The Cascade Music Department would like to invite you to our annual High School/Junior High School Christmas concert. The concert will be held Monday, December 14, 2015, in the North Gym at 7:00 pm. The students have been working hard on their holiday tunes and are anxious to present them to you, the audience! Once again this year, the members of Tuba Christmas will be our guests and will provide you with familiar Christmas music played on tubas and euphoniums. Look closely, there may be some familiar student faces in the group! They will play for a few minutes prior to the concert (so come early!) and will play between groups to give them time to set up. Please tell your neighbors and friends and we'll see you Monday, December 14 at 7:00 pm!
A couple months ago our School Board gave their support to a project of modernizing the sports records and memorabilia in the Commons area. We've installed a large screen HDTV that is providing information and ongoing activity around the school, and digitally present sports and academic achievements throughout the years. After much hard work formatting and configuring the display, it's up and running now. There's also a picture library that we'll add to, and a link where we can show the TV/Media Production class efforts they are uploading to Vimeo. Comments welcomed, and may be directed to Mr. Dobbins at the school.
We'd like wish our staff, students, parents, and community a wonderful Thanksgiving. The school will be closed Wednesday through Friday for the Thanksgiving break. If you need access during this time (and don't have a key), please try calling the school at 468-9383 in case there are school personnel in the building who can answer the phone. Otherwise, we'll see you all back here Monday, November 30th, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Our 3rd Annual Turkey Bingo was held Thursday night in the Commons. We had about 75 people, ages 5 to 95 attend, and EVERY household won a turkey to take home. We supplemented the games with tickets used to draw 10 additional prizes who got $15 gift cards and one $50 gift card. We love giving back to community. Special thanks to Liz Grimes for helping coordinate the concessions, Mrs. Strobbe for the dee-lish cookies, and to all those who attended.
