Oct 15th- 10th Anniversary
Harvest Festival and Baking Contest
The Harvest Festival is open from 6:00-7:30 on the playground. Fun for all ages! Please remember that this is NOT a Halloween event, and costumes are not allowed.
Baking together is a great way to not only build relationships with your child, but to use non-fiction reading skills and math skills in real life. This year’s contest has 4 categories for 4 times the fun! In order to enter, please attach the entry form found below to the BOTTOM of your dish. We don’t want to know who made it until AFTER the judging.
Category 1 – Apple – Any dish made with apple as the primary ingredient.
Category 2 – Pumpkin – Any dish made with pumpkin as the primary ingredient.
Category 3 – Dietary Restrictions – Any dish made with either pumpkin or apple but which is gluten free or dairy free or vegan, etc. Please specify on your entry form!
Category 4 – Cake Decorating – Cakes of any flavor decorated with the 10 years of Cascade Heights theme. All cakes will be used in the cake walk.
To enter just drop off your entry on Thursday no later than 3:30, to the ZIP room (down the hall from the gym). A piece of masking tape with your child’s name and grade on it will ensure your platter makes it home.
Third graders will receive 5 Dojo points for entering the Baking Contest!
Oct 21st- Roman Legacy projects due.
Oct 21-22- Legacy Presentations. We will be presenting from 12:15-1:15 on Wednesday and Thursday. Students will know by Thursday, 10/15 which day they are presenting. If you would like to request a specific day so that you may come, please let me know by Wednesday, 10/14.
