2010 Brownell and Thompson Award Recipients Named
Tim & Nancy Thompson, Gretchen McNulty, John Casey, Elaine Brownell and Christine Mackenzie
The faculty and staff breakfast began this morning with a heartfelt offering of appreciation for two of Cape Elizabeth's finest teachers. Gretchen McNulty was awarded the Brownell Award in recognition of the tremendous success of the World Affairs Council, an extracurricular group at CEHS seeded with CEEF grants. CEMS Assistant Principal John Casey was named recipient of the Thompson Award, given to a staff or faculty member who goes above and beyond in his or her role as mentor to students. Congratulations to both of these extraordinary teachers and thank you for all you give to our students in Cape Elizabeth.

Room with a View
Eighth-grade students Austin Andrews and Josh Graessle are two of the many artists who created this beautiful mural of Portland Head Light on the wall of a previously drab middle school conference room. Art teacher Marguerite Lawlor-Rohner instructed the students with landscape-painting skills gained in a professional development grant funded by CEEF. More murals are in the works throughout the fifth-grade wing and art hallway. To view a video of the dedication at Arts Night click here.
