Over 300 people loaded up on spaghetti and other carbs at the first CEEF-hosted Pasta with Purpose dinner on Saturday, May 31st. Even more than that number packed the Pond Cove gym that night to get a glimpse of some of the most exciting programs being offered within Cape schools. More than 20 teacher- and student-led demonstrations simultaneously entertained, educated and intrigued the busy room. Kids bounced on yoga balls while enjoying a World Languages slide show. Community members of all ages learned of exciting changes to take place in our high school cafeteria, while remote-controlled Lego Robotics cars zoomed by them on the floor. Twenty-first century technology dazzled many, with the Smartboard inviting fingers to do the learning interactively, learning about math & library science in the process.

A huge success, the event offered last-minute registration opportunity to Pond Cove 5K Challenge runners as well as race packet pick-up. CEEF partnered with the Pond Cove Parent Association and the Middle School Parent Association to host the event's grant celebration, and proudly benefited from the generous sponsorship Willows & Market Fresh Produce to provide the spaghetti dinner.
