Family Book Club: Coming Soon

The Rotary Club of Yarmouth has been a wonderful partner in supporting literacy at our school through their “Vacation Book Club,” generously donating books for every family before school vacations over the past several years.

This year, we are excited to share a new initiative! Each family will receive a chapter book to participate in a Family Book Club—an optional, fun, and screen-free way to read and connect together at home.

Books were sent home on Friday, April 17th and the first set of family discussion questions and activities were shared in that week's Friday Newsletter.

The Family Book Club will kick off during vacation week and continue when we return to school, culminating in a final celebration on Thursday, June 4th at our Related Arts Showcase Night.
Below is a the schedule:

Chapter 1-8 - Week of April 27-May 1
Chapter 9-16 - Week of May 4-May 8
Chapter 17- 24 - Week of May 11-May 15

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.
