A Note From Mrs. Donnell
November is almost here! Can you believe it? Last week was a very busy week, we had multiple field trips across all grades. Our Sophomore, Junior and Senior students were able to take a trip to the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) in Jennings County and got to be one of the first groups to tour the new Ivy Tech Cyber Security Academy, located on the MUTC base. MUTC is one of the largest training centers in this area for military and first responders all over Indiana. It was a very impressive trip and we enjoyed some Mexican food at Las Chalupas in North Vernon. Thank you to all of the folks who volunteered to transport our students.
Many of our elementary students visited the local pumpkin patches in the last couple of weeks. We have been in prayer for our CCS Volleyball team this week. They have been in Tennessee representing CCS and Christ’s Kingdom. As always, they have represented well.
May each of you get out this weekend and enjoy God’s beauty and find the hidden blessings in all God’s glory.
Blessings,
Mrs. Donnell
