The winter sports Pep Rally started with a fun all school dance party!

Then all the students lined up around the outside of the basketball court as the athletes’ names were called out and each ran around the court giving and receiving high 5’s.

Then the SG leaders, led by Maggie Faircloth and Jeremy Kirwin, taught the students how to play a fun “big dice” game of elimination. It was a huge hit!

After the grammar school students were dismissed, the upper school students played a game of dodgeball. Seniors and Teachers vs 7th through 11th graders!

Immediately following the Pep Rally, House Constantia hosted a tailgate in the Commons for all the Houses with tons of food, games, and fellowship!

And a few of the brave students had the chance to challenge the self proclaimed “Ping Pong Master,” our very own Athletic Director – Mr. Parker, in some impressive and intense matches!

Then it was time to go to the gym to cheer on our JV and Varsity Warriors!! GO WARRIORS!!!

LUNCH BUDDIES! Two Thursday’s each month, a few of our Student Government and House leaders visit with the 1st and 2nd grade classes for the last 10-15 minutes of their lunch! They fellowship and laugh together!

House Audacia collected 300 books in their book drive for Promising Pages!! Each book was carefully cleaned and stickered with notes of encouragement from the members of Audacia. This generosity of CCS students and parents gives children in need the opportunity to experience the joy of reading. THANK you to all who donated and participated!!

CCS had 65 students, faculty, family members, and alums signed up to serve at Operation Christmas Child this December. It was an amazing time for all!!

The boxes processed while we were serving were shipping out to Uganda.

Serving 5 hours on your feet calls for a little break to refuel and fellowship with friends.

Lastly for a little fun, I attached one of the videos from the Senior’s Rube Goldberg project for their Physics class, taught by the wonderful Mrs. Quillen. Watch and enjoy! (Note: the videos embedded in the House blog do not show up if you are reading the post via email, so go to the blog and check it out!)

Now go out and bless someone today!!
