bringing a positive message about character and the possibilities of future.
