We are getting ready to welcome back students on Tuesday, August 11th!

Are you counting down the days until school begins like we are?

We are so excited to see what God has in store this year for CCS students, staff, and families!

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8

July Happenings

Poppins in the Park

What a fun night! On July 11th many of our students spent the evening singing and dancing to some of their favorite pieces from Mary Poppins.

This event is for the entire community—from our youngest Future Lions to our biggest fans! Bring your family, invite your friends, and come help us kick off another exciting year of CCS Athletics.

Open House

This year’s Open House will be a come-and-go event from 3:00-6:00 on Monday, August 10th at both campus locations (Beech and Omniplex). We are hopeful that this open set up will help the flow of traffic and hallway congestion as we navigate some growing pains. Families are encouraged to come for schedule pick-ups, meet teachers, ask questions, and sign up for things such as PTF and Booster Clubs.

Open House will also be happening in the same time frame for the Lower School. If you have students on both campuses you should have plenty of time to visit both locations.

XC Schedule

On July 14th Cross Country athletes and parents met with Coach Heaton to learn more about the upcoming season. The team will have a solid, competitive schedule this fall.

Go Lions!
