House Fides hosted an Upper School lake day! We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of sunshine and fellowship! Thank you House Fides!

The water was a bit chilly but everyone had a blast swimming and paddle boarding!

Each semester we have an Upper School spirit week! All students are encouraged to submit ideas for our spirit days and to participate! This years 7th grade class was on point!

Monday- Decades Day

Tuesday- Holiday

Wednesday – Tie Dye vs Camo

Thursday – Sports Day

Friday – Pink Out – (no pictures BUT we were all seeing a lot of pink that day! HA!)

The last day of Spirit Week was a delicious Pancake Breakfast feast.

There were students chosen each day as the “best dressed” for the particular theme to be on the Spirit Court during the Pep Rally which rounded out the week of fun.

Let’s Go Warriors!!!

Each year we kick off our first semester with Warrior Camp! This year Warrior Camp was held at the US National Whitewater Center. Each House was broken into groups to compete in an Adventure Race! After the race was complete, we all had lunch together and then spent the afternoon whitewater rafting!

Groups gather as we prepare to begin the race! Once everyone was checked in and given instructions- the race was underway! Some of the activities in the race included: the climbing wall, multiple ropes courses, whitewater solo, bike riding, and more!

Once the race was over and everyone had lunch, the rafting began!

It was a fun filled day; thank you to all of the parents and Advisors who worked to make Warrior Camp a success!

Please excuse the extreme tardiness of this, and other posts to come! Be on the lookout for more pictures and details from first semester at CCS!

We started the day with worship.

Then Mrs. Russell recognized our seniors.

We played a few group games.

Then we introduced our new House leaders and they read their house fable.

We inducted our 7th grade students, as well as any new and returning students, into one of the 4 Houses .

Then we played a game called “Eat One, Throw One, Balance One” with the House Captains and Prefects.

The House Captains competed while the prefects were there to advise and aide them. They were given a cube of Jell-O, a pretzel stick, and a granola bar.

The object of the game was to figure out which item they were going to eat, which would be best to throw a distance, and which one would balance the best on the pole – all in the fastest amount of time.

It was such a fun day!!

Committed to training up tomorrow’s leaders, CCS hosted an all day student leadership retreat on August 13th at Lake Tillery.

Parker Rose, our current Student Body President, kicked the meeting of with a prayer and lead everyone in the SG pledge. After going over some communication expectations with Parker, the leaders played a quick icebreaker game to get to know one another.

How many sheets of toilet paper would you take for the day? Each leader was told that the plumbing at the Hudson lake house was suspect, along with the toilet paper supply. They had to take all of the toilet paper they may need for the day. Later on they had to share a fact about themselves for each sheet of TP. We learned the most about Mrs. Trapp!

After their meeting, your CCS leaders took some time to complete the Wall of Leaders posters, generously provided by House Audacia!

The afternoon was a time of fellowship and memory making on the lake! The CCS leaders laughed a lot, swam, jumped, kayaked, paddle boarded, and even took their chances on the rope swing!

You leaders are ready to jump into the 2021 school year!

Special thanks to Mrs. Gromis and Mrs. Trapp for chaperoning!
