Cape Cod Academy's Annual Multicultural Potluck Luncheon will be held next Wednesday, April 5th. The entire school community will have an opportunity to sample a variety of international foods honoring the dozens of international cultures represented at our school. We are happy to resume this school tradition which was last held in 2019, before the pandemic.

This Multicultural Potluck Luncheon is open to all K-12 students, faculty, and staff. It will take place in the lower school gym on Wednesday, April 5 from 11:30 - 12:10 p.m. for lower school students, and from 12:15 - 1:35 p.m. for middle and upper school students. The menu will consist of traditional ethnic dishes served buffet-style. CCA families, students, and faculty are encouraged to contribute a food that represents their heritage or a culture whose language or traditions are familiar. Decorations, flags, artwork, artifacts, and signs are welcome and will be displayed. If you haven't signed up yet to bring a dish or volunteer, please do so by clicking here or on the link below. The success of this event relies on community participation, so please help support this CCA tradition.

The PAL Program has been working to expand hands-on learning opportunities for students, and with the creativity, experience, and innovation of our middle school teachers, we have some wonderful programming slated to take place this spring. We are excited to announce PAL Fridays for middle school students. This spring, each middle school class will spend two Fridays exploring topics that have curricular ties, rigor, and choice of activities. Learn more by clicking here.

Please join us on Wednesday, April 12 at 6:00 p.m. for the Academic Planning Night sponsored by the College Counseling Office. Parents and students entering grades 10-12 this fall will learn about the importance of carefully selecting courses that will ensure each student is in the best place as he/she begins the college application process. We will discuss how to choose classes, not only based on a specific level, but taking into consideration each student's interests, potential future plans, and graduation requirements. The information presented will help students and parents prepare for success in Cape Cod Academy's upper school and beyond. RSVP via the button below by April 11th. If you have any questions, please contact Meg Farley, Director of College Counseling, at mfarley@capecodacademy.org.
