🎈 Liftoff at Cascade! 🎈
Today, our fifth graders launched the hot air balloons they’ve been working on for over a month! This tradition has always been a special send-off as they move on to middle school. While this year's class will remain at Cascade for one more year, we proudly continued the celebration. Their hard work, creativity, and excitement made for a memorable and inspiring day!
CASCADE FIELD DAY 2024-25
What a splash-tastic day at Cascade Elementary! 💦☀️
Field Day was full of fun and laughter with water-themed events like the water cup relay, sponge toss, parachute fun, noodle tag, and so much more! Huge thanks to the Marysville Fire Department for coming out and helping everyone cool down – the kids loved it! 🚒💧
A perfect way to wrap up a fantastic day. 🏃♂️🌈 #FieldDayFun #CascadeElementary #MakingMemories
Now that’s what we call a sweet reward! The top 10 fundraising students got the honor to pie the principal in the face. 🥧 Ms. Strong was sweet and not at all crusty about it.

Two Marysville Schools Earn State Recognition

These honors highlight progress in:

GRANTS GIVEN TO CASCADE ELEMENTARY
Cascade Elementary was awarded grant money from Waste Management to adopt reusable items for our daily operations, demonstrating to the students the importance of making conscious choices for the planet. For the health room, we were given an ice machine and reusable icepacks and for the staff lounge, plates, bowls and silverware to
eliminate waste.
From the Washington State Traffic Commission, Cascade Elementary was awarded grant money to purchase new safety patrol vests, baseball caps for next year that will provide essential protection and improving their overall situational awareness. two safety cones to further improve the visibility of our patrol students during busy times and Patrol badges for identification.
We are so grateful for WM and WSTC for their support of our students!
Cascade Families,
We are gathering some items for our Garden Club, and we would greatly appreciate your help! We’ve put together a wish list here:
👉 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1IMLQS1M91F90?ref_=wl_share
The items on this list do not need to be new—if you have any of them at home in clean, usable condition and are no longer using them, we’d love to take them off your hands.
We are also in need of raised bed soil, compost, and potting soil. I have three round beds that need to be set up, but I can’t get started until we have enough soil and compost—any contributions in that area would be a huge help!
Thank you so much for your continued support and generosity!
Warmly, Mrs. Panico
