Thank you for visiting the Project CAPE website.  This project is an exciting venture for all of us who support the important work of public schools in Racine County.  We are on a journey of faith and hope – faith in the schools to bring success to every student and hope that through this project, continuous reflection and improvement will be sustained in the organizations that are funded.

To collaborate with school leaders who act strategically to examine their practices and improve student learning is an opportunity I welcomed.  The fact that businesses in the county would contribute financially to this effort demonstrates their desire to be part of a productive partnership and reminds schools they are not alone in teaching all children to their highest level.

In 2008 we are inspired by the work of educators described in our news section of the website.  As we go forward, Project CAPE seeks to widen its circle of participating schools.  We are looking for those learning communities who want to challenge themselves to increase the success of all students.  These schools, in a process of continuous improvement, use student performance data to experiment with new ideas, uncover problems, and monitor results.  If you or someone you know wants to join us in promoting positive educational improvement, browse this site to learn more about our work.  If you have additional questions or need more information, please contact me.

Sincerely,
