Students should dress comfortably, wear sneakers & pre-applied sunscreen, and bring a labeled water bottle. In addition, students should show good sportsmanship and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
The Physical Education teachers will share which team students are on prior to the day (Blue or White).
CAS Learning Garden is Blooming!
Thank you to all of the families who volunteered in the Learning Garden this week (and this year)! We would like to especially thank the Karounis family for donating their delicious olive oil from their family farm! The students truly enjoyed planting, harvesting and tasting the different greens and radishes they planted. As requested by the children, here is the recipe we use for you to enjoy at home:
Famous CAS Salad Dressing:
¼ cult Balsamic Vinegar
½ cup Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Last day! Honor an Educator via the Madison Education Foundation!
Do you have a graduating 5th grader? Is there a teacher who helped your child develop a passion for art, music or STEM? Is there an administrator or counselor who helped you navigate a difficult situation?
A donation to MEF in honor of the teachers, counselors, and administrators who have made a positive difference in your child's life is a wonderful way to give thanks for all our educators do for our kids. All educators named in donations to MEF in May will receive a personalized acknowledgment. Learn more about MEF's Honor an Educator Campaign and make a donation HERE. Ends TODAY!
