Retirements:

Ms. Naval is retiring after a lifetime of educating students. She has a love of reading. Many of her former students return each year to let her know how much they love reading and to say thank you for helping them to gains love. She loves to teach science and to bring learning alive through themed units. Two of the students favorites are the Harry Potter time and her spy detective theme.

Mr. Greene has taught in multiple grade levels. During his lifetime in education he is always prepared and up for new challenges. He has a love of reading and math. Over the years one of the goals he has is to instill in his kids that reading is a tool that you can enjoy using for your entire life. He takes personal interest in each of his students and challenges them to reach stretch and become better individuals.

Both of these teachers will be missed at Cascade. Over the course of their careers they have each positively helped many students. As we approach the end of the year we will send out information on how to celebrate with each of them.

Each month we spotlight one of our teachers in a school assembly. Last month Brittany Maughan our PE teacher was our teacher who was spotlighted. Mrs. Maughn or as the students call her “Coach M” is always so positive and happy. She always greets the students with a big smile and kind words. Students can feel her love for them. She is passionate about what she teaches and provides fun and worthwhile lessons for all students and they are always excited to go to her class. She teaches our students how to play PE games and make it fun, n matter the ability level. We are lucky to have her here at Cascade!

 Dear Parents,

We are asking for some help with our handicap parking spots. From an outside view it looks like they are empty most of the time, but due to the nature of these spots they serve an important function at our school. These spots are used each day to help parents who have children with handicaps gain easier access to our school building. These are not for regular school pick up and drop off. By keeping these spots available for our patrons with handicaps we are ensuring that these students have a safer experience when being picked up or dropped off at school.

STEM FAIR: This week we sent home information for our STEM FAIR. It is open for all Cascade students to participate in. Only 5th and 5th graders will be allowed to move on to the district and the state levels. Attached is additional information on what our STEM FAIR will be.
