As usual, the school year has flown by and I find myself wondering where the time went. Thankfully, I also find that as I look back on the school year, I am gratified in knowing that our PTSA has filled the year with many positive accomplishments and impacts for our school and children. Of course, these accomplishments are due to the continued and passionate involvement of the many dedicated families and staff of our school and I continue to value and appreciate everyone who contributes in so many ways to our success. Each and every one of you who has contributed in ANY way is appreciated. A special thank you goes out to those who chaired events and who served on the Board this year and a special welcome to our incoming board and those who have already agreed to chair events for the upcoming year. If you are interested in becoming involved in a PTSA program for next year, please contact our incoming president, Ann Brooks, ann_e_brooks@yahoo.com for more information.

As our last few days of school fly by, don’t forget the last few events that will fill the days!! This week our 5th graders are enjoying Camp Warm Beach and their last few days before moving on to middle school. We are proud of every 5th grader and we congratulate you on completion of an important milestone. Enjoy your ceremony and celebration on June 17th.

Here’s to a great and restful summer for all. We then look forward to seeing everyone in the Fall. Don’t forget that school will start AFTER Labor Day on Wednesday, September 4th. Be sure to stay in touch through our August communications and via our website at www.cascaderidgeptsa.org. We are planning to continue our tradition of having a quick Popsicle Social immediately following “Meet the Teacher” on Tuesday, September 3rd. We hope to see you there!

Respectfully,
Deanne King, PTSA President
