Kindergartners at Turner Elementary had a scavenger hunt sound game to build literacy skills. They found a picture on the playground, and then spoke and wrote the sound and the letter. Developing readers!

How do you manage money in life?

Students at Cascade High School experienced "Bite of Reality" this week, a life simulation put on by MAPS Credit Union. Each student got a budget of money, and then had to make their way around the room to different stations where they paid rent and utilities, bought clothes and food, and chose some fun things to buy too.

But just like life, they got surprised by emergencies and unexpected expenses, and had to figure out how to adjust.

This real life learning is part of Mr. Medlock's class, and it took a team to make it all happen. Staff members from the fiscal department and IT volunteered to be part of the stations, and we were able to borrow iPads from the Willamette Education Service District that were needed to run the simulation.

Thanks to MAPS and everyone who made this possible for our students!

Our Cascade High School choir, the Cascadians, took first place in the league competition! They have qualified and are headed to state!

We are so proud of our singers' hard work!

The 4th graders at Cloverdale Elementary got to tour the Oregon State Capitol Building last week. The kids were so well-behaved that they received a huge compliment from the tour guide! Way to represent Cloverdale and Cascade!

With the Bond on the May 19 ballot, the tax rate is expected to maintain at the same rate. And if it passes, it will provide $30 million to bring updates, renovations, and repairs to our buildings. If it passes, we will also receive an additional $10 million from a state OSCIM grant.
