Youth Cheer Summer Clinic
Coach Brittany finished up Youth Cheer Clinic in July. The kids are doing a wonderful job and loving the chance to show their Lion spirit!
Painting Additions in the Lions' Den
Volleyball Practices and Playdates
Youth Volleyball Camp
Coach Cydney took some time in July to work with some of our young volleyball players. During the camp, players worked through drills to increase their skills and have fun too.
The future is bright for CCS Volleyball!
Teacher Planning and Professional Learning
Pancakes with Santa
We love Santa! (aka: Mr. Delbert)
On July 27th he stopped by during his summer vacation to read a story to the boys and girls about the first Christmas, the night that Jesus was born. While he was there, he enjoyed some pancakes... with syrup, of course!
Preschool & Kindergarten Readiness Days
The 2024-2025 CCS Preschool and Kindergarten classes are going to be fantastic! In July teachers and most of the students took a couple of days to get in some practice at what a day looks like at CCS. During the event students learned routines, met new friends, and got to know their teachers.
Cornhole Baseball Tournament
The Cullman Commission on Aging hosted a Cornhole Baseball Tournament on July 27th. It was a blast! We loved being able to host the space for this fun event.
Court & Gym Construction
Construction continues in the gym as our hard-working dads have built ramps, pour concrete, raised doorways, drilled for volleyball standards, and all the little planning and steps that it has taken to get us this far. It has certainly been a BIG JOB! We still have sanding, painting, and refinishing to go, but it's going to look great.
Thank you to all the volunteers who have made it possible!
Student Ambassadors with Servant Hearts
The CCS Class Ambassadors have been working hard already this summer! In just a short time they have proven themselves to be incredibly helpful as they've been eager to serve. So far they have served to help with Pancakes with Santa, Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness Days, Welcome Back for Teachers, and Open House events.
You will see them throughout the year this year helping in lots of areas! They are doing a fantastic job!

Packed Open House Events
Wow! What a great night of celebration to kick off the new school year! Open House events at the lower school and the upper school were packed last Thursday evening. As we looked around at standing room only crowds at both locations, it was hard to hold back the tears of gratefulness to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
It’s going to be an AMAZING YEAR at CCS!

Lobster T-Shirts
CCS has a new gym floor! The floor was previously owned by the Maine Celtics, a feeder team to the Boston Celtics. Their logo, which is still on the floor until refinishing, is a giant green lobster.
Our CCS mascot is still a LION, and the lobster will soon be gone, but we think it's fun to embrace it for just a little while. After all..... the Crimson Tide has an elephant, the Auburn Tigers have an eagle, so why can't the Cullman Christian Lions have a lobster?
Just for fun and to commemorate this event, for a limited time, CCS Lobster T-shirts will be available for $15. Order online at https://www.cullmanchristian.org/spiritwear
CCS Apparel Store
Prices and details for ordering coming soon!
CCS Caps
The Archery Team is selling CCS caps for $25. Contact Mrs. Nikki Ayers to order.
Hot Lunches
Hot lunch orders for September will be taken soon. Watch your email for ordering information from Mrs. Smothers. Lunch orders must be placed through Gradelink Lunch by the deadline to participate.
