Thank you Cascade Ridge community! Our Wild and Wacky Walkathon was a fantastic success, and it couldn’t have been so without all the hard work of our AMAZING Committee who brought an entirely new theme and ideas to fruition. Because of the generosity and dedication of our families, students, staff, sponsors, and volunteers, we met our fundraising goal! With the financial success of our primary fundraiser, we can now implement the planned funding for this year.  Congratulations and thank you to everyone who was involved!

As we hope you have realized, our website is overflowing with information related to all the great things our very involved PTSA community provides to our school. We are often asked what programs our funds support, and the list is large and ever-expanding. Nearly 95% of all our expenses are spent on programs, grants, and awards that directly benefit our children. The main expenses this year’s WAT income will allow us to support are as follows:

  • Staff Grants – ~$17K
  • K – 5 Drama – ~$8K
  • Art & Science Enrichment Fund – ~$9K
  • Instructional Support – ~$12K
  • Cafeteria and Library Table Grants – ~$5K
  • Art & Science Docent, Science Fair, & Fine Arts Night - ~$9K
  • Other Educational & Safety Support programs including: Eager Reader, Destination Imagination,  Reflections, Math Club, Safety Patrol, Spelling & Geography Bees – ~$6K
  • Community Events & Programs including: Caring Through Sharing, Parent Play Day, Great Kids,  Birthday Celebrations for the students, Talent Show, Fifth Grade End-of-Year Celebrations and activities,  Parent & Child Education, Staff Appreciation – ~$6K

We should all be proud of everything this great community has accomplished together and take pride  in the opportunities it provides for our children.

Happy November!
