Our 4th graders wrapped up their third novel of the year, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, in the most magical way—by watching the movie and enjoying some of the foods mentioned in the story!
This classic tale teaches courage, kindness, and doing what’s right. Through the characters’ choices, students see how forgiveness and self-sacrifice can overcome fear, and how even small acts of bravery can make a big difference.

Our K4 friends enjoyed a joyful, Christmas-themed field trip to the Children’s Museum earlier this month. ❄️🎄 We loved watching them explore, learn, and celebrate the wonder of the season together!

Last Thursday during chapel, we honored students’ family members who have served or are currently serving in the military. Families of grades 6–12 submitted photos that were transformed into a beautiful slideshow celebrating our military heroes! We were also privileged to hear from Mr. Brett Bennett, an Army National Guard veteran, who spoke to our students about the importance of service and sacrifice—not only in the military but also in the Kingdom of God. Today, on Veterans Day, we give a heartfelt thank you to all our heroes for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice!

Honoring our heroes! 🇺🇸 Mrs. Smith’s kindergarteners made “thank you” cards for local veterans in celebration of Veterans Day. ❤️🤍💙

Mrs. Thompson’s fourth graders explored the geography and culture of the United States one region at a time! They dove into the Southeast—and Louisiana in particular—by tasting classic local favorites: crispy fried okra, savory sausage, and homemade Southern cornbread. It was a delicious way to learn about the rich flavors and traditions of the South!

📣 Head of School for the Day!
At our annual Live & Silent Auction fundraiser, parents have the opportunity to bid for their child to serve as Head of School for the Day—and this year, Benton won!
Benton made a huge impact on the CCS campus today alongside our Head of School. He ran fire drills, made morning announcements, checked students in and out, monitored security cameras, delivered items to teachers and students, and even approved a few teacher purchases!
To top off his busy day, Benton and our Head of School enjoyed a special lunch outing to Raising Cane’s, followed by dessert at Great American Cookie.
Thanks for leading us in the Crusader Way today, Benton!

📬✉️ Our 2nd graders are making new friends across the country! They received a letter from Highview Christian Academy as part of their mission to collect postcards from all 50 states. To share a little Louisiana love, our class is sending back a special package with a letter, a Louisiana postcard, beignet mix, Creole seasoning, and the book Celebrating Louisiana. Learning about the states has never been so sweet—and so tasty! 🌎💌🧂📚
