teachers. Board member Erick Galleguillos followed with the annual

Cascade Celebrates Writing |

a writing workshop model, came out of the Teachers College Reading and
Writing Project from Columbia University. Last year, Cascade Canyon
teachers collaborated to fully implement the writing workshop
schoolwide, and have reported tremendous results. Cascade students
