Daily scripture and life lessons are a part of every morning at CCS! Whether it is from Mr. Yearwood, a teacher, a guest, or student leaders, it is the foundation of everything that we do.

Some of the focus scriptures this week were:

• 2 Thessalonians 3:3
• Luke 10:25
• Luke 10:33-36
• Psalm 42:1
• Psalm 1

It was an incredible week of love and appreciation this week at CCS! We have the best parents in the world!

Parents and students poured out their hearts this week to show teachers how thankful they are for them. From our favorite candies, to breakfast, to lunches, to an afternoon coffee pick-me-up, to baskets of goodies and much more; our week was full of surprises!

Thank you to everyone who had a part in showing appreciation for our faculty and staff. It is an honor to serve the Lord and our CCS families!

The Spring Book Fair was a hit! Students in PreK through 6th grade enjoyed visiting the fair and finding lots of books and other items. This fair was coordinated with a Christian company. We really enjoyed the selection!

Thank you, Mrs. Candase for all your hard work with the book fair!

6th grade students had a great time on the annual FAWN field trip.

FAWN is an acronym for Forestry Awareness Week Now. It is a program for sixth graders to learn about Alabama’s natural resources and environmental issues. The lessons are taught by resource professionals from forest industry and state and federal agencies, and knowledgeable, engaged forest landowners. The goal of the lesson is to present the science-based facts and truth about Alabama’s tremendous forest resource and its importance to their lives.

Sometimes rainy weather calls for a few adjustments. On Thursday morning this was the case. No worries though! Our teachers adjusted and kept the learning going. Some of the younger classes met in groups in the gym until the rain was clear. Students in the upper school sat in the floor for class and waited about carrying in tables and chairs until the rain stopped.

Coach Cydney and the upper school volleyball teams spent a few afternoons this week getting charged up and ready for a new season. 22 girls came out this year! This is a fantastic number! We will be able to have three teams: Jr. High (middle school), JV, and Varsity. Our AHSAA area will include: CCS, Addison, Meek, and St. Bernard.

Great job girls!

Upper school history classes took the day on Wednesday to enjoy learning more about our hometown. The Cullman County Museum staff hosted student groups on walking tours in the downtown area. They learned about some of the history of our city and much more!

Mrs. Law and Mr. Roy treated the seniors to a special lunch treat on Friday. It's so hard to believe they will be graduating soon! We will miss seeing them, but we know that God has big plans for their futures as they begin the next chapter.

Rising 7th grade students (current 6th) are taking the opportunity to visit the upper school to experience a day in the life on our other campus. On Friday half of the students visited. On Monday the remaining half will spend the day at the upper school. This opportunity will hopefully help them get out their jitters and feel more confident about the transition in the fall.

6th grade students did a fantastic job this past Friday helping serve teachers lunch. As a part of Staff Appreciation Week, the PTF provided a steak dinner for the CCS staff. The students enjoyed bussing the tables and serving teachers.

7th grade students enjoyed a simulation of feudalism in Europe this week. The lords had to kneel before the king to receive their manor while the serfs were bound to the land (aka: a desk leg)!

Four of our sophomores (Aby, Jack, Emma Grace, and Zoe) will be interviewing for the Chamber of Commerce Youth Leadership Program on Monday morning. On Friday the students practiced their answers and skills with Mrs. Yearwood and Mrs. Wilkins in mock interviews. We are praying for them and are confident that if they are chosen they will represent both CCS and Christ in an outstanding way!

It may be the end of the school year, but each day still includes pledging to the American Flag, the Christian Flag, and the Bible. This is an important practice as we learn more about how to give our lives to God and serve.

Each school year we host two major fundraising events. One of them is our Feed the Need project in the fall. The other is our upcoming golf tournament, the CCS Annual Golf Classic. These events help provide the financial stability needed to keep our tuition costs low for our families.

The Golf Classic event is scheduled for Monday, June 24th so it's time for us to begin lining up teams and sponsors. We need your help to spread the word!

Attached you will find two documents: one for team registration and the other for sponsorships. Please feel free to download, post, and distribute to the people you know. You can also direct them to our webpage at cullmanchristian.org/golf-tournament for information and online registration.

The PTF will be having a yard sale over the summer. They are looking for outgrown or gently used uniforms. Donations can be dropped off at the school office starting now. Donations should be washed and free of stains.

If you want to participate in setting up or organizing the yard sale please let Mrs. Candase know.

The varsity coaches and players will be hosting a basketball skills camp for students in grades 2-6 on June 6th and 7th from 1:00-3:00 PM each day in the CCS Gymnasium. The camp will include instruction from varsity coaches and players. Boys and girls are welcome!
