BITE OF CASCADE INFORMATION: (from Roxy, next year’s PTSA co-chair!!)


Hello Cascade Community!


We are just over a week away from The Bite of Cascade and the Spring Art Show. This is a great opportunity to mingle with fellow Cascade community members, show off your chief skills and see the amazing art from the kids.


Click HERE to volunteer! https://forms.gle/sYCS5b2dFFvPaYbL7

2024 Bite of CascadeThursday, May 23rd 6:30pm-9:00 Each "bite" needs to be "sample sized" and each contribution should be enough for roughly 100 "bites". Examples: small cup of soup or pasta (4-6oz), slider-sized sandwich, cupcake etc. See what others are here bringing HERE!

Also, no shame in recruiting family members to make something and we'll be happy to sell it. I got our grandma making cake bites 😉. If bringing food doesn't work for you we could use you for setting up or selling or cleaning up. Proceeds for this event will go to the PTSA.


Signing up now helps me know what supplies are needed to serve your tasty morsels.


Hope to see you all there!
