🇺🇸Thank you to Freedom Bank for bringing the American flag to our first football game of the season!
What a great way to kick things off for the season! 🏈
Catch them again on September 11th at our home volleyball game!

Today we kicked off our very first Elementary CCS Assembly of the year! 🎉
Students learned about expectations for assemblies and how to show great sportsmanship when attending games in the gym. To make it extra fun, the teachers took on the high school students in a volleyball match. 🏐 It was a perfect way to practice when to cheer, when to stay quiet, and when it’s okay to jump out of your seat!
Parents are invited to join us for the rest of our CCS Assemblies this year. The next ones are scheduled for September 25, October 30, and November 20 at 2:30 PM in the Big Gym. We’d love to see you there! ❤️🖤
