CEHS grad Ben Berman talked to Ellen DeGeneres about making free pizzas for his community and raising money for local Philadelphia charities. During the pandemic, Ben started making pizza as a way to connect with friends. To maintain social distance - he lowers the pizza to the street using using a makeshift pulley. The idea took off! His pizza is so popular, he has a weekly lottery. People from around the world - who will never get to taste one of Ben's pizzas - are donating. Ben covers all production costs. Donations go to Philly charities fighting hunger and homelessness. To help continue his efforts, Ellen and her friends at Shutterfly gave Ben $10,000! So that is $44,000 and counting!

In an effort to have our schools open next week, we have developed a bus schedule that will hopefully only have to be implemented for the week of December 7-11, 2020. There will have to be double runs in order to provide students with transportation to and from school. The times listed will be arrival times at schools in the morning, and departure times from school in the afternoon. 2nd wave bus students should plan to be at their bus stops 15 minutes after their normal time. We are asking parents who can transport their own students to school next week, to do so in order to help out with this transportation challenge. Please check your email to view the schedule. Thank you.

Effective Thursday, December 3, all Cape Elizabeth Schools will transition to full remote learning. Please check your email for the letter from Superintendent Wolfrom regarding the positive case.

UPDATE: Massachusetts has been removed from the travel exemption, people coming to ME from MA must either quarantine for 14 days or receive a negative COVID-19 test with a sample taken no longer than 72 hours from arrival in ME. This will go into effect on Monday 11/16/20.
