How do we begin the day at CCS?

With a song and Bible teaching! We love our morning devotion time!

At the lower school campus, PK through 6th Grade begin the day in the gym with a song of worship, a scripture devotion, and the doxology. For students in the upper school, morning singing and devotion happens between 1st and 2nd period classes each day.

Some of this week's scriptures were:

• Genesis 25:29-34
• Genesis 22:2
• Genesis 19:23-26

Preschool and Kindergarten students learned more about putting on the armor of God in this week's chapel with some helpful props.

Rising 7th graders had the opportunity this week to spend two days at the upper school campus. On Wednesday students experienced a typical core day which includes English, Math, Science, History, and Bible class. On Thursday the students returned to participate in an elective day schedule. Electives include classes like: Music, Art, Latin, Logic, Theatre, Chorus, and more. Students had a great time and we look forward to having them at the upper school next fall!

Seniors have been working on college applications and scholarship applications all year. This week they had some expert help on campus as they applied for Wallace scholarships.

****Reminder: Scholarship opportunities are posted in Google Classroom and on the CCS Guidance & Counseling Website.****

Hooray for 100 days! Students enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school this week with all sorts of activities, special snacks, and outfits.

8th grade students in Mrs. Eady's Earth Science class completed presentations this week in a creative way. This project to learn more about substances and minerals included students formatting information Minecraft-style. The class chosen winner was Cosmic Sapphire created by Liberty Johns and Faith Murphy.

You will see smiles all around with friends at lunchtime! Our lunch areas a packed, but the we are so thankful to have a space.

In upper school chapel this week students learned more about listening and responding to God's word through a message brought by Pastor Josh Sellers. The scripture focus came from James 1:19-21.

A student favorite each week is Art Class with Mrs. Griffin. This time to explore and be creative is a great compliment and enrichment to academic learning.

We love seeing our students stand up to take lead roles in everyday activities. Many are growing their confidence and boldness to stand in front of peers to lead worship, pray, lead devotion, and read scripture.

Students met with Coach Parker this week to discuss plans for Golf season.

In alignment with our Cullman school systems, Cullman Christian will be closed on Monday, January 26th due to uncertain weather conditions.
