Do You Spawn?

The teachers here at Cascades Academy understand quite clearly the idea of "blogging", which really leads one to images of late night key-tapping, coffee-drinking, and hair-on-fire muckraking. Therefore as a public service, to those oft-stereotyped blog-addicts out there, we will claim only "to spawn" - a more mild-mannered conjugation of the formal "to blog" - on this portion of our site. We can condone the late night key-tapping and the coffee-drinking, however, the hair-on-fire muck-racking is really just out of the question. The preferred method of communicating all that we do here at Cascades Academy would be for your children to race home after-school with tales of carnivorous lab-turtles, firemen in the parking lot, at-large guinea pigs, red-coated strangers rifling their lunches for sugar, classroom knitting obsessions, or the occasional enlightening lecture. However knowing kids as well as we do, we also understand that it is a rare day when children even make it home with all of the same clothes they went to school wearing (have you seen the lost and found lately?). It is with this level of awareness to childhood development that we give you The Spawn - a grown-up attempt to let you know some of what we do here everyday.

The Weblog portion of this site combines news from all divisions of the school. This format helps us all better understand what is going on in all grades here at CACO. Of course we encourage you to take a look at all threads to fully understand and appreciate the scope of the educational experience that we provide here at Cascades Academy. You will notice that not all of the posts allow for reader comment - however the posts that are open for comment, are only open to families of children at the school and are only accessed via the email accounts that you have provided the school.

You will also notice pages reserved for versions of the Steelhead Run, a Community Message Board, a Resources page, and links to the Cascades Academy Weekly News and the Cascades Academy homepage. Feel free to look around.
