Thunder Post!
May 19, 2023
It’s Definitely “Maycember”
Hello CCS Famiies,
As you know, the final month of the school year is a busy sprint to the finish, and this year is no different! This week has been an example of that, with several different activities happening at any given time.
The PTO Chipotle Dinner Fundraiser took place on Tuesday evening. Thank you to all who came to support this important opportunity and to Amy Nogowski for making all the arrangements!
On Thursday, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all had the opportunity to go to Greenfield Village for a lovely spring field trip. The students were able to explore history in this lovely location. Thank you to Mrs. Karczynski, Mrs. Giammalva, and Mrs. Elliott for putting this trip together and to all the parents who chaperoned and drove so that it could be possible. It was definitely a day to remember!
The students have continued to work through the three-week Spring Window of the NWEA test. This test is the most widely used standardized test amongst private schools in Michigan, and the benefit of this test is that we get to see the growth that has taken place since the beginning of the school year until now. You will receive your child’s NWEA report, along with his/her report card, in a mailing after the end of the school year.
Don’t forget – the Parent Appreciation Breakfast and Success Night are right around the corner on this coming Tuesday. We look forward to seeing everyone there! This time of year is a time to celebrate, and that we will do! In the meantime, please encourage your students to finish strong:
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)
Be sure to check out the list of events at the end, which has all of the updated dates listed.
Please read on for more updates and information....

ATHLETICS
CCS hosted the Cross Country meet this week, so a couple of the students ran some warmups in the hallway. (Actually they were coerced into participating in the picture, and Nathan seemed to be the only one to enjoy it!!)
We had three students who placed last night - for Varsity, Abby placed 2nd; and for JV, Ben placed 4th and Micah placed 5th. Congratulations to these students, and to all of the students running and representing CCS!
A sincere thanks to our coaches and the many parents (and grandparents!) and other volunteers who graciously gave of their time to help run the meet! Everyone did a great job; it was a very well-run meet!
