You can help the Cadillac Area Public Schools win a $25,000 grant.

The grant is from Pepsi through their Refresh Everything grant contest.  Challenge Days at CHS has been selected as a worthy candidate for the grant that would pay for another Challenge Day event at Cadillac Area Public Schools.   

The idea will win based on the most votes from across the nation.  There are approximately 350 ideas in the $25,000 category, and school leaders are hoping the community will help push CAPS into the top ten vote-getters by the end of May.

About Challenge Day:  Challenge Day teaches students to connect with their peers and with the adults in their lives, and to treat others with acceptance, love and respect.  The message of Challenge Day is that we must accept ourselves just as we are, and that self-acceptance breeds greater kindness and empathy toward others.  Challenge Day encourages creating a community in which students feel “safe, loved and celebrated.”
