@Cascadia Technical Academy Foundation
The new Cascadia Technical Academy Building 100 design is purpose-built for inclusion and safety, with a secure single-point entry, adequate clearances around equipment, student-centered common spaces, and clearer hallways and sightlines to reduce crowding.
Why it matters: Building 100 is where students train for the careers that keep our community running. When a training space is outdated and overcrowded, it limits how many students can participate and makes hands-on learning harder than it should be. A modern Building 100 gives more students the chance to learn real skills, build confidence, and step into local public safety and infrastructure careers.
We’re not asking you for money. We’re asking you to use your voice so state capital budget dollars come back to Southwest Washington students.
Take the pledge: https://bit.ly/pledge-now-building-100

Mrs. Loncon's classes has been up to some fun activities! We found out she can crochet and has been offering that quite often for flex as enrichment.
In addition, a few weeks ago, her Foundations of Education class tired their hand at making homemade playdough (second set of photos). The class has been going to our Early Learning Center starting Jan 27th to get that hands on experience in the classroom. Today they get to drop off homemade Valentine's they made to students they work with. 💞
Thank you Mrs. Loncon!

Sparks flying in the NCTA shop! 🔥🛠️
Core Plus Welding students Toby and Nate are hard at work fabricating a new lumber rack using a wire-fed MIG welder. Projects like this give students real-world experience in metal fabrication, shop safety, and teamwork while creating something functional for the program.
Great work putting those welding skills to use!
