High waters at Cardwell School

With just a few days left for students and staff, high waters in late May made things interesting at Cardwell School.

Jefferson County Commissioner Leonard Wortman made two visits to the school and said while the conditions were not terrible, the building was surrounded by water and most of the playground equipment was in the water.

Cardwell Board of Trustees member Dawn Lewton said she was not aware of any damages.

In her weekly For Your Information column, Cardwell resident Arcylle Shaw reported kids enjoying the water on the playground and said she wonders how many times the school has flooded in its 100 years.
