Happy Spring Break, Cascade students, staff, and families!
Recently, the Icicle River Middle School 6th grade choir had the opportunity to perform at the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) Small Schools Conference! Students did a great job under the direction of teacher Mr. Wall. Thank you to our communities for your support of our choir program!

The Wenatchee River Institute (WRI) has received funding specifically designated to provide outdoor programming for Alpine Lakes Elementary next year. This incredible opportunity was made possible by an Alpine Lakes family who recognized the funding gap and generously stepped up to fill it. Thanks to their support, every student at Alpine Lakes will have the chance to visit the woods, meadows, and shoreline of the Wenatchee River Institute for up to four half-days per classroom next year. This will allow our students to learn and explore in their own community, creating unforgettable outdoor experiences and fostering a deeper connection with nature. Thank you!
Students at PD had a snack attack today and got to read books with little flashlights!

Cascade School District passed both levies thanks to YOU, our community! With the funds that come to the district through voter-approved levies, we can continue offering our students the programs and services they need. THANK YOU!
On the ballot, the Cascade School District is proposing two
replacement levies to voters to replace current levies set to expire in
December 2025. These levies are not new taxes but a continuation of the
existing levies approved by voters in 2021. The renewal of these levies will
not increase the overall tax rate and will continue to support vital programs
and services for students.
Please remember to vote by February 11. Learn more about how levy dollars are
making a difference in our community on our website:
