Have A Blessed Summer, Crusaders!
We are thankful for the service and sacrifice of so many families to protect our country and our freedoms. Thank you!
A NOTE FROM MRS. DONNELL
Another school year is in the books! Our newest graduating class has made the leap into adulthood and the next phase of their lives. A whole new world is opening up for each of them with exciting new opportunities. My wish for each of them is that they will continue to seek out God’s will for their lives and work each day to show Christ-like love to all they encounter along the way.
Please make sure you check your emails regularly this summer for any news about CCS. Our Elementary Enrichment will begin on June 5th, our Tuck-in Tuesday videos will begin on Tuesday, May 28th (look for them on our Facebook page) and our High School Math Enrichment will begin on Tuesday, June 4th. You can find all of the details for each of our exciting summer activities and enrichment sessions in our CCS Newsletter.
Field Day and Awards Day were such a blessing to everyone who participated. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to make each day memorable. Our Seniors will walk across that stage tonight (May 24th) and begin their next new adventure. May each of you spend some time reflecting on this school year and anticipating the 2019-2020 school year. May you all find time to spend with family and friends. May you all be blessed by God’s mighty works.
Have a blessed and safe summer!
Blessings,
Mrs. Donnell
