Johannesburg 2nd graders got to experience an excellent presentation about amazing animal adaptations in Michigan's woods. This interactive presentation explored what plants and animals need to survive by using animal mounts, photos, and stories. They investigated the adaptations of animals such as owls, grouse, otters, fox, and beaver. This visit from Mackinac State Historic Parks was paid for by the sale of raffle tickets. Thanks to everyone who supported us!

Johannesburg K-8 Families,
I am writing to formally announce that I will be retiring at the end of this school year. It has been a true honor to serve this incredible Cardinal family. I am grateful for your trust, support, and partnership over the years. Together, we have made a lasting difference in the lives of our students, and I will always cherish that.
I am also pleased to share that Mr. Dan Serba will be filling the K-8 Principal role. I have full confidence in his leadership and know he will continue to support our students, staff, and families with care and dedication.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this special community. Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools will always hold a place in my heart.

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.
