"No more pencils; no more books; no more teachers' dirty looks. Out for summer. Out 'til fall. We might not come back at all!" - Alice Cooper, "School's Out" Well, we all know that's not true. A couple of weeks into their summer break and they're going to miss the classroom and their friends. And their teachers! Yeah, they'll miss those teachers' "dirty looks", and they'll realize that they really were looks of love; looks which brought their daydreaming back into the lesson; looks that taught...
Always a treat to watch is the Kindergarten Graduation, not only because they'll amaze you with how much they've learned in one year, but also because they run the entire program! Kindergarten teachers Sharon Stevens and Alexis Culp did an outstanding job in preparing these kids for first grade. Kids that one imagines were probably unmanageable on that first day of school back in August (we all know what kind of kids we dropped on the laps of these unsuspecting teachers that first day), they've...
Recently, the Hood-Mortag American Legion Post 133 and Auxiliary of Cascade, Montana learned, through American Legion News, that all classrooms in Montrana were required to display an American Flag. With this information, contact was made with the Cascade Schools and it was learned that several classrooms were not in compliance. Several flags have been purchased and donated to our schools. Since then, it has been determined that the number has increased and more flags have been placed on order....

Presented with a rocking chair, signed by the staff, Karen has plans to travel...

With the Square Butte as a backdrop and the warm sun shining down from the big Montana sky. folks gathered at the Hillside Cemetery to commemorate Memorial Day. It was a beautiful day, as even the wind cooperated. Cascade Veterans from different wars were in attendance, as they met to honor those who never came home, who made the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest of us could enjoy the freedoms that many, nowadays, unfortunately, take for granted, or are clueless. What a world we live in!...

May seems to have just began but then May flies! It is May, and time for mayflowers, mayapples and mayflies! Spring is a season bursting with cherry blossoms, the scent of lilacs, and the landscape devoid of winter white. Just like the mayfly, we are emerging from the depths of winter and able to move into the light. Mayflies are said to have been around before dinosaurs. “After more than 350 million years of evolution, they have perfected the art of life.” They start as an egg, turn into a naiad (water nymph!), emerge from the water, ful...
The long-awaited day for the Class of '24 finally came this past Sunday at the North Gym as this year's seniors said a final good-bye to Cascade Public Schools, to begin a new chapter in their lives. Five of these seniors had spent their entire school life here, Badgers since kindergarten! But they will all take with them fond memories and values that can only be learned at a small town school. One wonders, however, what goes on in the seniors' minds as they sit there on the stage, the focus of...

Friday night, May 10, residents of Cascade were treated to a rare celestial show as the Aurora Borealis illuminated the night sky. The colorful display, typically seen at higher latitudes, captivated onlookers with its dancing lights. Social media flooded with images and videos capturing the spectacle. While such sightings are infrequent in Cascade, locals and visitors alike reveled in the breathtaking experience. Last night’s event served as a reminder of the natural wonders that surround us a...
First a little background. The Order of the Eastern Star has Service Dogs as a worldwide project. Each jurisdiction is encouraged to fund raise for an organization in their area or State. Cascade Chapter #101 chose Dog Tag Buddies because one of our members is a recipient of theirs. Hercules has been with Kevin for about a year and has been a great help to him. Throughout the year we had several fundraisers to include the Easter Basket Sales in March and this last Saturday our Mother's Day Tea....
I’ve been to a lot of places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone, you have to be in Cahoots with someone. I’ve also never been in Cognito, either. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips. Ever heard the phrase “the real McCoy”? It refers to a ground-breaking inventor who revolutionized the railroad industry. Elijah McCoy was born to parents who fled slavery on the Underground Railroad. Elijah trained as a...
The last time we saw Mrs. Culp's kindergarteners, they were sitting on the small hill in the elementary playground, intently looking up at the sky, with their special glasses, with the hope of possibly getting a glimpse of what was supposed to be the event of the year, a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate that day to the disappointment of, not only them, but the rest of us in Cascade. The sun disappearing is not really an unusual event. Solar eclipses happen more...

"The mission of LETR is to raise funds and awareness of the Special Olympics Movement worldwide. Special Olympics is a program that daily reaffirms our beliefs that with hope, love...
Once again, characters from the past were brought back to life at Cascade Public Schools this past Thursday, giving everyone a unique history lesson. Fourth graders from Kourtney Holten's class, and Amanda Brown's high schoolers researched their characters and dressed up in period costumes to give their characters authenticity as they brought them to life. There were so many characters and, unfortunately, not enough time to visit with all of them. Maybe next time this Wax Museum could be...
It was a beautiful day for baseball Thursday, as Cascade teams played a scrimmage game in front of family and friends. Known as “America’s favorite pastime”, baseball is not just a game; it’s more than that. Baseball teaches our youth life lessons that will help them throughout their lives. First, there’s patriotism. It was beautiful to watch these kids start out their game by showing respect for country as they removed their caps and stood at attention for the National Anthem. This is a cruc...
