A Note from Mrs. Wilson
Hello CCS Families!
We have had so many wonderful things going on here in our building lately. It has been wonderful welcoming guests back into our buildings as restrictions begin to lift, and our world continues a shift. Stay on the lookout for upcoming events, as our calendar is filling up as spring arrives.
Have a wonderful week, and thank you for being apart of our school community!
Mrs. Jessica Wilson, Principal

2021-2022 CCS Basketball Wrap-up
What a terrific season for our student athletes. From November through February seventy-seven (77) students participated in our basketball program, many for the first time.
Our K-4 program started in January and ran Saturday mornings through February 26. Under the direction of Eric and Dave Hussey with the assistance of Deb and Tessa Love, Ava Strazzeri, Jackson Tanguay, and Ben Bourbeau, our first time players began learning the fundamentals of the game and had a great time doing so.
2021 was the introduction of our first 3/4 Girls team. The girls worked hard at learning the game and competing in the Merrimack Basketball League with Eric and Dave Hussey as coaches. They made the playoffs and finished in the middle of the pack. Truly a fantastic first season and a great foundation to build upon.
Our 5/6 Boys, coached by Tony Cipriano and Tim Emery, showed tremendous growth this season and made it to the championship games of both the Suncook Valley League and MBL, finishing in second place in both leagues.
The MS Girls, under Gordon Bilodeau and Cori Casey had a terrific season completing the regular season with a 7-1 record and made it to the championship game. They came up a little short in the finals but played hard until the end.
Lastly, the MS Boys, coached by Julia Volatto and Dave won the Suncook Valley League championship in an exciting game over Farmington. It was a fitting finish to the end of the season. Congratulations!
Thank you to all who participated and came out to cheer our players of all ages.
Mr. Cipriano
