Claiborne Christian School

2023 Crusader Way Homecoming Court! These students were selected as those who represent each of our classes in fostering community, pursuing discipleship, excellence, growth, and leadership.

CCS Second graders dissected owl pellets in their class today. The activity helped students understand the food chain and the interdependence of animal species. The unit's goal was to develop a love and appreciation for the natural world and inspire students to be good stewards of the environment. Mrs. Wren & Mrs. Jones led the activity, which was engaging and exciting for the students.
