Fall Games 2021

Posted on November 13, 2021 by Bethany Haycox

As in previous years, the 7th Annual Fall House Games Competition was fierce but filled with silly games, laughter, and great sportsmanship. Honestly we were all just grateful that the Fall Games had returned, since Covid had knocked out the Games in the fall of 2020.

For each game, the House leaders had to strategically determine which members should participate based on the skills needed or the willingness of the members to do some of the crazier activities. Each game had the 1st place winner receiving 1 point, 2nd place winner receiving 2pts, 3rd place winner receiving 3pts, and 4th place winner receiving 4pts. In the case of a tie, both houses receive the same points. The “Ultimate Winner of the Fall House Games” was the House with the lowest number of points.

Throughout the afternoon the points were close between the four Houses, but at the end of the day, House Fides was announced the winner, with House Constantia close behind in second place.

1st place – Fides with 13 points

2nd place – Constantia with 14 points

3rd place – Sapientia with 21 points

4th place – Audacia with 23 points

House Meetings, Service, and Chapels

Posted on June 9, 2021 by Bethany Haycox

Fourth quarter was full of House meetings and Thursday Chapels! Everyone was grateful that we were able to meet together in the gym!

House Audacia worked on Birthday Boxes for Cabarrus County Meals on Wheels, House Fides hosted a few games of kickball and gaga ball for the 4th graders, House Sapientia blessed the faculty and staff with sweet notes of encouragement, and House Constantia served by doing a little deep cleaning around the Upper School.

Each House had two meetings to craft a banner to be judged and displayed during Spring Games

At the end of March, the Student Government hosted a student led chapel. Student Body President Ryan Gasparrini acted as our host and MC. Lee Williamsen and Annabella Dancy led us in worship, and Parker Rose led a devotion about the sin of partiality. Anna Cooper spoke to the Upper School about her experience in leadership and then we played some games! It was so wonderful to gather together!

Please excuse the blurriness of these photos- I wish we had better pictures.

The following two weeks we had Senior Chapels during the Thursday chapel time. The seniors played games, answered questions from the student body, and gave speeches thanking their CCS community.

Special thanks to Mr. Morton for leading the Senior Chapel.
