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:

• 2 Timothy 2:15
• Acts 5:1-4
• Acts 5:17-20
• Ephesians 4:29
• Acts 6:1-4

On Monday, 5th grade students took a special trip to the movie theater to see the new animated film, King of Kings. The film is a story about renowned writer Charles Dickens sharing the story of Jesus Christ with his son, Walter.

Congratulations to the House of Jazz on winning this year's competition in Mrs. Warden's classes. Each year the houses earn points for different activities throughout the year. The winner was announced at then end of the year House of Music Lunch.

Elementary students enjoyed the last visit of the school year from the Bookmobile. This has been such a blessing to our students! If you have an opportunity to thank the local public library, please do!

On Friday, 4th grade students attended the Cullman County Water Festival where they learned about the importance of clean water, proper trash disposal, and taking care of the environment.

On Friday, the seniors took their final walk through the halls of the Beech Campus and the Depot Park Campus. Elementary students enjoyed giving them high-fives and posing for pictures with them like they were celebrities. After awards day the walk was a little more emotional with upper school peers as they gave last hugs and words of encouragement.

This year we had a dream and a goal for our music students to grow and learn more about using their talents to glorify God through leading worship. They have done a fantastic job this year under the direction of Mrs. Warden! We are so excited about their progress and we love having them lead worship at events, for devotion, and for weekly chapel services. We are praying that God will continue to grow them in this area so that they may continue to serve and glorify Him in their local churches as well.

Faculty and staff were treated to a special breakfast from the Brooks family. This was a fantastic treat at a time of the year that is so busy that grabbing a bite to eat is one of the last things on list that gets done!

Wow! What an afternoon of celebration with upper school students!

On Friday we celebrated the academic accomplishments of our students in grades 7-12. It was a packed house for this event and we couldn't be more proud that our parents and families got to see a glimpse of their hard work this year. Students were recognized for their excellence in academics, leadership, Christlike Character, and scholarships earned. Congratulations to all!
