Welcome to CAPE

The Canton Alliance for Public Education (CAPE) is a non-profit, community-based foundation dedicated to enhancing Canton's commitment to excellence in public education. We seek to promote innovative and productive programs that challenge students and teachers to achieve their true potential. As a partner with both the community and the schools, we raise money to sponsor grants for projects that will successfully achieve this mission.

Spelling Bee Cancelled
In our effort to respond cautiously about the spread of COVID-19 and after consultation with Canton School Committee and the Canton Department of Public Health we have decided to cancel the CAPE Spelling Bee. When appropriate, we will seek to reschedule the Spelling Bee based on further developments with the virus.

Since the Spelling Bee is our largest fundraiser to provide grants to teachers for the following year we would ask that any donations made for advertisements could remain with CAPE as a donation. If however, you would like a refund, we are happy to process that for you.
