Thank you Mrs Long! 10/28/2026

Happy Principal Appreciation Month to our incredible principal, Mrs. Long! 🦅✨
To celebrate, students from across our Nest chose a special word from the heart to describe what Mrs. Long means to them. Here is how our students see her:
✨ Smart • Caring • Supportive • Amazing • Joyful • Great • Welcoming • Fantastic • Unique • Empathetic • Enthusiastic • Nice • Proud • GOAT! 🐐❤️
Thank you, Mrs. Long, for leading our Nest with so much heart, dedication, and joy every single day. We are so lucky to have you!

Thank you Mrs Long! Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

First they mummified her... then they taped her to the wall! 🎉

Mr. Shields' 4th grade class earned BOTH: they climbed to the top rung of our Soar to Success reward ladder (Mummify an Admin!) and won Tape Watch by raising the most in the whole school during the final week.

THANK YOU to every family, grandparent, neighbor, and friend who gave. Together you raised $25,853 for Cardinal Forest! ❤️

And a huge thank-you to Mrs. Long. You really stuck with us! 🩶
