Tuesdays with Mr. Knoll
A message from Superintendent Knoll
Dear Canfield Community,
As we move further into October, there is so much to celebrate across Canfield Local Schools! From our students’ accomplishments in the classroom and on the playing field to the strong partnerships we share with our families and community, it is a great time to be a Cardinal.
Election Day is fast approaching. To help address questions that have been asked and provide clear, factual information, we have refreshed the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section on our website. I encourage anyone seeking additional information about the proposal and its potential impact on district operations to review this resource.
Congratulations to our Lady Cards Golf Team on an outstanding performance at the state tournament! We are incredibly proud of these student-athletes and the dedication, teamwork, and determination they demonstrated throughout the season.
Thank you to all the families who participated in parent-teacher conferences last week. These conversations are an important part of building strong relationships between home and school and ensuring our students have the support they need to succeed. We appreciate your time, involvement, and continued partnership.
I also want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make Homecoming weekend such a success. From the festivities and decorations to the activities that brought our students and community together, it was a wonderful celebration of Cardinal spirit. Thank you to our staff, student council, families, volunteers and everyone who helped create such memorable experiences for our students.
Finally, a reminder that Friday is Pink Day at Canfield Local Schools! We invite everyone to wear pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in support of the efforts of our students in the Teen Health & Medical Society. Thank you to these students for helping raise awareness and encouraging our school community to come together for an important cause.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools. When we work together, we make Canfield stronger. We are One Canfield!
#GoCardinals!
Frequently Asked Questions Updated
We have updated the Frequently Asked Questions section on the Canfield Local Schools website to address questions we have heard from our community—both online and during our recent public events.
The FAQ includes answers to many of the questions we have received about the district’s finances, the November operating tax, how revenue is used, potential impacts on district operations, facilities, state funding, and more.
Our goal is to provide clear, factual information and make it easier for residents to find answers to their questions.
Visit the Frequently Asked Questions page on our website to learn more.
Our eighth-grade band students took the field to perform alongside the Canfield Pride Marching Band at the Louisville game! It was a special opportunity for these young musicians to experience the excitement of Friday night football, perform with their older Cardinal counterparts and be part of a proud Canfield tradition. Thank you to our band directors and everyone who helps inspire the next generation of Cardinal musicians!
The gym buzzed with energy last week as our stellar seventh- and eighth-grade girls took on some athletic staff members in the annual Staff vs. Student Volleyball Game!
This fun PBIS celebration featured a concession stand, plenty of cheering, and lots of school spirit! Shout-out to 7th-grader Gavin Haus for singing the National Anthem!
TRADITIONS AT CHS CREATE MEMORIES
Some of the best parts of high school are the traditions students look forward to year after year! Last week, our chemistry students brought science to life with experiments for some of our elementary students, Spanish students learned to salsa dance with Mrs. Grohovsky, and our school community came together for an enthusiastic clap-out to celebrate our Lady Cards Golf Team. These special moments connect students across grade levels, celebrate achievement, and create lasting memories—all part of what makes being a Cardinal so special! 🖤
Our annual Fall Pep Rally brought plenty of energy and Cardinal pride to the high school! Students celebrated Spirit Week, recognized our seniors and enjoyed fun games and friendly competition among the classes. With the marching band and cheerleaders bringing the spirit, it was a great reminder of what makes our school community special. Go Cards! 🖤
SRO Karis spent time at Hilltop and C.H. Campbell fingerprinting our students as part of a child identification program.
Programs like this help families create emergency identification kits that can include a child’s fingerprints, photo, and physical identifying characteristics. Having this information readily available can provide parents and authorities with an immediate reference if a child ever becomes lost or is abducted.
Our Cardinals enjoyed learning how law enforcement uses fingerprints while creating an important safety resource for their families.
C.H. Campbell recently held its annual Career Day.
Our students learned about a variety of careers and heard firsthand from the professionals who make a difference in our community.
Thank you to all our Career Day participants for sharing your time, talents, and experiences with our students, and to our PTA for sponsoring this special event!
What a great way to help our Cardinals start thinking about the possibilities ahead!
