A Note from the Principal
Our Seniors seemed to have a wonderful time on their trip this week. We were able to see some awesome pictures and enjoy their videos. May we all continue to pray for each of them as they set out on the next phase of their lives and that they continue to glorify God in all that they say and do.
Next week is very event-filled. We have graduation ceremonies, Field Day, awards ceremonies, field trips, final exams and baseball/softball tournaments. We also need folks to work the Indy 500 store to help fund our Athletic Department. Just typing all of this makes me very tired!
As the days quickly pass this next week may we all be diligent in “finishing strong” and remember these words from Proverbs 22:29 -
Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings:...
May each of us “Finish Strong” and have the joy of standing before kings as the 2017 - 2018 school year draws to an end.
Blessings,
Mrs. Donnell

MERCHANDISE PIT CREW
The Indianapolis 500 is here and Coach Roth is looking for volunteers to work in the gift shop at the race! Below you'll find dates & times. It is an all day event but it is worth it! Thanks to this event, CCS can pay for referees, uniforms, equipment, etc. and the cost does not fall back on the families as they do at most schools.
Is this your first time? It seems overwhelming but it's actually quite fun. You meet in the morning and Coach Roth drives you to the event because he gets "special" parking ; )
Plan to pack a lunch and drinks - the food up there is pricey! You will operate a cash register in an air conditioned gift shop. The registers are super easy to work and Coach is there to help you.
Want to find out from someone who's been there? Contact the school office and ask Lori or Tammy what it's like.

2018-2019 School Supplies
- Those of you who like to shop at the store will be able to easily access your child's classroom supply list from your phone.
- Those of you who like to shop online can do so from wherever you are. And, if you use Amazon Smile, you will be helping out the school even more by choosing Columbus Christian School.
Why is PTF offering this? Because we don't want to go door to door selling cookie dough. PTF is taking on more responsibilities so we can help build up the CCS community by hosting events that honor God and create opportunities to meet people, serve others and have fun. We want to help make the CCS experience easy to navigate, friendly and enriching for all. To offset costs, we are providing opportunities such as TeacherLists.com, BoxTops, Coke Rewards, Paper Recycling, etc.
Thank you, CCS families, for all your support!
