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.

AROUND CAMPUS

Third Graders Solve a "Whodunit"


Our third graders kicked off their Mystery Reading unit of study by participating in a “Whodunit” crime-solving event. Each student was dressed in character as they worked to solve the crime of a missing million-dollar trophy. Students were introduced to vocabulary terms, such as foreshadowing, red herrings, sleuths, evidence, and more. 

Seventh Graders Visit the Museum of Science


Seventh graders enjoyed a field trip to the Museum of Science in Boston. They explored a variety of math, science, social studies, and art concepts, including scale, electricity, and climate change.

Students Participate in All Cape Junior Chorale Festival


Students in Cape Cod Academy’s Middle School Chorale attended the All Cape Junior Chorale Festival last Friday, February 16th. CCA was one of six schools in attendance at the event hosted by Nauset Regional Middle School. Congrats to our Chorale members: Mischa Borowick, Clarisse Collins, Prem Connor, Skyelar Dahl, Molly Donaruma, Leonora Hailer, Piper Malin, Alessia Mezzacappa, and Amelia Roma. 

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.
