Thank You for Participating in Giving Day |
We are so grateful to our entire community who came together yesterday for our third annual Cape Cod Academy Giving Day. We are so pleased to report that we surpassed our goal for the Cape Cod Academy Annual Fund by 40%!
This is a tremendous tribute to our faculty and staff and will have an immediate impact on our students' experience. We cannot thank you enough.
A highlight of Giving Day was welcoming
motivational speaker, Chris Millette, who spoke to our upper and middle school students about leadership, resilience, grit, and confidence. Chris then talked with our lower school students about kindness and what it means to be an energy giver.

Middle Schoolers Enjoy Spirit Week
This week, middle school students participated in a week of spirited activities and events. Each day had a dress-up theme and a special event, such as relay races, guess the teachers' baby pictures, and a Family Feud trivia contest. We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and good sportsmanship; a good time was had by all!
| |
On Thursday, the Spirit Week theme was Sports Jersey Day and Anything but a Backpack, which meant students brought their classwork and books in something other than a backpack. | |
