During House meetings on Tuesday, October 15th, we decided to engage in a little pumpkin carving fun! Each house was given three pumpkins and asked to create a pumpkin that showed their House spirit, that was humorous, and that displayed creativity!

Each house met, devised a plan, and began carving!

After the carving was complete, the pumpkins were put on display for the Grammar School students to vote on!

And the winners are:

Grammar School Favorite – House Fides’ Turtle

Second Place Grammar School Favorite- House Sapentia’s Mike Wazowski

Most House Spirit- House Constantia’s Elephant

Most Creative- House Audacia’s Lion

Most Humorous- House Sapentia’s Make a Funny Face

Blue skies, 70 degrees, late October, and friendly competition makes for a successful Powder Puff game.

Both teams played well but the Purple team ended up the victor. It’s hard to tell at Powder Puff who is having more fun…the players or the cheerleaders? For the parents, there is a lot laughter, cheering, and confusion over what call the Refs are making.

Consensus for next year is a little more coaching of the girls before the game on what the rules are and making sure the Refs aren’t related to any of the players…haha! 🙂

Fides Den Night 2019 was a HOWLING success!

There were so many different games that it was hard to choose what to play first!

Table after table was filled with friends laughing and talking and playing. And the pizza and snacks were yummy too!

Well done House Fides! The tradition continues and gets better every year!

Sprint week was fun for all! The Upper School started the week off with a Country vs Country dress day.

The Spirit Court winners for Country vs Country were Chrissy, Jeremy, Tabitha, and Luke!

Tuesday’s spirit day theme was Christmas in October with the seniors allowed to dress as senior citizens (a theme they requested).

The morning started with pancakes served up by the leaders in Student Government. Christmas decorations and music got everyone in a festive mood…even those OLD senior citizens, who were worn out from all the fun!

The Spirit Court winners for Christmas in October were Michelle and Zach. Old man Jonathan (literally the oldest student at the school currently) was awarded the spirit court win for the senior citizens.

Wednesday’s spirit week theme was Jersey Day for both the Upper School and Grammar School. All sorts of teams were celebrated with the Spirit Court winners being Ian, Taylor, and Jack! GO TEAM JESUS!

Thursday’s theme was TACKY DAY…and the students had a lot of fun with this theme. I would say that they were both tacky and WACKY! Abby and Garrett were selected for the Spirit Court.

The last day of Spirit Week was PINK OUT day to support breast cancer awareness. The Spirit Court winners were Michelle, Peyton, and Ben!

Then at the end of the school day, we celebrated with a Pep Rally for all the athletes that participated on the Fall sport teams. All the Spirit Court winners from the week played a fun game of dodgeball against a group of grammar schoolers. Then each athlete was announced and ran through a tunnel of grammar school students for lots of “high fives!”

Lastly the Upper School played a game of blindfold musical chairs with all the new students to CCS this year.

Let’s Go Warriors! That Warrior Spirit is hard to beat!!
