BadgerBlog #2

Last week we all seemed to still be recovering from all the fun that was had during Homecoming week. Also with the much needed moisture we were getting the Elementary students were buzzing with energy! 

On Thursday our Sophomores and Seniors had the amazing opportunity to go listen to a Holocaust Survivor speak at Power High School. The students were all touched and spoke very highly of the experience as they came back into the building.

Thursday continued to be a busy day as our Varsity football game was moved from Friday night to Thursday due to a shortage of Officials. Our boys took on the #1 team in Class C football. Even though the outcome didn’t turn out as we would have liked we came out swinging! After the first quarter we were tied 14-14. Flint Creek school definitely is a great football team and eventually pulled ahead of us. Our boys should be so proud of their performance, they showed teamwork and resilience. 

At the same time we had our girls in the gym playing Heart Butte for Volleyball. It was a clean sweep for our Lady Badgers winning all 6 games. 

Our Badger Cub PeeWee Football club hosted a jamboree on Saturday, 8 teams showed up and played 4 games each. They kids all looked soaked but also looked like they were having a blast. Keep your eye on these up and coming Badgers, they will be a force. 

This week we had Commissioner Don Ryan visit our HS Senior class and talk to them about what the commissioners office does and his political experiences. 

This Friday our Seniors will play their last football game under the hometown lights. Hope to have a good crowd to cheer them and the rest of the Varsity team on as we take on The Seeley-Swan Blackhawks.

Saturday our girls are home again against Sunburst for Varsity Volleyball. It will just be one game against Sunburst starting at 1:00pm. 

Next Tuesday, October 11th the Cascade PTSA will hold a regular meeting in the school library at 4pm. Come meet the new board and discuss upcoming events such as Trunk or Treat on Halloween!

BlogPost#1 Homecoming Week!

I am honored to bring you all the happenings of Cascade Public Schools, straight from the front office.

We are off to an awesome year, “normal” seems to be the word being used lately. Things finally feel like we are getting back into the “New Normal” as we are able to move forward with fun activities and events. 

Last week was a busy one with lots of Homecoming Festivities. Student’s decorated hallways, floats and themselves. We had some great outfits for the themed days: MooMoo Monday; TV Tuesday; Wacky Wednesday & Tropical Thursday. Our Volleyball team got us off to a great start to HoCo22 by beating Augusta in 3 games! The hometown crowd was loud and proud! We had a special treat after the first set. Mrs. Pepos’s 2nd grade class performed the school song in American Sign Language, they did such a great job, way to go Mrs. Pepos! 

On Thursday our Seniors went to the Great Falls College for a College/Job Fair. They got to talk with recruiters from schools all over the state along with potential employers and military recruiters. 

Friday was a busy day, we started the parade off at 2:00p with a great processional turn out and lots of community members lining the streets. After the parade we had our first annual Homecoming Carnival. Patrons got to pick-a-duck, try and eat a hotdog on a string, cake walk, plinko and much more! We had such a great time a little bear tried to join us but was veered away by our great Volunteer Fire Dept. along with our local FWP guys.  

Our 3rd Grade class got us fired up before the Varsity game with their performance to the school song! Great choreography Mrs. Sanders! 

The Varsity boys put on quite a show defeating the Choteau Bulldogs 40-12. During halftime Seniors Kayleen McKamey & James Lewis were crowned Homecoming King and Queen 2022. Then Liz Edmundson had to get down and kiss a pig! Thank you all who contributed to the Student Council Fundraiser this year and way to be a good sport Liz! 

Friday night ended with a High school Homecoming dance! The kids were excited to bring back this tradition and all had a great time celebrating the wins and winding down the week. 

We finished off Homecoming week on Saturday, we were happy to host our 3rd annual Cascade Invitational Cross Country meet.  We had approximately 50 JH/HS XC runners. Trent Lane set the tone for the Cascade team by finishing 1st place in the JH Boys heat, Lyndon Magnuson finished in 10th place. For our JH girls we filled out the top 10 places with Emma Edmundson coming in 2nd place, Allie Park in 3rd place, Lindie Cumming in 4th and Reece Hastings in 8th place! We had two HS students competing this weekend with Cody Park placing 2nd place for the Boys and Maialen placing 1st.

This week FFA is off to Ruby Valley for Livestock Judging. Volleyball take on Heart Butte on Thursday and Football game got changed to Thursday as well vs. Flint Creek (Drummond-Philipsburg)
