The ROAR

SEE YOU AT THE POLE
Students across the nation gathered around their school flag pole this week to pray.
"See You at the Pole" is a student-initiated, student-organized and student-led event in public schools.
This event reminds us of how very THANKFUL WE ARE to be able TO PRAY WITH OUR STUDENTS at CCS EVERY SINGLE DAY, without hesitation and without fear of persecution. Prayer and praise to God are at the foundation of what we do everyday!
In honor of this event, at CCS, Mr. Yearwood encouraged our students to pray for our country and for students everywhere taking a stand for God in their schools.
BUSY WEEK FOR CHORUS & DRAMA STUDENTS
Upper School Chorus and Drama students have been working hard on their upcoming production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" that will feature loads of singing, dancing, and acting.
You will not want to miss it!
As a break from the work and for some inspiration, this week they traveled to Samford University where they saw "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe."
HEALTHY EATING
Our female athletes learned about eating a healthy, well-balanced diet for peak athletic performance from personal trainer, Victoria Moss.
WHAT'S IN YOUR LUNCHBOX?
Students who were working on their creative writing skills took the opportunity to share with Mr. Yearwood what they had written about things they would not like to see in their lunchbox.
OUR FIRST EVER LETTERMAN'S JACKETS (Upper School)
This year CCS will have its first ever official letterman's jacket!
For many years students stopped ordering jackets, but in the last 5 or so years, the letterman has made a giant comeback. Interestingly enough, their prices are still about the same.
Last week upper school students had the opportunity to look at and try on samples and think about whether or not they were interested. All upper school students are eligible to order. If your student is younger, I would advise considering how much he/she might grow before finishing school.
Our design will feature a navy body with Carolina blue sleeves (a little deeper shade than our typical tshirts). The cost for jackets is roughly $300. I have attached a flyer with specific pricing details based on sizes.
Final orders will be due on October 2nd.
Half of the balance must be paid at the time of the order.
It typically takes about 8 weeks for orders to be completed, so you would have about two months before the remaining balance is due.
VETERANS DAY PROGRAM
Over the next few weeks, students and teachers will be working on a special event for our Veterans.
As a part of this program we would like to share pictures that you may have of family members who have served or are currently serving.
Please watch your email for more information soon!
Picture Day This Week!
School picture day is Wednesday, October 4th.
Students should wear their best uniform for pictures. These photos will be used for the yearbook.
Acoustic Guitars Needed
The upper school guitar class that will begin 2nd semester is looking for acoustic guitars that people might have that they would like to donate to the school. Four guitars are needed.
Spirit Wear Orders
CCS Spirit Wear is still available to order. Orders are processed twice a month, on the 15th and 30th. Details about available designs and ordering instructions can be found in the September 3rd issue of The ROAR .

Encouraging Visitors
Mr. Yearwood may be stuck sitting in the hallway to rest his knee, but that doesn't keep cute little visitors away. Their little smiles and giggles are a great encouragement!
The University of Alabama
2 Big Things with UA this Week:
- Juniors and Seniors got the chance to ask lots of questions about admission requirements, available majors, and scholarship opportunities when we had a UA visitor on campus.
- Sophomores have the opportunity to be nominated by our school to apply for the Capstone Leadership Academy. Mrs. Yearwood has spoken with them and posted first-step details in their Google classroom.
Apple Sauce
Mrs. Rice's class had a great time making fresh apple sauce in honor of Johnny Appleseed Day.
Celebrating More than Academics
We have had several students recently give their lives to God and show that commitment through baptism. We want to celebrate with them! If you have pictures you would like to share, email them to Mrs. Yearwood.
