The House Gingerbread competition continued this year, but due to time and interest we only had one gingerbread house per House. It’s amazing what the students can create in a short amount of time!!
1st Place – House Sapientia – “Sapientia Blue Light Christmas Cabin” (40 points)
2nd Place – House Fides – “Covenant Christmas Cabin” (30 points)
3rd Place – House Audacia – “Christmas Cabin” (20 points)
4th Place – House Constantia – “Cabin at the Beach” (10 points)
The CCS Ugly Christmas Sweater Competition is always a lot of fun to see and judge.
Winners for the most “creative or crafty” sweater – Audacia’s Lilly Allen and Anna Booth
Winner for Tackiest Sweater – Tyler Hicks (Audacia) and the Winner for the Ugliest sweater – Ryan Gasparrini (Constantia)
The 7th-12th grade classes decided to compete in the Christmas door competition! The judges were Mrs. Thipgen and Mrs. Russell and the prize was donuts for the class!

Though not in the competition, Mrs. Quillen’s door deserves recognition!
House Audacia decided to get together to celebrate Christmas at the Benham’s home. From the pictures it looks like a roaring good time was had.
And the CCS 7th-12th grade moms continued the tradition of the “Ornament Exchange/Steal Party” at the Hudson home. We picked a day/time that was difficult for many of the moms to attend, but those that could make it laughed until it hurt!
And of course there were some simple, non-embarrassing, competitive games to win additional ornaments to keep, exchange, or steal.
And lots of food and fellowship! This is such a sweet time to celebrate our precious community of upper school mamas. AND in case you didn’t know, the moms earn points for their student’s House every time they attend events, donate food to events, etc. So there are many reasons for the WHOLE family to stay involved at CCS!! AND it is FUN!!
Speaking of fun…we all know our CCS teachers are true GIFTS! Below one of our teachers recently and literally became a gift. For fun and some House points for proving to Mrs. H that you read this email to the end, send Mrs. Haycox an email or text if you think you know who the teacher wrapped as a gift is! (3 pts for reading and guessing and 5pts if you guess correctly!)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
