As this edition of the Howler hits the website, we are close to starting Spring Break. Time is certainly flying this year and once we return our kids will be starting the last third of their school year. I know from past experience that those last few months fly by, but the great news is that we still have a lot planned at the school and our PTSA will continue to avidly support the school and our children’s experiences through the school year.

Back by popular demand, our Talent Show will be Thursday & Friday, April 25-26th. This will be our second year hosting this event and tons of fun was had by all so even if you’re not participating in the show, please mark your calendars and come see all the amazing talent Cascade Ridge has to offer.

As you have heard throughout the year, we owe our ongoing success to the many volunteers who provide their time, energy, and passion to ensuring great programs and opportunities for our kids and community. Every year we recognize volunteers who go above and beyond and who eagerly and tirelessly say “yes” for the benefit of others through the PTSA Golden Acorn awards. Many congratulations and thanks to our recent winners: Ann Brooks, Helen DiMeco, Angie Lukens, Bona Park, and Nichole Wengert! If you see any of our winners around, please give them a hearty “congratulations” and “thank you”!

Speaking of great volunteers, what amazing events and programs we had in March: Book Fair, Spelling Bee, Eager Reader, Science Fair, and Fine Arts night!! We hope you were able to make time in your busy schedules to participate in at least one of the events—hopefully all of them!! Thanks again to all of our volunteers who made these events possible.

Also this month, we will have the third of our four planned General Membership meetings on Friday, April 19th right after drop-off. This is another important meeting to have a great turnout as we will be electing our Board members for the next school year and voting on changes to our standing rules. We have a strong slate of nominees who will continue to lead our PTSA in the next school year and it is important to recognize them and show our support through attendance at the meeting. We hope to see you there!

Finally, don’t forget that the annual ISF Nourish Every Mind luncheon us coming up on Thursday, May 9th. We would love to have a great turnout from the Cascade Ridge Community to show all of Issaquah how much we really care about our kids. More information for this can be found on our PTSA site and also at http://isfdn.org/. To reserve a table with our Cascade Ridge parents, please contact me directly.

Here’s hoping for a great spring for everyone!
