Crime Stoppers of Houston Presents, "A Parent's Guide to Cyber Safety"
- There are apps that allow kids to create a fake profile and talk to people?

Spring Fling Raffle Tickets
Congratulations Colt Community! The first "Ticket Turn In" raised $2,706. The April 4th prize winners were Taylor Tran (PK4) and Zoe Meuser (8th)! Taylor won a $20 gift card to Baskin Robins and Zoe won a Colt tumbler.
The second "Ticket Turn-in Thursday" for Spring Fling raffle tickets is this Thursday, April 11th. Students should bring their raffle ticket envelopes containing sold raffle tickets with money collected and turn in to their homeroom teacher. Students may earn a chance to win clothing passes, a Spring Fling T-shirt and Homework Passes. Also, for every 12 books sold, a student’s name will be entered into a weekly drawing to win gift cards, Colt prizes and more!
Want to be in the running for a weekly prize? Students' names will be entered into a weekly Colt prize drawing for every 12 books sold. Prizes include $20 gift cards and CCCS Spirit Store items. Top sellers will win a $100 Amazon gift card, runner up wins a custom cake ($100 value) made by our very own, Ms. Ponce. And…if we reach our $23k goal, CCCS students will win an epic CUPCAKE PARTY on May 1st!
Did you know… that the class that sell the most tickets wins a cake pop basket?
The CCCS community supports the parish Spring Fling raffle with the sales of raffle tickets. A portion of the proceeds benefit our students by providing operating dollars to the school. This fundraising helps to bridge the gap between tuition fees and the actual cost to educate each student.
Ticket counters needed! We need help with counting raffle tickets on “Ticket Turn in Thursdays” in April and the last Friday of April. Join us in the Jones room at 8:00 for coffee and counting. This is a great way to earn volunteer hours! Thank you to the wonderful group of parents that counted tickets last Thursday!
Thank you for your support!
