SAE Community Readers Day

Today we hosted our annual Community Readers Day!
This longstanding event is a wonderful opportunity for community members to connect with the children of Station Avenue Elementary School and share the gift of reading. Each classroom had a guest reader to start the day. We had visitors from Yarmouth libraries, Yarmouth Police and Fire, Yarmouth Rotary Club, current and retired DYRSD teachers and staff, and our own SAE PTO. A huge thanks to all who participated and took the opportunity to collaborate with our school in promoting the importance of literacy.

Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has announced that applications are now available, with a deadline of Tuesday, March 31, 2026, for one three-bedroom home at 26 Horne Avenue in Pocasset (Bourne), two homes (one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom) on Mackie Drive (at 3571 Main Street) in Brewster, and four homes (all three-bedroom) at 805 Gifford Street Extension in Falmouth. The homes will be a mixture of ranch and Cape styles.
 
The maximum household income for the houses is 60% of the area median income for Pocasset (Bourne), one home in Brewster, and two homes in Falmouth, and 80% for one home in Brewster and two homes in Falmouth. For a four-person household, the current maximum income at 60% is $80,100; at 80%, it is $106,800. These income guidelines are adjusted annually.
 
The applicant household must be willing to commit 250-500 hours of sweat equity to build the home and have a housing need. The monthly housing payment (mortgage, taxes, insurance, homeowners association) for these homes is estimated to be around $1,562 - $2,071, depending on the cost of taxes, insurance, changing interest rates, and other terms.

Young Mariner Program

Cape Cod Maritime Museum - Young Mariner Program

The Young Mariner Program is a full-day, Monday–Friday on-the-water summer camp for students entering grades 4 - 7. Campers explore Cape Cod’s marine environment through hands-on, STEM-based activities both on the water and in our museum classroom. Activities include fishing, lobstering, beachcombing, marine science experiments, and learning about local ecosystems and maritime careers.

The program is designed to increase access to maritime education for Cape Cod youth, and we are proud to offer full and partial scholarships to families who may need financial assistance. The goal is to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participating in this experience.
