CAPS celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America by inviting families into the school for a morning filled with fun literacy activities. Parents and family members joined their children in read-aloud sessions of Dr. Seuss classics, hands-on crafts, and creative projects. The event strengthened the connection between home and school, emphasized the importance of family involvement in reading, and encouraged a love for books. 

The 100th day of school is a fun and meaningful milestone, offering students a chance to reflect on their progress and celebrate their learning. Activities like counting to 100, creating 100-item collections, writing about 100 things, and dressing up as 100-year-olds engage students in creative and educational ways.  Whether through games, acts of kindness, or snacks, the 100th day is a celebration of hard work, growth, and the excitement of learning.

As part of CAP's Positive Behavior Support Plan, students who demonstrated hard work and positive choices were rewarded with a special day in the snow. They enjoyed an extended recess, playing in the winter wonderland, and warmed up with a cup of delicious hot chocolate. This fun and rewarding day not only celebrated their achievements but also reinforced the importance of making positive choices, showing that good behavior leads to great rewards and memorable experiences.

Second-grade students from CAPS recently visited the Tom Ridge Environmental Center (TREC) in Erie, Pennsylvania, for a day of hands-on learning and fun. They explored interactive exhibits about wildlife and ecosystems, made nature crafts using materials like pinecones and leaves, and created bird feeders from peanut butter, birdseed, and toilet paper rolls. The activities helped the children connect with nature, learn about local wildlife, and understand the importance of conservation.

Second-grade students recently had the opportunity to share their stories with kindergarteners in a heartwarming event made possible by second-grade teachers Ms. Roche, Mrs. Brundage, and Mrs. Munn.  The second graders proudly read aloud to their younger peers, kindergarteners in Mrs. Mosher's class and Mrs. Newton's class.  They listened attentively and respectfully, creating a positive and engaging atmosphere.   Led by Mrs. Yatsko, this was a wonderful reminder of the strong sense of community within the school and the positive impact of collaborative efforts between teachers and students.
