Vote now to help Cascade High School's Art Classroom get a huge makeover! 

Teacher Lillian Roth applied for a $15,000 room makeover grant from Selco Credit Union, and is one of 9 finalists! 3 of the 9 will win, and it all depends on voting. Can you take a second now to help us out?

The voting only allows one vote per IP address, so rather than vote from wifi at work or a public wifi, use your cellular data so that the vote is sure to count.

The Deadline is Saturday, Nov. 7! Go to this link, and look for Cascade High School (not Cascades Academy.)

It's a decorated space to remember and honor family members, loved ones, and friends who have passed. Ms. Everitt's Cascade Junior High School Spanish class made one in the doorway of her classroom to honor Dia de los Muertos, the day of the dead.

Some of the ones remembered are beloved Cascade teachers.

Huge thanks to the Turner community and the Turner Parent Club! 

The Turner Elementary jogathon was a gigantic success, and the proceeds will help students this year in so many ways!

Thank you for all the support!

At Cloverdale Elementary last week, the October Shamrock Showcase was hosted by Ms.Sorensen’s class!

They performed poetry and shared how many movies and book chapters show integrity, the character trait of the month. Then the school highlighted students who have worked hard exhibiting these traits with an award, and did a minute-to-win-it activity!

On Wednesday, two afterschool clubs met at Aumsville Elementary: Panther Club and News Crew!

Panther Club is a leadership group. Students have to apply, and get their parent, a teacher, and someone else in the building to sign for their support. They work on assemblies and other ways to make a difference in the school This week, they learned what they will do to support the Thanksgiving Food Drive.

News Club is the group that produces the student newspaper. They learn writing and interview skills, and then work throughout the year producing the paper.

Each of these groups meets twice a month, and each teaches skills and builds relationships that make a difference!

On November 4th, the Cascade High School choirs attended the Western Oregon Fall Choir Festival. Both choirs performed three songs, sat in on a sight reading clinic and performed a group song with hundreds of other singers from the area.

Students had a great day and walked away with great comments from both adjudicators! Great things are happening in the Cascade choir department!

Come hear them for yourself at the concert on November 19th at 7:00 in the HS auditorium! And see more pictures on our Facebook page.

You can help our Cascade Adult Transition Program! 

Fill the bus with your bottles and cans to recycle on Wednesday, Nov. 18!

We are teaming up with Andégo Internships Abroad to welcome a small group of Spanish teens (8th & 10th graders) in Oregon from Gredos Schools in Madrid, Spain for about 4 weeks this Winter. 

Andégo is currently seeking host families for these visitors who are enthusiastic about meeting a new friend from a different language and culture. 

Hosting a Spanish teen is a wonderful cross-cultural opportunity for any family who might be interested. Knowledge of Spanish is not a requirement to host, neither is having a teen in the home. All families are welcome to apply! Students arrive on Thursday, January 14th and depart on Friday, February 12th from PDX International Airport in Portland, OR. 

Please email Tia at tia@andego.org with any inquiries or apply to host a Spanish student by clicking on this link: Apply to Host.

Thank you!
