The school year may be ending, but the adventures in reading and writing don't have to stop! CVES students are invited to participate in our 2026 Summer Reading & Writing Challenge and keep their skills growing all summer long.

Students who meet their personal goals and return their completed challenge sheet at Meet-the-Teacher in August will earn a special prize to kick off the 2026-27 school year!

There are two ways to win!

📖 Read for 40 Days

Happy reading, happy writing, and have an amazing summer — we can't wait to celebrate all your hard work when school starts again!

There's not much cuter than a Cascade View kindergartner, and our adorable Cubs pulled out all the stops as they marked the first of many academic milestones at CVES. We loved watching as our pint-sized scholars celebrated their inaugural year with their friends and families with an aloha-themed end-of-the-year sendoff. Have a great summer, kiddos! Next stop – first grade!

Rain, rain, went away ... just in time for CVES field day!

Yesterday our Cubs raced through three-legged challenges, limboed their way to glory, got creative with art projects, battled it out on the kickball field, chased bubbles through the air, and packed the day with smiles, laughter, and plenty of unforgettable memories.

A huge thank you to our amazing parent volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day such a success, and to the CVES PTSA for organizing another fantastic field day.

We have moved our Lost and Found to the front of the school building today for ease of parent and student access. If your child is missing anything, please swing by today and take a look! At the end of the day, all items left behind will be donated.

It was quite a morning at CVES as the Wax Museum opened to visitors for a very special exhibit featuring some of the world's most influential people. In addition to being a whole lot of fun, this interactive and immersive learning experience teaches our Cubs research skills, public speaking abilities, and a deeper understanding of historical figures and how they changed the world. Kudos to our fourth graders for not only engaging in their own learning but also offering an educational experience for their peers, teachers, and parents. (And did we mention that it was a whole lot of fun?) 😀
