Staff Members of The Week
Senja Lundberg
This is my 18th year at Cascade Middle School. I have taught various subjects here, but mainly language arts. I also enjoy coaching; for the past 10 years, I have been the Cross-Country coach and have coached track for several years as well. I have three kids whom I adore spending time with. I love traveling and exploring new places. Last summer, I visited Italy for the first time and enjoyed the food and culture there. This summer, I will be going to London to see my daughter's favorite singer, Taylor Swift. We are super excited about it. Additionally, I cherish being outdoors, whether it's hiking, kayaking, or simply spending time by the water. I am eagerly anticipating the warm weather and quality time with my family this summer.
Holly Lichty
Hello!
I put myself through college by working full-time and attending classes part-time for ten years. By far, the best decision I've ever made is getting a Master's degree in education. I have four God children who are all grown and in the United States Air Force. My favorite things to do are listen to music (especially Pink Floyd), hang with friends, run and relax by the swimming pool. My favorite book is Where The Wild Things Are. My favorite movie is The Breakfast Club. Thank you to Cougar families for allowing me to teach and serve the community for so many great years! Also my most favorite food is Cheeseburgers!!! :)
First Tuesdays
“First Tuesdays” Parent Partnerships Nights happens the first Tuesday of each month at Cascade! This is a night for parents and guardians to come find out how you can best support your student academically, as well as socially and emotionally, make common connections with our school community, gather tips to help your student thrive, and become informed about the EPS District guaranteed and viable curriculum.
This night is free, at Cascade Middle School, and from 5-7 pm. Childcare from Kindergarten-5th grade is provided as well as snacks.
April 9th, 2024, will be our next “First Tuesday” Parent Night. We will be watching the movie “Screenagers” to:
Develop awareness about the frequency of substance imagery exposure in the media they consume
Identify and correct popular myths about substances including cannabis, alcohol and nicotine
Become aware of how alcohol, cannabis dispensaries and nicotine brands use social media to market their products to young audiences
Understand a safety-first approach when it comes to drugs and alcohol
Learn strategies to help keep themselves and their friends safe around drugs and alcohol
Please fill out the REGISTRATION FORM to let us know if you are able to attend. We hope you can come!
**We will also run this night again on May 7th, 2024, and then on June 4, 2024, we will dive deeper into other preventative resources.**
