Cascade SD #5 highlights staff and student achievements, gym naming and awards
Summary
Board meeting recognized staff and student accomplishments: a gymnasium naming, temporary staff praised, student athletic and academic successes, and recognition programs including the "Totally Tiger" awards and a $250,000 Wellness Grant for Turner Elementary.
Multiple administrators used their reports to acknowledge staff and student accomplishments. High School Assistant Principal Mr. Woodral described the gym naming in honor of Mark Stevens and thanked Mr. Iverson and the metal class students Christian Bone and Rylan Collins for making the sign. He also recognized Bob Thompson for his work with students and several temporary teachers for going "above and beyond." High School Principal Mr. Rasmussen emphasized the district community, saying, "Notion of community makes a difference — grateful to be here, serve the community and serve with great people. Thank you!"
The athletic director reported strong winter-sport participation and academic performance (wrestling team finished 5th in GPA ranking among peers) and projected continued participation of about 225 spring-sport students. Junior High Assistant Principal Ms. Gehley reported that 238 students recently earned "Totally Tiger" recognition and highlighted improvements in attendance and behavior. Turner Elementary Principal Ms. Iverson announced Turner's strong I-Ready math results and a Wellness Grant worth $250,000 distributed over five years to support activities and incentives.
These recognitions were presented as informational reports with no formal motions attached; the board publicly thanked staff and volunteers for their contributions.
