CCS Food Drive for Salvation Army
Once again, the National Honor Society, Junior Beta Club, and Student Council will be collecting canned food and other non-perishable food items for the local Salvation Army in Henderson. They are expecting approximately 700 families to request assistance this Christmas, and over 3,000 more individuals will receive assistance in our local nursing homes and prison facilities.
The food drive will begin on Monday, December 2, and run through Friday, December 13. Last year, CCS donated just over 1,500 items, more than any other school in the area! We are looking forward to helping our community again this year and hope to raise even more items than last year!

Quarter 1 Honor Rolls
Quarter 1 honor rolls are ready! This quarter had an unusual number of Incompletes and so took a little longer for honor rolls to be compiled. However, we congratulate those who made the Quarter 1 honor rolls. They have also been emailed to the Daily Dispatch, for those of you who subscribe to the Henderson newspaper.

Pink Out Was a Big Success!
From our CCS Yearbook Staff: Friday, November 1, was the JV & Varsity Basketball/CCS Faculty game, It was a great night and we were excited about the turn out. Our faculty (old guys still had it!) and the students said they both had a lot of fun playing. Our Survivor’s Paper Quilt ended being up over 19 feet long, and we raised over $500 total! For the Pink Out, a big thanks to Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Choplin, Mr. Capps, and Mrs. Flintoff for helping out that evening. We appreciate the support of our CCS family in the fight for a cure for breast cancer!
