In October we have several opportunties to celebrate this community aspect of our school. Please join us at one or all of these events!
October 8th:
VIP Day - VIP Day is a chance for important people in our lives to visit our school and spend some quality time with their favorite Falcon. VIPs can be grandparents, aunts, uncles, or a family friend. VIPs should arrive 15 minutes before our jog a thon time. They will be welcomed by Mrs. Denman and then will be escorted to the jog a thon area. After the jog a thon, VIPs will join us in the classroom for some reading time. At that time VIPs have the option to visit the book fair with their student. Middle School VIPs should arrive at 10:50 and will be done by 12:00. They are of course welcome to stay and have lunch with us from 12:00 - 12:30.
Book Fair - On October 8th we will have the book fair open for parents, VIPs, and students to browse. It will only be here for two days (8th and 9th), so you won't want to miss it.
Jog a Thon - The jog a thon is one of very few fundraisers that occur at Cascade Heights. It is a chance for students to show off the benefits of daily PE and to celebrate the fun of being outside. Middle School will be running at 11:00. Parents are welcome and encouraged to join us track side to help cheer them on, mark laps, tally pledges, or jog a few laps yourself! Pledge sheets should be turned in to classrooms this Thursday. If you need another one, let me know and I'll get one for you!
October 9th: Family Dine Out
Mark your calendars!! CHPCS Family Dinner Nights! Come support our school and enjoy a tasty dinner at California Pizza Kitchen from Tuesday, October 9 through Thursday, October 11. California Pizza Kitchen donates a fraction of their profits to our school. More details to come.
October 12th: Field Trip Friday
Yes, it's time for our first field trip of the year. We will be headed out the Gorge to two wonderful locations. Our first stop will be at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center where we will be learning about early Oregonians and about birds of prey. From there we will continue out to the Maryhill Museum to view the Russian Art Exhibit which highlights the art and artifacts of the Russian Revolution. We will be leaving school at 7:15 and returning at 4:30. It will be a long day, but it's very worth it. Students will wear their regular uniforms and bring a healthy lunch. I still need parent volunteers. If you can join us, please let me know as soon as possible!
October 18th: Harvest Festival
Join the CHPCS community on October 18th for a fun filled evening of free family frivolity. The Harvest Festival is a chance for CHPCS families and friends to get together and celebrate the turning of the season with music, games, and a baking contest. Hayrides, pumpkin decorating, tug o war, and needle in a haystack will keep the young and old entertained for hours. The fun begins at 6:00 and ends at 7:30.
Are you a baker? Are you the keeper of Great Granny’s apple pie recipe? Now’s the time to put on your chef hat, dust off your apron, and whip up your favorite apple or pumpkin themed recipe! The baking contest is open to all adult/child pairs. Baking with children is not only fun, but is great math practice and provides one on one time that encourages open communication. All baking entries are due on October 18th no later than 3:30 p.m. for judging. After ribbons are awarded, the baked goods will be sold at the Harvest Festival for $1.00 a piece.
