Our Kindness Challenge: Celebrate Someone You Love

NEWS FROM THE OFFICE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING !

We are excited to share with you an opportunity to celebrate our Cape Verdean community through a student contest that welcomes creative expression. This contest is one of many ways that Falmouth Public Schools will celebrate Cape Verdean heritage and culture in the coming year.

Why this year? Cape Verde, or Cabo Verde, achieved its independence in 1975 – two years after the assassination of their renowned freedom fighter, Amilcar Cabral – whose 100th birthday would have been next September. As we reflect on Amilcar Cabral’s leadership, we are partnering with our friends at the Cape Cod Cape Verdean Museum & Cultural Center to offer this opportunity. To learn more about Amilcar Cabral and the values he held as a leader, please listen to our friend Barbara Burgo as she shares her knowledge with you.

We encourage all Clippers to submit.

This year's Elementary Track Meet will be held on Saturday, November 18th.

The event will be held OUTDOORS at the Falmouth High School's track, so please have your runner(s) dress accordingly. In case of severe or inclement weather, please be sure to include an email that you check frequently, as this is how you will be notified of any changes to the event or the schedule.
