Think back to when you were in school. In addition the the knowledge you gained from your classroom studies, wouldn't it have been nice to be able to pick a topic about which you are really passionate, and learn as much as you could about it?

Bottle Cap Project
It has become a tradition for the 8th graders to participate in a community service project with CAPE Head Start Pre-School. This year, the 8th graders are collecting bottle caps to recycle and turn into a picnic table for the kids at Head Start. General recycle bins are located in the middle school hall and in the gym. To encourage more caps, a class competition will be held in the middle school from January 17 - 27. Bins are located in each middle school classroom. Bins will be weighed and the winning class will receive a special prize!
