Thank you Officer Johnson

Our school resource officer, Debbie Johnson was promoted to Sergeant in the Longview Police Department in December. Her son pins her Sergeant's badge on her during the ceremony. With her promotion she now has new responsibilities with the police department so we will miss her. Sgt. Johnson has been our school resource officer for the past couple of years. Her connection with Cascade goes all the way back to the days she was a student at Cascade. Sgt. Johnson replacement is Officer Dawn Taylor.

A baby blanket for the homeless...or what is right with middle school students?

Sixth grader Ashley Griffin spends part of her lunch time with Cascade teacher Digna Artiles and other students who knit and crochet for the homeless. Here Ashley displays her first crocheted project.  This baby blanket, which she completed in a week, will go a homeless family.  Ashley gives a lot of credit to her grandmother who taught her how to crochet and “everything I know.”.  Now Ashley is constantly crocheting Christmas presents and says she will use these skills for the rest of her life. Way to go Ashley..and Digna and Grandma!

Coats, coats and more coats...

The Coat Drive ended on October 30th. Our goal was 500 coats. At the time of press we had 515. During the Coat Drive we raffled off free ICEE cards from Burger King to the students that brought coats in. The winning class gets a donut party! At the time of print Miss VanSon’s class was in the lead with 130 coats. Mr. Edmondson's class was second with 93 coats. The coats that were brought in will be donated to the Salvation Army for distribution to people who are need of coats this winter. By Gabrielle Heim
