Congratulations to #proudcardinal senior Nick Abromaitis! Nick earned the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan TEAM FIRST Award.

Our 6th grade classroom library had a glow up recently! Thanks to a grant from the Four County Community Foundation, and other donors, Mrs. Howell was able to purchase a book shelf, a scanner to check books in and out, and over 100 high interest books for her students to read. The Four County Community Foundation serves portions of Lapeer, St. Clair, Macomb, and Oakland County for more than 37 years! Thank you for your support! #proudcardinal
