It's time to say...Goodbye. Tomorrow, these five kiddos, as well as the NC Class of 2024, turn a new page in their chapter of life and leave our building as alumni. Tonight, I share with you the FINAL episode of season #1 of The Cardinal Chirp

Thank you for all of your support this school year! We truly could not have done what we did without your viewership. I am incredibly proud of this group and I appreciate the work that they put in to make our first ever school podcast a success. Watch it until the end and give them all of the praise and congratulations in the comment section that they deserve! Oh, and grab some more tissues for those last couple of minutes in this one.

A special thank you to all their past educators and teachers who submitted videos for this project. T-4 days until graduation day for the class of 2024!

And yes, senior parents, grab the tissues.

We just recorded the last ever podcast episode for Season 1 of The Cardinal Chirp . They walked out and *said* they didn't cry, but the looks on their faces told me that maybe (just maybe) their hearts did? I am confident that this one is probably going to be a tear-jerker. I'm so proud of this crew and my others who fly under the radar and avoid the camera. 🥹

When will this episode air? Friday, May 17th!
And guess what else? We have one other episode releases for you this week, too - but I will share that whenever we get there. Thanks for always supporting this crew...❤️🖤❤️🖤

Mrs. Cox received a phone call from her brother last week that Maverick really wanted to be on Clay County's #1 podcast...so we made it happen!

Happy Tuesday, Chirp Family!
This week on the podcast, we are sharing Episode #22 with you! There is a *small twist* though...this was our episode that was supposed to launch last week and then got lost in all of the hustle and bustle of pre-spring break! (Yes, that's a thing!) This episode, Paris and Jesse give an update on our sports teams and talk about all things EASTER! Sure, maybe the official day was a couple of days ago, but we still have to post it...or else it never happened! 😉 You can watch at the link below and as always, thanks for listening to !

Oh and P.S...to make up for it, we'll share something really exciting with you on Friday; but that's all I can say for now!! 🤩

As a teacher, I couldn't be more proud of this episode that Paris and Jesse produced. I think you can visibly see so much GROWTH from where they started and this episode is one of my favorites. I love seeing their personalities shine and admire how they take my criticism and the criticism from others and work to always make the next episode better. It was really good to see them back together this week, right where we started. As always, thanks for listening + please take the time to watch and share as I think you will really enjoy!
