We love celebrating and honoring our staff! Each trimester, we recognize staff members who have given exceptional service. Here is our Employee Recognition for the second trimester.

Celebrate these wonderful staff members with us!

Lezlie, Head Cook at Aumsville Elementary School, brings incredible joy and warmth to her kitchen, where she is dearly loved by her students. Her hard work and steady, positive presence keep everything running smoothly.

Whether she’s working one-on-one to provide vital reading support or logging extra hours planning school family events, Andrea consistently goes above and beyond. Her passion for helping students grow and bringing our community together through engaging activities is truly inspiring. We appreciate you so much Andrea – thank you for your hard work and heart!

Mrs. Maben is the ultimate teacher! As an experienced teacher in our district, she has a deep pool of resources and an amazing servant mentality. She is always willing to help out a colleague, volunteer to help on a committee, or plan our next spirit week. Her heart is always for kids, our school, and our community. We are proud she is a member of our AES family!

Mrs. K does so much more than support students through challenging behavior; she teaches foundational skills our students need to navigate the world. She has the amazing ability to see the “why” behind a student’s actions and respond with patience and care. She is a vital member of our Foundations B team and our entire school!

Brianna is a consummate professional who continually propels her student’s learning forward. She possesses stellar classroom management skills and has implemented multiple tools for optimal student success.

Selina is a beloved staff member who always pitches in to assist wherever and whenever needed. She forms incredible relationships with kids and always gives her all, with a smile on her face! She is a top-notch math assistant who helps make math not only understandable, but also fun. Selina is the best of the best, and we love her!

She is a young teacher with LOTS of energy! She has attended 3 different AVID staff developments, coordinated 2 food drives, taken and organized multiple college visits for her AVID group and has coached volleyball the past 2 years!!!

Elaine is personable and works hard. She has recently taken on extra with our current AA being out!

In just a year and a half, Stuart has rebuilt a strong DECA program at Cascade. Last month, he took 11 students to compete at DECA state. He took 4 students to the national DECA convention in Florida. He has started two new businesses within CHS. He has done so much! We are so grateful for the additional opportunities that he has created for our students!

Layla is invaluable to Cascade High School. She does it all. She runs the library, organizes state testing, runs clubs after school, and manages students coming and going all day long. Her impact is tremendous and we are very grateful for her efforts!

Congratulations to Cascade High School girls basketball! 4th in state!

Cloverdale Elementary had a fun "Dads 'n Lads" event: the Pinewood Derby! These boys, dads, grandpas, uncles, and more put a lot of thought and time into their derby cars.

They held races for speed and voted on most creative cars. A big shout-out to the Majors, Gramzow's, Mr. Dyer, and Mrs. Augsburger for helping with this event! You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.

Earlier this month, Turner Elementary celebrated the great work of their custodian with "Mr. K Day!"

We have so many staff members who go the extra mile to support our students, and it's good to celebrate our staff! You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.

There's a new class at Cascade High School this trimester: Life Strategy and Management.

Mr. Medlock is helping students gain practical skills for life. On Wednesday, students learned how to iron, so they will be ready to dress professionally for things like job interviews!

Did you know our buildings have the history of generations?

Cascade’s schools have been carefully maintained and cared for over many years. That stewardship has allowed these buildings to continue serving students and the community far beyond their original design life. At the same time, even well-maintained buildings eventually require major repairs, system replacements, and accessibility improvements as roofs, electrical systems, and mechanical equipment age.

The Cascade Family Resource Center is offering a free oil painting workshop on Thursday, April 9 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Taught by Cascade High School teacher David Schletty, this class will be limited to the first 20 people who sign up at this link.
