Cascade Christian PfC Connections

Teacher Appreciation Week was a great time to show the CCS staff how much they are loved. They were blessed with lots of yummy treats, new coffee mugs and coffee, surprise gift cards and a delicious catered Cinco De Mayo lunch. We all truly appreciate everything you do for our kids. A huge thank you to all the parents and PFC for making it all possible.

Teacher appreciation week is off to an exciting start. On Monday, the staff received new personalized mugs, tons of pods for their Keurig and boxes of donuts. This is just the beginning to a fun week. Please feel free to drop staff members a note to let them know how much they are loved.

SWAP & SHOP
HOMECOMING/PROM DRESSES

Cascade Christian High School will hold its first annual Homecoming/Prom Dress Swap & Shop on Sunday, March 20th, in the DRC (library). Drop off at 2:30pm and Shop 3pm-5pm. Bring your gently used dresses (on hangers) and accessories too! We ask if you are trying on dresses to please come make-up free, and wear spandex and a sports bra under your clothes, as we can’t offer dressing rooms at this time. This event invites all high school and college girls from the surrounding area to sell and/or exchange gently worn formal dresses for other dresses brought in by students and alumni…So please tell your friends! It’s not necessary to bring a dress to participate, come on by and shop the merchandise! If you would like to donate your gently previously-loved gowns (PLEASE!), call or text us to schedule a time for drop-off. We are excited about this event and can't wait to see you there!

We have received approval from CCS to host a Spaghetti Feed/Auction at CCS on Sunday, March 13th at 3:00 p.m. to fundraise for the Lapinski Family. The Lapinski family have had 4 kids attend CCS (Taylor 20, Jackson 18, Ashton 10 and Averie 8). Jason Lapinski (father) unexpectedly died on January 13th leaving his family with no life insurance and no income. The mom, Tami has been a stay-at-home mom until the last year or so and has been working two jobs to keep her head above water. The loss of Jason is devastating emotionally as well as financially for this family. The two youngest kids were pulled out of CCS due to financial reasons. Jackson is currently a senior at CCS. As you can imagine, Tami is overwhelmed as she faces the cost of 2 kids in college as well as all other living expenses.

We are looking for donations for the auction! We are doing a LIVE auction as well as a SILENT auction (gift baskets, items, etc.) ! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE donate. Also, if there are teams/groups that want to donate service projects, that is awesome. We are really hoping for some amazing items! If you can help in procurement, THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Here are a couple items we have so far.....

LIVE AUCTION:
-a lodge in Alaska
-a week lodging at any Worldmark Resort
-land surveying ($2,000/value)
-CCS Baseball Team at your Service (12 guys x 8/hours each) - total of 96 hours of labor!

SILENT AUCTION
-Quilt
-Large Gift Basket
-Custom Cookie Basket
-Home Decor Basket
