As we come up on a year of the global pandemic, many things remain restricted or canceled but KINDNESS, HOPE &LOVE remain! For the past 7 years we have annually celebrated the Holidays with a massive local giveaway. This year in the spirit of giving and of service to our community as well as love, we will instead highlight 24 days of local non profit organizations in our region showcasing how vitally important they are! Feel free to share your favorites or share your story in the comments below! #faithhopelove #attitudeofgratitude #holidayseason #giveuntoothers #serviceaboveself #capecod #community #oneplanet  Children's Cove always comes to the top of our mind as one of the most vital and important resources our community and region has to offer. For over 23 years now they have dedicated themselves to being on the front lines helping to assist and protect our most vulnerable population. In the now established age of virtual learning and more kids than ever being online, our kids are now bigger targets than they have ever been and all too often it can be easy to miss small signs.
Children’s Cove provides compassionate, comprehensive, and collaborative response services at no cost to survivors of child abuse through its evidence-based programs, network of community partnerships, educational outreach and awareness efforts. Its multidisciplinary team works together to empower survivors, promote healthy outcomes, and help mitigate the stigma of child abuse. They are located in Hyannis but serve all of the Cape and Islands. Additionally they really focus on education. They provide free talks, education and training throughout the community. They have volunteers that raise awareness and create connections to us to help provide services and support to those in need. They encourage all of us to have conversations with your children about body safety, prevention, and anything else that is important. Start those conversations EARLY and have them often. It’s never too early to start, but it can feel like it is too late to start. For many years now we have partnered with Children's Cove to assist with their outreach and to help break the stigma that surrounds this topic. We have had Outreach Coordinator, Jacob Stapledon on a few times to discuss both Body Safety and Tough Topics which both can be viewed by clicking those links. The information they have shared in helping education our parents and caregivers is crucial to any adult raising children as well as educating the next generation about their bodies and boundaries. Thank you to Children's Cove and their amazing dedicated team who work tirelessly to help, protect and educate us.

Cape Cod Academy Announces New Personalized Tuition Program
Cape Cod Academy is Now Affordable for All Cape Cod Academy (CCA), an independent, co-educational, college preparatory school serving students from kindergarten to grade 12 on Cape Cod, is pleased to announce its new Personalized Tuition Program. It is an income- and resources-based method of determining a personalized tuition for each family, designed to ensure access to CCA. Recognizing economic diversity enriches the educational opportunity for all families and is critical to the health of the school, CCA is pleased to launch this new program effective immediately. The Personalized Tuition Program opens the doors to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds that may have been reluctant to apply to the school because of cost. This program considers a family’s income and expenses and determines tuition based on a percentage calculation. Tuition for the 2019-2020 school year will be determined on a sliding scale ranging from $4,900-$32,000 for the year. An additional sibling discount will be made available to families with multiple children. “This new initiative is two-fold,” said Jeff Thompson, CCA’s Director of Admission and Advancement. “It is intended to address challenges faced by families who seek a superior education yet lack the financial resources. It also enriches the experience of every student attending CCA by providing a diverse learning environment inside and outside the classroom, where students can embrace and celebrate their differences.” “Diversity opens up opportunities for all of us,” said Chad Small, Interim Head of School. “It is a pillar of the school and reflected in our current enrollment, including our population of students from China. The school’s goal is to be affordable to all admitted students, regardless of their economic background. We believe this new initiative is a great way to give even more families access to the best educational experience for college-bound students on Cape Cod.” Founded in 1976, CCA is located on a 46-acre campus that features outdoor classrooms, multiple athletic fields, two gymnasiums, tennis courts, state-of-the art science labs, music pavilions, multiple art studios, photo labs, outdoor pool, and a black box theatre. Our challenging and dynamic college preparatory program is enriched by opportunities in the arts, athletics, and community service. CCA has a vibrant population of international students who bring a cross-cultural perspective and added engagement to our domestic students, widening their awareness of different values and beliefs and improving social skills. Families interested in learning more about the Personalized Tuition Program can visit and apply on the website: www.capecodacademy.org.
