LAST, BUT NOT LEAST- FAREWELL TO LIZ, OUR FORMER FAMILY ADVOCATE

 

Dear Cascade Community, it is with a heavy heart that I would like to share that I am not returning this year as the Family Advocate at Cascade. I have accepted a position as a School Social Worker in Seattle. I am grateful for the time that I have gotten to spend with all of you, your children, and the Cascade community as a whole. 

Again, many thanks to Liz, and we wish her all the best!

I will make sure to keep you updated regarding the status of the Family Advocate position at Cascade.
