Brownell and Thompson Awards

CEEF is thrilled to announce the winners of the 2020 Thompson and Brownell Awards! Jill Young, CEMS Nurse is the Thompson Award winner and co-honoree of the Brownell Award along with CEMS student Hope Taylor. Honored for her mental health advocacy and dedication to students, Jill is the embodiment of a school community member who goes “above and beyond” for her students. Jill’s grant “Finding Perfect: A CEMS Read-Along” united not only all students at CEMS, but involved the greater Cape community. Hope’s grant “Inspired Spaces” came about after reading “Finding Perfect” and viewing the film “Angst” (brought to Cape by another Jill Young grant!). The grant sought to support students in a time and place where they sought refuge, and give them encouragement. Thank you to Jill and Hope for their contributions to Cape schools!
