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:

• Hebrews 12:1
• Luke 11:2-4
• Exodus 16:19-20
• Psalm 34:18
• Genesis 50:16-21

Congratulations to Zoe Powell on being selected to represent CCS in the Dripping Springs DAR Good Citizens Essay Contest. Students were honored at a recent DAR meeting.

Congratulations to Chasen Hampton on another great performance at the Cullman County Spelling Bee!

Youth Basketball Teams and Cheerleaders were recognized at the last home varsity games on Monday. All of these young Lions have had great seasons. Thank you to all the parents and coaches who make it possible!

Bake Sale day is a fan favorite for elementary students. Thank you to everyone who sent items and volunteered!

The upper school SGA (Student Government Association) had a successful sale on Tuesday and Wednesday. Proceeds will be used for the Spring Formal.

Mrs. Rice's 1st grade students enjoyed taking their coffee cups (filled with hot chocolate) to lunch. They look so grown up!

Chorus and drama students are working hard to prepare for the spring musical, Mary Poppins.

Current 6th grade parents met with Mr. and Mrs. Yearwood on Sunday to learn more about starting upper school next year.

Each week students in the upper school hear from a guest speaker during chapel service. At the end of the service students and staff gather together to pray over the speaker. This week's special guest was a CCS Alumni, Pastor Parker Allen.

This may sound silly, but our self-serve snack cart is a great example of the character our upper school students exhibit each day. Our "snack stand" complete with snack cart and drink cooler functions totally on the honor system. Students make their own change keep each other accountable. They do a fantastic job!

Seniors finished up making selections for graduation. Cap, gowns, and diplomas will arrive later this spring.

Admissions officially opened for new families this week! We are excited to offer the opportunity for more families to call CCS home.

Did you know that upper school students have a non-traditional class schedule? CCS middle and high school class schedules are non-traditional blocks that take out the monotony and build enrichment opportunities.

Students and teachers alike love this schedule!

Special THANK YOU to Yearwood Construction for sponsoring neon t-shirts for the varsity teams and to Southern Vinyl for printing all the shirt orders!

Last week was National School Counseling Week. Someone.... we haven't figured out who yet.... sent flowers to Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Yearwood.

To our mystery giver:

Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers! We love what we do and are so very thankful to be a small part of all the good things happening at CCS. Thank you for always being so supportive of our work as we help guide and guard the hearts of our students.

And.... we will eventually figure out who you are!

Tell your friends! Open Enrollment Season is NOW UNDERWAY!

There are two application dates for the 2026-2027 academic year – one for renewing family applications and one for new family applications.

• A renewing family application pertains to a family with participating student(s) that received a CHOOSE Act ESA digital wallet for the 2025-2026 academic year. These families can renew current participating students and add siblings of participating students starting December 15, 2025, through the application deadline of March 31, 2026. A renewing family must renew. It is not an automatic renewal.
• A new family application pertains to a family that has not previously applied for CHOOSE Act Alabama; or a family applicant that applied for the 2025-2026 academic year but was either not awarded, or did not complete the award affidavit in ClassWallet. These families can apply starting on January 2, 2026, through the application deadline of March 31, 2026.

Ideas for Candy Grams include:

• Sending one to a friend
• Sending one from parents to student
• Sending one to each child in the class (No trip to Walmart) :-)
• Sending one to a teacher
• Sending one to a sibling

Forms and money should be sent to your student's teacher. The last day to turn in orders is February 9th. Candy Grams will be delivered on the 13th by a special valentine friend.

Friday night's games were the beginning of post-season play for the Lions.

The Varsity Girls defeated Addison to claim a spot in the playoffs. The next game for the girls will be Monday night for the Area Championship against Meek. The outcome of that game will determine where and who the girls will play in the next round on Friday.

The Varsity Boys ended their season on Friday night in area play against Addison. Congratulations to the boys on a hard-fought, dedicated season!

Youth teams also began post-season play this weekend in county tournament games. We are proud of all our players and coaches for successful seasons! Win or lose, they have all had a great season of games and learning.

Congratulations to the 6th Grade Boys on advancing to play next weekend! The game will be on Saturday, February 14th at 8:00 PM at Vinemont Middle School. The Lions will face the GH Raiders for the championship.

Go Lions!
