Each day at CCS, students gather for a song of worship, a scripture and time of devotion, and the singing of the doxology.

Some of our scriptures for this week were:

• Acts 1:4-5,8
• Proverbs 9:9-10
• 2 Timothy 4:17-18
• Acts 1:9-11

This week our Kindergarten students got to learn more about what our local city police do to help our community. They had a blast climbing in and out of the police car!

On Friday the Lower School students enjoyed an amazing day of fun and activities for our annual Field Day. This year's theme was "Survivor." Coach Cydney and Coach Nikki did a fantastic job organizing this fun day. Thank you so much to PTF and all the parent volunteers who helped make this day the best!

What "Survivor" Field Day would be complete without a Reptile Show too?! Students enjoyed getting some close up views and learning more about reptiles as a part of this year's field day activities.

Students in Mrs. Ayers' photography class presented their projects that they have been working on. Brooklyn presented a story of her family's heritage and generations through some fantastic close ups of their hands.
