ADMINISTRATION UPDATE
Dear CCS Families,
Happy Vacation! We hope you all have a relaxing, fun week next week. Our students and staff have certainly been working hard and deserve some time off to play and spend time with their families.
On a daily basis, we get to see some really wonderful things throughout our hallways, classrooms and playgrounds. This week was definitely no exception. Some of our favorite sights this week included:
Watching entire classrooms go to the preliminary grade-level spelling bees to cheer on their classmates who were participating;
Seeing finalists in the Schoolwide Spelling Bee support one another with encouraging smiles and hand squeezes while their classmates in the audience showed support with signs and cheers - congratulations to School Bee Champion Deirdre Higgins!
Observing some of youngest students persevering with the very serious task of tying their shoes in the hallway;
Attending a student-created puppet show (and dance party) with Kindergarten about Acts of Kindness, written and performed by a group of fourth grade students for various audiences;
Watching a fifth grader jump into a Kindergarten PE class and participate - the younger students loved it;
Playing/watching a spirited game of basketball between Omega students and CCS staff members;
Hearing second graders share their work from studies of Australia and Rainforests with visiting family members.
- Hearing wonderful music when the CVU band visited CCS to play for and with the 7-8 band.
We will miss the smiling faces of our CCS students next week - we look forward to seeing everyone on March 5th!
Kind Regards,
Stephanie, Jen and Cassandra

BIG CHANGE ROUND UP AT CCS
Hello CCS Community,
I am writing to you today to invite CSS to participate in the Big Change Roundup for Kids, which is the largest signature fundraising event for the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital. Your gift will bring abundant hope and healing to pediatric patients and their families by helping UVM Children’s Hospital advance many of their programs and services. CCS students are encouraged to bring in coins to donate. I have also set up a link where faculty, staff, and families can make donations: https://goo.gl/eKFJuu. On the site, you will see that there is a goal of $2,000. My hope is that we will be able to reach this goal, but any donation can make a difference!
Reasons CCS is interested in the Big Change Roundup:
It’s hard to believe that some of our students face bigger challenges than we’d expect a child to face. A large number of Vermont students spend time at UVM Children’s Hospital. By participating in the Big Change Roundup, we can support those children and their families, making their visits as good an experience as we can. The Big Change Roundup helps to fund special patient programs, life-saving equipment, education and research to find cures for childhood diseases. Please help support with a donation of any kind. Last day for donations will be March 19, 2018. Any change makes a change!
Thank you very much,
Nihad Cekovic, K-2 PE Teacher
