7th-9th Grade – Alternate Field Trip Fun

As an alternate field trip for the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, CCS hosted two Science Integration Days! The focus was on trees and the history, science, and art of paper making.

The 7th graders worked together to form, build and decorate paper mache trees. They began with a theme and a sketch – basically a blueprint. Then they used chicken wire and various other items to build their tree forms. They added paper mache and then painted and decorated them.

The finished trees were unique, creative, and colorful works of art!

The 8th and 9th graders followed the same process to create masks.

In some down time the students and teachers enjoyed playing some games together.

A big thank you to Mrs. Quillen, Mrs. Hudson, Miss Leland, Mrs. Bowling, Mrs. Trapp, and Mrs. Shuping for all their hard work during these fun science integration days!

Spirit Week

CCS students were super creative with Spirit Week this past spring.

Day 1 was “Bring anything BUT a backpack day.”

Day 2 was “International Day

Day 3 was “Dress Like a Teacher Day”

Day 4 was “Class Color Day” – each class was assigned a different color to wear. I don’t have pictures of all the classes but this pic of the 7th grades is a good example!

Day 5 was “PJ and Stuffed Animal Day

CCS Warriors love to show their SPIRIT!!

CCS Feast and Winter Dance

Driven by a desire of the Upper School faculty to fellowship and feast with the high schoolers, the Student Government leaders started dreaming and planning to make it happen, and the CCS Feast was born!

All Upper School faculty and their spouses were invited to join the 9th-12th graders for a candlelit dinner catered by 2Gals Kitchen.

The students did an amazing job decorating the Commons area. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating community and sweet conversation.

After feasting, everyone was treated to an hour of swing dance instruction!
