As we celebrate CCS’s 50th anniversary, we are excited to connect our school’s history with a special moment in Indiana athletics.

Columbus Christian School was founded in 1976, the same year Indiana University won the NCAA men’s basketball championship with an undefeated season. In honor of our 50th year and IU’s appearance in the College Football National Championship game on Monday, January 19, we will be collecting a Love Offering for Adalee Davis.

Our goal is to raise $1,976, recognizing the year CCS was founded.

If we reach this goal by the end of the Homecoming basketball games on January 17, CCS-Columbus and CCSNV will celebrate with a two-hour delay on Tuesday, January 20.

Details:
- All donations go directly to Adalee Davis.
- Participation is voluntary.
- Donations may be given to the main office, teachers, or during Homecoming activities.

Thank you for supporting one of our own while celebrating our school, community, and Indiana history.

Go Hoosiers!

With winter weather being upon us, we want to remind families that our students will still enjoy outdoor recess whenever the “feels like” temperature is 25°F or above. Fresh air and movement are important, even in the winter!

Please be sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather, including:

• A warm coat
• Hat and gloves/mittens
• Long pants
• Labeling items with your child’s name is always a big help, too!

As temperatures drop and winter weather begins to make an appearance, we want to remind our Crusader families to stay alert for any potential weather-related delays or closures.

Our top priority is always the safety of our students, staff, and families. In the event of inclement weather, we will communicate any schedule changes through:

• Rooms (push notification, text, & email)
  
• Our school social media page
  

Please take a moment to double-check your contact information in our system so you don’t miss important updates.

Stay warm, stay safe, and let’s be ready for whatever winter brings!

Families may reach out to Mrs. Glasser or Mrs. Williams with questions regarding our upcoming Mission Trip. Students must turn in their mission trip application by January 30th.

The Crusader Crazies are switching things up and moved to a new section to help keep the main gym entrance safe. You’ll also find the CCS Cheerleaders on the far side of the gym now - our banners made the journey as well! New spots, same big Crusader energy! 🙌

Use the link below to order your athletic photos! Your Passcode will be your athlete's firstlast name (no spaces, all lowercase). If they are in multiple sports, they will be listed for you to choose which you'd like to order.

I you have any issues, please email tamimohsphotography@gmail.com.

Sports physicals can be completed during your student’s annual wellness visit with their primary doctor - schedule that appointment to avoid any delays in participation.

We’re excited to announce the relaunch of our RaiseRight Gift Card Program! This program has been part of our school family for many years, but it’s time to bring it back in full force as we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year.

Here’s how it works:

• Purchase gift cards (physical or digital) from hundreds of popular retailers through RaiseRight.

• Use them for your everyday shopping—groceries, gas, restaurants, clothing, travel, and more.

• Every purchase earns a rebate that benefits both your family and our school!

The best part?

• 50% of everything earned between now and May 31, 2026, will be credited directly to your tuition for the 2026–2027 school year.
• The other 50% helps cover program costs and support our school.

This is a simple way to reduce your family’s tuition costs while helping Columbus Christian School thrive—all by making purchases you already make every day.

Getting Started:

1. Visit RaiseRight.

2. Use our enrollment code: EBD8F1941L567.

3. Shop, save, and support!

Thank you for joining us in bringing RaiseRight back stronger than ever. Together, we can make a big impact for our families and our school!
