CCS students give back to the school and to their community all throughout the year.  Below are highlights from some recent service opportunities.

House Fides and House Sapientia spent part of their House meeting time during February making over 75 Valentine cards to be delivered to senior citizens at local nursing homes, reminding them that they are loved and not forgotten. (5pts each)

House Audacia organized a day for its members to come clean out and organize the attic space above the stage for approx. 3hrs on a Saturday.  Thank you!
(54pts community service)

Student Government leaders spent part of their meeting time surprising and blessing the Upper School teachers by cleaning their rooms (emptying trash cans and vacuuming).  Leadership is servanthood.  Thank you, SG, for leading well, by serving others.

Ongoing throughout the year, Student Government tithes a portion of its profits from school events to support the global community through an organization called Kiva.

Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005, with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. They celebrate and support people looking to create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. Currently the Student Government leaders are helping a young man with his schooling costs in Nigeria as well as supporting local farmers in Haiti and Ghana.

The CCS Upper School Winter Masquerade Dance was held on Feb. 25 from 7-11pm in the CCS gym. Dress was semi-formal and students arrived wearing all sorts of fun, decorative masks.

But it didn’t take long for the masks to come off and the dancing to begin. 

Student Government’s Social Prefect, Chandler Lawing, and her team did a great job with the music, the food, the decorations, and the fun.

And who doesn’t enjoy a Photo Booth??

Party, Play, and Pastors –

House Fides hosted, coordinated, and threw a party for a 4th grader whose parents won the bid on the “Fides Birthday Party in a Basket” from last year’s Gala.  There were cupcakes, decorations, a specially designed school rock, and singing.  I hear that the birthday girl had a “howling good time!”  Well done House Fides!

In January, CCS Theater Class presented…
 As a comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You,” is a charming story set in the 20’s in New York, where two young co-workers fall in love and strive to make their engagement work despite their family’s drastic differences. The class did a super job!

In February, Covenant Classical School hosted a Pastors’ BREAKFAST!  The students invited their pastors from Concord, Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Kannapolis to this special breakfast to enjoy food and fellowship, be prayed for by our students, and learn more about how God is working through our school. It was a sweet time for all!
