Students enjoying Creativity Club after school.

CASCADE AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM

Cascade High School is now hosting a district-

tutoring program for 9th to 12th grades after school on

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

The program takes place in the high school library

where three to five teachers; depending on the day, will

be assisting those who seek help. The high school is also

offering Ukulele Club on Tuesdays and Creativity Club

on Thursdays for students that are interested. The purpose

of this program is to help students get caught up with

work, build community skills, and give them a place to

study, and learn new things.

There is no limit on how many students can stay. As the

program grows, more teachers will be hired and volun-

teers with background checks are accepted as well. After

school programming is from 3:15-4:45 and the district is

offering transportation.

Foreign Exchange Students

This year Cascade was fortunate enough to have six visitors from all over the globe. These exchange students will be staying with a host family for the whole school year and all be at-tending Cascade High School as one of our very own seniors and be getting the full experience of

what being in high school is like as a Cascade cougar in America.

Yunseo Hong: Yunseo is from Korea and speaks English and Korean. She gives Cascade a 9 out 10 for the short time she’s been here. She is currently staying with the Fry family. Her favorite

class is ceramics. She enjoys being in America rather than Korea because she gets to sleep in more here and choose what classes she wants to take and take classes they don’t offer in Korea.

Her favorite food in America are french fries.

Chanipapha Jiamwiriyasathain: Better known as “ Nice” is from Thailand and currently stay-ing with the Emmerit family. She speaks English, Thai, and Chinese. She is going to cheer for cas-

cade during basketball season. She says the biggest difference from Thailand in America is the students move from class to class instead of the teachers moving classrooms and that Cascade

has no school uniforms. Her favorite American food is pizza and cookies.

Marta Fernandez Moreno: Marta is from Spain and currently living with Troy and Nancy Grif-fith. She speaks English, Spanish, and Catalan. Her favorite class has been pre-calculus and she just finished her cross country season here at Cascade. She plans on trying cheer and track. She believes the biggest difference in America compared to Spain is the way lessons are taught. She

likes how here, the teachers give more time to practice. She doesn’t like a majority of the food here in America, but her favorite is pizza.

Michel Mannot: Michel is from Germany and speaks three languages: German, English, and Spanish. Currently he is staying with the Schnepp family. He says he enjoys Cascade so far and

appreciates that everyone has been so nice. Michel was the goalie for the soccer team this season and plans on trying wrestling and baseball these upcoming months. He believes the biggest differ-

ence in America from Germany is the fact that people can drive at 16 years old and that he can choose his classes.

GERMAN EXCHANGE STUDENTS

The German students we’ve had for these past 2 weeks

have been awesome for both the Germans and the Cascade

community. They get to learn more about our culture and our

schools, while we get to make new friends. Cascade students

have the opportunity to travel to Germany later this year. All

of these students are in the highest tier of Germany’s three

school tier system called a Gymnasium, this means they

work super hard and they are going to a great college. Yelda

had this to say about America’s high schools: “I thought

American high schools were like the musicals”

German students enjoyed their time at Cascade.

A FEW CLUBS

CHOIR Cascadians just finished their October Community service project by selling popcorn. They are going to do a children's book drive and read to the children over at Doernbechers. Ten percent of the profits go to the teen home-less shelter. On October 17th they did a wonderful job singing at the fall league showcase. Get your calendars out be-cause they are going to blow the roof off of the auditorium on Tuesday, November 27th when they show off their hard work at their fall concert.

TRAVEL CLUB The travel club have exciting stuff happening. They are going to be traveling to China next summer. They are gathering their money by doing loads of fundraisers that happen once or twice a month and running concessions for the volleyball games. Ms. Dotter wants students at Cascade to go out into the world and have adventures. The travel club is also partnering up with the AVID class of 2020 to bring the 17th Annual Craft Fair on November 3rd from 9 to 4. So don't miss it and come and see the fun, popping things there. Do you want to join in on the fun? You can, they have meetings every late start Wednesdays during lunch in room 49 in the vocational building.

CCFA The Crazy Cougar Fan Association is a student group that goes and supports all the sports here at Cascade High School. If you have school spirit inside and you want to show it then make sure to join and cheer on your fellow student athletes. Talk to Mr. Mintzer or Jenna Schnepp about getting a CCFA shirt. Stay Gold Cascade. JENNA SCHEPP

UKELE CLUB You know that awesome club here at Cascade? Well if you didnt know its Ukulele Club! The president, Ben Asbury, comments, ¨If you can beat the president at the ukulele you can be the president.” So start practicing to overthrow the ¨king¨. They have meetings after school on Tuesday and sometimes (when Potato Club isn't hap- pening) on Fridays at lunch in Mr. Medlock´s room. Do you need know how to play in order to join? Of course not, Ben says, ¨It´s discour-aged because then they can challenge my throne.” So come

on down to Mr. Medlock´s room and give the ukulele a try.

DRAMA CLUB The Drama Club has many exciting stuff happening. The play that is being formed as you read this is Mutually Assured Destruction by Don Zolidis. The actors and actresses are super pumped to be acting in this play. The techies are working hard to make sure the costumes are on point, the sound is poppin’, the lights are extra and the sets are killer. The play is about sibling relationships through the different time periods. It will make you cry tears of enjoyment. We will also be doing the play Great Gatsby in the winter so stay tuned for that. Show Dates: 16th at 7, 17th at 2 and 7, 18th at 2

Outside Cascade

Outside Cascade has an awesome line-up of activities this year. We already spent a day at Camp Dako-

ta participating in rock climbing, paint ball, archery, and the tomahawk throw. We had so much fun, we

went back for a zombie hunt in the dark! At the end of November, the OC is traveling to the Pentacle

Theatre for “Little Shop of Horrors.” Remember to GET OUTSIDE!
