Overview

Mission

Cascade K-8 is a thriving community of teachers, kids, parents, and our PTSA is dedicated to supporting that community. We help new parents get used to life at Cascade, we provide fundraising for many of the programs at our school, as well as supporting our classrooms and teachers through volunteer work. We see every day what a wonderful gift Cascade K-8 is to our kids, and we do our best to help keep it great.

What it reported doing in 2024

Spring and Fall Camps: This is an overnight field trip for the whole school. It's a two-day experience for outdoor school and community building. Students (and family members who attend camp) sleep in cabins, go to nature classes, take hikes and sculpt clay from the riverbanks. While the school staff are responsible for the curriculum during the camp, parent volunteers help with many aspects of camp, such as cooking, monitoring the campfire, leading free choice activities, and helping with the talent show.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
