**IMPORTANT ** Upcoming 2023-2024 CCS Crusader Events.

What a night it was! Our recent family discipleship night was a huge success, thanks to the insights shared by our special guest, Clint Davis. Davis, an expert in child safety and protection, spoke at length about the effects of technology on our children and how we can set appropriate boundaries to protect them. It was an incredible opportunity for parents to engage with such an experienced professional and learn about the latest trends and best practices in child safety. Davis's presentation was informative and engaging, and the feedback we received from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. For those who missed the event, don't worry - we're planning to host Clint Davis again soon, so you'll have another chance to hear from him. Watch for more information. We can't wait to see you there!

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.
