The CCS Upper School Winter Masquerade Dance was held on Feb. 25 from 7-11pm in the CCS gym. Dress was semi-formal and students arrived wearing all sorts of fun, decorative masks.

But it didn’t take long for the masks to come off and the dancing to begin. 

Student Government’s Social Prefect, Chandler Lawing, and her team did a great job with the music, the food, the decorations, and the fun.

And who doesn’t enjoy a Photo Booth??

Party, Play, and Pastors –

House Fides hosted, coordinated, and threw a party for a 4th grader whose parents won the bid on the “Fides Birthday Party in a Basket” from last year’s Gala.  There were cupcakes, decorations, a specially designed school rock, and singing.  I hear that the birthday girl had a “howling good time!”  Well done House Fides!

In January, CCS Theater Class presented…
 As a comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You,” is a charming story set in the 20’s in New York, where two young co-workers fall in love and strive to make their engagement work despite their family’s drastic differences. The class did a super job!
