So much creativity! #everydaylearning

During every Wednesday late start, our staff works to improve things for our students. Whether it's collaborating on teaching standards, planning to meet student needs, or professional training, this is important time.

This week, our Cascade Junior High School and Cascade High School staff were in a training from Marion County on preventing drugs and addiction in students.

There was a new sheriff in town at Cloverdale Elementary on Thursday—Calder Dawson is principal for the day!

He won this privilege at a recent fundraiser.

When asked about his hopes for accomplishments, he wants to try and get a one hour recess for his friends.

Apparently, Principal Bradley says there may be a few limitations to his powers...but it was still a great day!

It's School Lunch Hero Day on Friday, but since Friday is conferences, we honored our Nutrition staff members on Thursday! They give our students the fuel to do well in school, and we are grateful!

The district honored them with a catered lunch that they didn't have to make. Thank you to our staff!

Our students do so many cool things, and Thursday night's Showcase was the chance to let them shine!

Different academic classes showed what they do, along with the arts, choir, jazz band, drama and much more. There was a giant health fair in the auxiliary gym, food trucks, a mariachi band, and that's just a few things!

Our Principals lead so well! Supporting students and staff, connecting with parents and community, they do it all. We are grateful!
