Principal's Monthly Coffee

I would like to invite all parents to the monthly Principal's Coffee. These coffees are held every third Wednesday of every month from 9 am to 10:00 AM in the Cascade Teacher's Lounge. All adult families members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Also, any future parents are also invited to attend the Coffee to learn more about all the great things going on at Cascade Elementary. The agenda will be open, I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have, present current initiatives, and listen to your feedback.

*In the event of inclement weather, or schools are closed these meetings will be cancelled.
