Spot On PE Activities
There have been a few warmer weather days that the students have been able to get outside for some physical activity, but even when we have to stay in, PE activities are always fun! Coach Morris, Mrs. Nikki, and Coach Rowell are always coming up with fun ways to exercise those muscles and have fun in the process.

The CHOOSE ACT Has Passed!
Governor Kay Ivey on Thursday signed the CHOOSE Act (House Bill 129) into law.
Basic components of the bill:
- An Education Savings Account will be $7,000 to be used by qualifying students to pay for tuition and other educational expenses.
- The first and second year (2025 & 2026) those families earning less than 300% of the federal poverty level will be eligible with some priorities.
- Starting in 2027 the bill will be “universal.” All will be eligible.
- Participating schools must be accredited. (CCS is accredited by AdvancEd / Cognia.)
- Transparency and testing is required by a participating school with reporting to the Alabama Department of Revenue.
- The law will be administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue.
- The independence of the school and its religious distinctions are protected. The money goes to the parent, not the school. It is directed to the school by the parent.
