On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, CCS hosted its first large-scale Veterans Day Program. An estimated 500 people were in attendance for the program and we could not be more proud of the presentations made by students through singing, reading, and musical instruments to honor our veterans.

We always want to remember the sacrifice our military men and women have made and continue to make to protect our rights and freedoms. We are so very thankful to them for their service and hope that they felt the love and appreciation we have for them at the program.

THANK YOU, VETERANS!

On Wednesday, 8th grade students had the opportunity to attend the Tools of the Trade event at Wallace State. This technical career fair was organized and hosted by the Cullman Economic Development Office. This was a huge event that included 8th grade students from Cullman County, Winston County, Blount County, and other surrounding areas.

At the event, students learned about careers in many areas, including: utilities, transportation, marketing, radio, horticulture, welding, mechatronics, radiology, dental hygiene, insurance, sales, law enforcement, child care, culinary, cosmetology, nursing, and MUCH, MUCH MORE.

Ms. Tucker's 3rd grade students have been learning about different types of weather. This week they showcased what they have learned about the types of severe weather through team project posters.

Chorus and drama students have been working the last several weeks to prepare for their Christmas performance. On Thursday they took advantage of the open school day to have an extra, uninterrupted rehearsal at the Beech Avenue campus.

Mark your calendar now to come see what they have been working on! It is going to be great!

Even in a society of cashless options, it's so important to understand and know how to count money!

This week Mrs. Vermillion's 2nd grade students spent some extra time working on counting money with mixed coins.

Upper school students who met their first Feed the Need goal had the opportunity to get out of the building for lunch. Their restaurants of choice were Grumpy's and Chick-fil-A. Everyone did a fantastic job of showing great character and good behavior on this quick outing.

Varsity teams and youth teams tipped off their seasons this week and came home with multiple wins!

Congratulations to all the teams who won, but more importantly, thank you to all of the players, coaches, and cheerleaders who have worked to prepare and play their best. Although athletics are not the most important thing in life, they can certainly teach us how to work through hard times, enjoy victories, and keep an humble spirit when interacting with others.

Great job, all!

This week Mrs. Parker's Kindergarten students learned more about the first Thanksgiving. Each of them shared some of what they have learned through their turkey and poem drawings.

*Thanksgiving Holiday Reminder: School will be dismissed November 22-24.

ONLY 2 WEEKS LEFT UNTIL WE PACK 10,000 MEALS!!!!

During WEEK 2 of prayer, we will focus on praying and learning about how GOD PROVIDES!

Our scripture reference is taken from Isaiah.

Isaiah 25:4

For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
