Box Tops for Education

Clip and save your Box Tops from General Mills and other participating products. We will collect them at school and redeem them for cash. You will be surprised when you see how many of these box tops you already have in your pantry or refrigerator. A great place to shop that has lots of Box Tops for Education items is Tri Star in Kilmarnock!

If you shop online, CAPPA found an easy way to earn money for Chesapeake Academy. BoxTops4education teamed up with 60 retailers. These retailers donate a percentage of your purchases to the school. Simply start with BoxTops4education.com. Click on “Find out how much your school has earned”, type in Chesapeake Academy and your registration information and shop from BoxTops4education.com’s Marketplace. Click on an online store of your choosing and you’ll be directed to that site. This is a great way to earn money for the school on things you are already buying.

Campus Beautification

Responsible for landscaping (planting, mulching, raking), small campus repairs (painting and odd jobs) and working closely with the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board. We also offer the “adopt-a-bed” program. This works well for committee members that would like to volunteer a small amount of time to a specific area on campus; it also allows you to do the work when it is convenient for you, as schedule conflicts may occur with the clean-up dates. We need volunteers to help water the flowers. There is no sprinkler system in place and hoses are, unfortunately, not convenient to the placement of most of the flower beds. During hot or dry periods, if a few of us have weekly rotations and water every other day, for example, then we can keep our flowers alive and beautiful!
Committee Chairs: Taz and Johanna Carrington

Field Day

CAPPA volunteers, along with faculty and staff, organize a celebration of fun, friendly competition, and the end of the school year.

Committee Chair: Kiersten Stinson

Kilmarnock Christmas Parade

Last year's, CA entry was in the form of a festively decorated boat, crewed by parents, students, and Mrs. Cook.
