Right before Easter break, the CCS Student Government held elections for SG President and Vice President for the 2015-2016 school year.
 

The signage was creative, and all four of the speeches were amazing! There were two candidates for Vice President and two candidates for President.

After the vote, Becca Reese won for SG Vice President,
and Kady Kuhn won for SG President!  Congratulations, ladies!

Outgoing SG president, Ian Prince, made it official with a “passing of the sword” ceremony.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead…                                                         Apostle’s Creed
