During our elementary chapel, we embraced a time of writing our prayers to God. We had the chance to express our gratitude for everything He has done and to share our deep love for Him.
We also took this opportunity to pray for our school, our homes, and our families, asking God for His guidance and support as we embark on this new year. Each prayer was placed in an envelope, sealed, and will be prayed over multiple times throughout the year. When we receive them back next year, we will be able to see all the incredible ways God has worked in our lives!
Our 4-H Crusaders have been creating heartfelt Valentine's Day cards for local nursing homes. We invite all CCS parents, grandparents, and siblings to join us in this uplifting mission by sharing love and encouragement through your own Valentine’s cards in our community. Please drop off any cards at the front desk, and we will take them to the 4-H office for delivery along with our students' cards.
Our Student Ambassadors had the privilege of serving lunch to the Family Church Primetime Group last week. It’s inspiring to see how this shared meal blessed both our students and the Primetimers. The time spent together was filled with warmth and fellowship. It’s a joy to witness our Student Ambassadors shine!

Our 5th grade class did an amazing job presenting "The Light Gift." It tells the story of a young girl's journey of kindness, which leads her to discover the greatest gift of all. Her journey reveals the wonder of God's perfect timing: "Stay on the way and treat others as you would the coming King."
Family Discipleship Night was incredible! Adam Griffin, coauthor of Family Discipleship and host of the Family Discipleship podcast, shared some practical ways to disciple our children and grandchildren. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 tells us that discipleship is an ongoing conversation in the day-to-day living in our family. Adam shared some practical takeaways that we can all begin to implement today: (1) Read the Bible aloud daily as a family (2) Pray aloud for each of your children and speak scripture over them (3) Spend one-on-one time monthly with each of your children.
Another highlight: we are called to be different, set apart. Adam used the analogy of "raising Green Bay Packer fans in a Dallas Cowboys town." Christians are not called to be like the world...we are called to be different.
What is happening at CCS?

It's heartwarming to see our community come together to support those in need, and we truly appreciate everyone who participated by donating or spreading the word. Your efforts have made a significant impact, and we are grateful for your kindness and support!

Mrs. Bostick had her students write a story about how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Afterward, she demonstrated their steps using bread, peanut butter, and jelly. This helped the students understand the importance of including detailed instructions in their writing.
