CAPCS Campuses To Hit the Books

Four CAPCS campuses have been selected to participate in the 2010-2011 DC RIF (Reading is Fundamental) Initiative. Amos 2, Amos 3, Butler and Rand campuses were among only 50 DC schools chosen to be part of next year’s program. Nothing is more important in a child’s education than learning to read understandingly. The RIF program has helped thousands of children across the nation develop a lasting love of reading while improving their literacy skills. The multi-faceted RIF program includes volunteers who work directly with students and also train CAPCS volunteers. RIF offers creative ideas for literacy nights, part of our ongoing parent outreach activities. There are imaginative supplemental materials for educators, families and children as well as engaging websites. Best of all, three times a year RIF distributes free books to children which they can keep. With reading such a big part of CAPCS’ academic program, we’re excited about this terrific literacy resource.

CAPCS Shows Heart with Pennies for Patients

Congratulations to everyone at CAPCS for making this year’s Pennies for Patients campaign a huge success. Every single CAPCS campus exceeded its goals and we raised $4,264.11 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. That was well over three times last year’s total of $1,227.00. Thanks to everyone who contributed and to those who worked very hard in organizing and managing this effort. CAPCS has a legacy of generosity when it comes to community service activities and we are proud to have continued that legacy and pushed it forward. It is truly one of our areas of excellence.

Literacy Night at Rand a Big Success

An Open House combined with Literacy Night drew the largest turnout ever for this type of event at the Rand campus on April 8. Some 75 parents and staff had a great time participating in various literacy-focused activities. The evening opened with performer “Jali D” who got everyone in the mood for fun and learning with his educational raps. Afterward everyone dispersed to classrooms for age-appropriate activities. There were literacy games, Promethean board demonstrations, a DCCAS test prep demonstration for parents and even a shaving cream letter activity. Click here for more pictures of all the fun.
