the theme is “Coyote Crazy Wild West Walkathon.” If you haven’t already, please mark your calendar for October 26th right after school. Our committee is hard at work pulling together an exciting event, and you will see some of our typical entertaining activities that have become a mainstay for our Walkathon, as well as some new and exciting surprises!! The Walkathon is a great opportunity for the kids to get actively involved in fundraising and we would love to have 100% participation of our families this year. In addition, this is a great family event so plan to spend your Friday with us and enjoy dinner and some exciting entertainment. This is a huge community undertaking and one where we can all be a part of something big! There will more information including participation permission, donation, and food on our website at www.cascaderidgeptsa.org in the coming days so stay tuned! Please plan to donate and participate in all the fun. I hope to see all of you there!

  • We had a nice turn out for our meeting on September 25th and, if you were there, you know that we covered a lot of important information and business. If you were unable to attend, here’s a quick recap of what you missed:
  • We reviewed the PTSA Mission Statement, Standing Rules, and Goals and Objectives and voted to approve them for 2012-13.
  • We reviewed the previous year’s financial results and noted a great year for the organization.
  • We discussed current year plans with recent financial updates and voted to approve the 2012-13 budget.
  • We voted for Laura Fortner to take on our open Secretary position.
  • We had an important report on our Walkathon coming up quickly on October 26th.
  • We showcased multiple upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.
  • Our Issaquah Schools Foundation (ISF) representatives, Erica Fewel and Cathia Geller, along with board member Stephen Maffett, described the mission of the ISF: to serve to bridge the increasing gap between state funding and the dollars our schools need. Many key programs have been implemented in the district through funding from ISF and there is a two-pronged function between PTSA and ISF that is key to providing our kids with important educational opportunities. The “All in for Kids Campaign” runs from August to mid-November and everyone is encouraged to participate. Donations can be made at www.isfdn.org

We are asking that every family visit cascaderidgeptsa.org and complete the online forms as part of the First Day Packet process. This is a very important step as the new school year gets underway, so please help us out by doing this promptly. It will enable you to receive our newsletters by email, make sure your information is correct in the Student Directory, and will grant you access to all areas of the website.
