Summer Reading Info
Educators consider summer reading very important for developing life-long reading habits, for maintaining literacy skills, and for promoting reading for pleasure. Studies show that children who continue to read during the summer months perform better when school resumes in the fall. The summer reading program is optional for students this year with incentives in place for students who take part. We will be sending out information with the lower school students before the end of the school year. Upper school students will be able to print information from the CCS website before the end of the school year.
The ROC Has Its First Outing
The Recreation and Outdoor Club enjoyed rock climbing, ziplining, flatwater kayaking, hiking, and rope obstacle courses in the trees at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte on Saturday, April 28. They left bright and early at 6:45 a.m. and returned by 9:45 p.m. Everyone had a great time, and Mrs. Cooper already has ideas for future trips. A big thanks to Mr. Testerman for driving the group and Mrs. T. for coming with him to keep him company! Pictures are available on our Facebook page.
Great Times at Myrtle Beach!
The 6th and 7th grades had a wonderful time on March 15-16 in Myrtle Beach, SC. This field trip was full of learning opportunities. They began at the Wonderworks Science Museum and then traveled back in time by enjoying the jousting show at Medieval Times. The first night included a trip to Ripley’s Aquarium where the students enjoyed a frightful night of sleeping with the sharks, as the students camped out in a tunnel underneath the tanks that hold the sharks. Before leaving the aquarium the next morning, students were able to get in the tank and swim with the stingrays. The conclusion of the trip included some fun in the sun and football on the beach.
1st – 5th Grade “United We Stand” Concert
“United We Stand” is a patriotic tribute that will be held on Thursday, April 19, 2012, in the CCS cafetorium at 7:00 pm. Students are to arrive back stage by no later than 6:45. We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate our freedom!
10th Grade Monticello Field Trip
The Sophomore class recently returned from their overnight field trip to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson and the only private home in the United States listed as a World Heritage Site. The weather was beautiful, and the students did a great job of interacting with our tour guides and representing CCS well. In addition to Monticello, the students visited Michie Tavern for an amazing buffet lunch and tour of the colonial era tavern and inn. They even got to learn some colonial dance moves! The next morning, the class went to the University of Virginia for their first official college visit. UVA was founded by Thomas Jefferson, so the students also got to learn a little more about him and his legacy. After lunch, we finished up the field trip with a visit to Appomattox Court House National Historic Park.
