The Wenatchee River Institute (WRI) has received funding specifically designated to provide outdoor programming for Alpine Lakes Elementary next year. This incredible opportunity was made possible by an Alpine Lakes family who recognized the funding gap and generously stepped up to fill it. Thanks to their support, every student at Alpine Lakes will have the chance to visit the woods, meadows, and shoreline of the Wenatchee River Institute for up to four half-days per classroom next year. This will allow our students to learn and explore in their own community, creating unforgettable outdoor experiences and fostering a deeper connection with nature. Thank you!
Education Support Professionals Week is March 10-14. Take some time and thank our hard working Nurses, Bus Drivers, Custodians, Paraeducators, Maintenance and Grounds, Food Services and Office Personnel. We can't thank them enough for all they do!!

Cascade School District passed both levies thanks to YOU, our community! With the funds that come to the district through voter-approved levies, we can continue offering our students the programs and services they need. THANK YOU!
On the ballot, the Cascade School District is proposing two
replacement levies to voters to replace current levies set to expire in
December 2025. These levies are not new taxes but a continuation of the
existing levies approved by voters in 2021. The renewal of these levies will
not increase the overall tax rate and will continue to support vital programs
and services for students.
Please remember to vote by February 11. Learn more about how levy dollars are
making a difference in our community on our website:

Ballots for the Cascade School District levies are due February 11.
Please remember to vote! If you want to learn more about what you are

Cascade School District Saves Taxpayers $1.5 Million in Bond Refinancing
Leavenworth – On February 4, 2025, Cascade School District No. 228 successfully refinanced its 2015 Bonds through a $16.4 million bond sale. This refinancing will save taxpayers $1.54 million over the next 10 years by reducing the district’s debt.
The District was able to achieve these savings by issuing the new bonds at an average interest rate of 3.15%, down from the previous rate of 4.68%. This was made possible by the district’s careful monitoring of bond market conditions and the approval of the refunding bonds by the Board on November 25, 2024.
The district’s top “A1” credit rating that was recently reinstated from Moody’s helped attract investors, reducing borrowing costs. Additionally, participation in the Washington State School District Credit Enhancement Program, which offers repayment security, further lowered the cost. Superintendent Dr. Tracey Edou said, “Our team worked hard to minimize costs and reduce the tax burden on our community. These savings will help offset future taxes for our residents.”
