CAPE was invited, in partnership with Methanex, to create a city icon using canned food for the Root Cellar’s CAN-struction event. Our grade 3 students built their version of the “Sunshine Trolley” at the Medicine Hat Mall. All canned goods donated to this event will be used by the Root Cellar to support families in our community.
CAPE took an award “for the best meal” from the representation of the cans provided
CAPE students have experienced wonderful success with their participation in many school wide events. Throughout the school years students have participated in many different contests, school-based initiatives and school sports. See our Outstanding Achievements here.
CAPE school has contributed towards many community organizations. Giving back to the community is an important and integral aspect of the partnership we have with our community. Students have fundraised through a school bake sale which money was donated generously to the Ronald McDonald House. Students also have raised money through various school wide activities earning money to be donated to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, SPCA and the Medicine Hat Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub and the Mustard Seed. We are very proud of these efforts from our wonderful CAPE families and students.
CAPE has introduced a new program this year, our community crosswalk safety patrol. Utilizing a long time connection between one of CAPE’s staff members and the AMA, we have trained volunteer CAPE students as safety patrollers. They who have dedicated themselves to help keep our CAPE community safe. These patrollers report to their outside duty in the mornings and at dismissal times.
A community member has observed the CAPE safety patrollers in action and has noted the students incredible dedication to the program.
“I just wanted to tell you how pleased I was to look out my window to see the AMA Safety Patrol team from CAPE this week. They are a most diligent group of young folks- so serious about their work. It was a delight watching their efforts, especially given the sudden turn in the weather. Much appreciation to their teacher supervisor. I know it is an increased responsibility, but she does a marvelous job looking after them. Hopefully, these young people will make a safer neighbourhood for all and have a positive effect on their peers, as well as the parents who bring their children to the school.”
