A Note from Mrs. Wilson
Hello CCS Families!
What a wonderful couple of weeks it has been here at CCS! Muffins with Moms was a fantastic event, and it was amazing to see so many faces come together for a community event here at CCS. Be sure to keep an eye on our calendar for events, field trips, and end of the year activities!
Have a wonderful week, and thank you for being apart of our school community!
Mrs. Jessica Wilson, Principal
Grandparent Luncheon, May 26th. Rain or Shine!
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, or towels to enjoy a bagged lunch with students out on the field. This event will be held rain or shine! If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll be having picnic spaces available in our gym and hallways.
RSVP flyers went home with students on Friday, May 6th, and are due back with payment on Monday, May 16th.
If anyone from the community is interested in joining us that day to eat lunch with students that may not have guests, please stop by the main office here at school to complete an RSVP form. I have also attached the form to this newsletter.

Coming Soon: The House History Program
with Erin Moulton
Saturday, May 21st at 6pm at the Grange
The best thing about tracking down the history of a house is that your research subject usually stays in one place! And yet, house history projects give us the opportunity to access and explore records we also see in genealogical projects: newspapers, land deeds, city directories and more. Join us to delve into the history that is underfoot each day.
Erin E. Moulton writes books and tracks dead people. An incorrigible story lover, Erin is the author of Flutter, Tracing Stars, Chasing the Milky Way and Keepers of the Labyrinth. In addition to her creative pursuits, Erin has over 12 years of experience tracking down interesting real-life questions at the reference desk and is a librarian and genealogist. She holds a BA from Emerson College, an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a certificate in genealogical research from Boston University. When she isn’t searching for just the right word or just the right clue, she can be found teaching people of all ages about writing, publishing and research. Visit her online at www.erinemoulton.com.
