Winter Fun 2019

The cold days and nights of winter only fuel creative ways for students to have fun, stay warm, and show that Warrior spirit.

Student Government hosted a Bonfire for 7th-12th grades in January at the Rose’s home. Audacia 34pts, Fides 30pts, Sapientia 26pts

To bring that House Spirit to the new building, the Houses had an Advisor door decorating contest. See below. The Houses did a great job! Sapientia – 1st place 30pts, Audacia 2nd place 20pts, and Fides 3rd place 10pts.

There was also a contest for re-doing (updating) their Open House tri-fold boards. To see those boards, visit our Commons area, as they are out on display. Audacia – 1st place 30pts, Fides 2nd place 20pts, Sapientia – 3rd place 10pts.

The 1st of February kicked off with a yummy Pancake Breakfast hosted by Student Government!

Now back under one roof, Student Government was finally able to celebrate Fall sports (Soccer, Cross Country and Volleyball) and Winter sports (Basketball and Swimming) with a CCS Pep Rally. Class scream competitions. Practicing “the wave” with the grammar school. Six legged races with grammar school students and seniors. And high fives with the athletes as they ran through the student “tunnel.” CCS Warriors still have LOTS of spirit!!

And House Audacia hosted the “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Winter Dance. Points for those in attendance – Audacia 56pts, Fides 42pts, Sapientia 46pts

Community and Clubs

Second semester kicked off with the grand opening of our new building and two amazing Homecoming Varsity basketball wins!

The schedule for 2nd semester now allows time for us to resume our Monday morning assembly as well as start our clubs and community groups.

For the 7th-12th grades, there is the Board Game Club, the Wargaming/RPG Club, and the newly established Spanish Club.

S.A.B.M (the Society for the Art of Biblical Masculinity) Club returned this year and motivated the girls to start the GLOW (God Lighting Our Way) Bible study club.

Two other new clubs this year are the Photography Club and the Knitting Club.

Our Community Groups are divided by Houses, as well as divided by age. Mr. Leland, Mr. Morton, and Mr. Caldwell have the 9th-12th grade boys by House.
