Help CAP’s Food Programs Meet The Needs Of The Community
CAP's Food and Nutrition programs need to raise $15,000 to support increased needs and rising costs by September 30th, 2022. CAP supports individuals and families with food and nutrition through the Shakopee food shelf, Senior Nutrition, and food distribution pop-ups. Most do not know that CAP purchases food at a subsidized cost to supply the food shelf. The cost of a case of canned soup, a kitchen staple for many, has increased from $29.59 in 2021 to $38.94 now. You can help CAP continue to provide healthy, nutritious groceries for our neighbors by hosting a food drive, donating food, or through a monetary gift.

Help Make Shakopee High School Athletic Events Safe & Fun For All Fans!
Here are few things to keep in mind when attending Shakopee High School Athletic Events this year:
1) Tickets and passes are available ONLINE ONLY this year! Shakopee families are encouraged to go online well in advance of games to purchase tickets. During the fall, tickets are required for varsity football, soccer, volleyball, and swimming/diving. Tickets are also required for lower-level games that directly proceed varsity events at the same venue (example: JV volleyball). Purchase tickets and passes here.
2) Students still get in free with their IDs! Grades 9-12 can show their ID at the door and sit in the student section. Grades K-8 must show their ID and be with a parent to get in free. Students do not need to purchase or reserve tickets ahead of time online if they are coming with their ID. However, students will need to pay for section playoff games plus all away games that they attend.
3) Check out the awesome video put together by our Saber Pack! We love having everyone at our games but need to follow the rules so that everyone can enjoy our games. The four main rules are: 1) Behave - no running or throwing things. 2) Clean up - please throw away your garbage at the end of the game. 3) Watch the game - we want you cheering. 4) Bring your parents - K-8 students must have a parent with them in order to get in for free with your ID.
