It’s been a fabulous beginning to the school year and I hope all of your students have gotten back into the swing of things.

I want to thank the community for your continued passion and support of the school through your support of the PTSA. Hopefully everyone has found our website and our online “First Day Packet” process to be an easy one and a huge improvement to previous years where there were mounds of paperwork to sort through and complete. Although we encouraged a quick response to completing this information online, if you haven’t done so yet, please do it right away at www.cascaderidgeptsa.org. The “First Day Packet” link is down along the left hand side of the page. You’ll be glad you did!!

Like last year, we will continue to join forces with the school for weekly communications with the Coyote Connection. In the “Connection”, you’ll find current information that is relevant to both school and PTSA activities. We will continue to publish our monthly Howler at the beginning of each month with more detailed articles, so don’t forget to check our “News” link on our website to ensure you stay up-to-date on all the many ongoing PTSA activities or signup to receive it directly in your email inbox. In addition, when you go to the website, you’ll see key announcements on the front page to keep you “in the know”!

Speaking of staying up-to-date, people are often surprised to hear of the many school programs and events that are funded by the PTSA so I try to communicate often about this. Here are just a sampling of programs the PTSA is proud to support: Arts & Sciences Enrichment and Teacher Grants where the teachers, individually, and at grade levels, determine how to best spend their allotment to expand and enrich our kids’ learning opportunities; expanded reading and drama programs; Reflections; Destination Imagination; Science Fair; First Lego League; Eager Reader; Caring Through Sharing; Festival of Cultures; Talent Show; Fine Arts Night; Safety Patrol; Math Olympiad; Spelling Bee; and Dad’s Day on the Playground.

Finally, we are just a couple of weeks away from our only active fundraising event of the year, our Walkathon and Fall Festival. This year
