A huge thank you to Kelly Huber for organizing and executing the 3rd Annual Spelling Bee! Kelly stepped up to chair this popular event, even though this is her first year at Cascade Ridge and she had never been part of the bee! Kelly’s amazing promotion of this year’s bee led to record school participation and even a guest announcer from KING TV/channel 5, Zahid Arab. Thank you so much Kelly!
Thank you Melanie Kusmik for launching the new Scratch Club that began a few weeks ago. It is people like Melanie who are passionate about ideas that they feel would benefit our students that keep Cascade Ridge programs exciting and models for other elementary schools in our district! We look forward to expanding this club next year.
Thank you to Peter Wengert, aka Science Pete, for chairing the Science Fair for the 3rd year in a row! Under his visionary leadership, the Science Fair continues to be one of the most talked about and well attended events at Cascade Ridge. Thank you Pete for the countless hours spent organizing this event and making it such a success! A special thank you to his committee: Jaycee Cooper, Stephen Rozmiarek, Mary Jo Webb, Rajeev Goel, Angie Lukens, Neena Rana, Krista Gale, Nichole Wengert, and Grace Lee.
The 2013 Science Fair would not have come together without an amazing team of individuals who have been working behind the scenes for months in preparation for the event! Anyone who attended this year's fair recognized the tremendous amount of effort it took to pull off such a great day and night for our young scientists. We'd like to thank all of the parents, teachers, staff, students, exhibitors and all other volunteers for their help!
Many thanks to Michelle Brady and Grace Lee for organizing our Book Fair! The many hours each of them put into the fair resulted in a very successful event, with excited kids walking out with new books to enjoy. And thank you also to our librarian, Ms. Moore, for graciously letting us take over the library for a week. Thank you to all the Book Fair Volunteers- we couldn’t do this without YOU!
Kudos to Kristin Hunter for chairing our Library volunteers for the year!! Ms. Moore gets amazing help in the Library thanks to all your hard work!!
And to our PTSA Board Nominating Committee: Ann Brooks, Erinn Chapman, Helen DiMeco, Juli Kubicki, and Lauri Kinnan, THANK YOU for pulling together a great slate for the next school year’s Board!
Way to go, Golden Acorn Committee (Jaycee Cooper, Angie Lukens, and Mary Jo Webb) and everyone who submitted nominations for the award. We have so many worthy candidates in the community, and thankfully we have a great scoring process that helps to make a subjective review more objective. Thank you for your participation in the process!
Thank you 5th grade service project Coordinators Jaycee Cooper and Pam Gross, and all the volunteers who helped organize the 5th graders as they packed all those meals! Awesome!
