Dear CCS Parents, Guardians, and Families,
Marching Into Spring
If a school year could be compared to a roller coaster, then March would be the last big hill before the wild, careening, crazy dash to the finish. Full of energy (or, for our basketball fans, “March Madness”), it’s a jam-packed month of learning, activities, spring sports, and events all ending with that great sigh of relief known as Spring Break. With that in mind, there’s a good bit to share in this month’s letter. Please see below and know that you can always reach out to us with any questions you may have.
A Change in Uniform
After much consideration that includes input from our families and staff, CCS will be partnering with a new vendor for student uniforms beginning in the upcoming 23-24 school year. That vendor, Dennis Uniforms, has a longstanding history and specific focus on quality uniforms for private and independent schools such as ours. As your Head of Schools, I can assure you that this was not a decision made lightly. Moreover, we are firmly committed to this being a gentle and family-friendly transition in terms of students being able to wear their current uniform items for the upcoming school year. We will be sending more information in the coming days and weeks, but you may want to review this FAQ document now as it addresses some of the immediate questions you may have.
Winning Was “Elementary” for our Elementary Academic Day Competition
This week, our Elementary students participated in our GAPSS Regional Academic Day competition. Competing against the 5 schools in our region, CCS students under the leadership of Coach Sharon Brewer took either 1st or 2nd place in every category. Way to go, Knights!
Tonight’s Open House
If you are receiving this message, you are already a valued member of our Knights family, and we are grateful that you trust us to educate and help grow your children every day. Please help us in furthering our mission and adding even more great families like yours by spreading the word about tonight’s Open House. We will be starting here in the main building auditorium at 6 PM, and prospective families will have the opportunity to see all facets of our CCS school and campus!
Reflecting Our Mission by…Going on a Mission
We were grateful for our CCS students’ successful mission trip to Guatemala over last week’s mid-winter break. Special thanks for MS/HS Principal Dr. Sandi Hutcheson for leading this work in establishing new housing for a very deserving family. We are hoping to get images of the finalized work in a few weeks, but in the interim check out our Facebook page for some snapshots of the team’s time there.
Save the Date for Shrek
Save the dates of April 14 and 15 as, straight from his swamp, Shrek will be taking center stage at CCS in our Middle/High performance of Shrek: The Musical. Also, as we are developing our Playbill for this event, if you have a business you would like to promote or would like to “shout out” a student performer, please see this flier for information on how you can purchase space in the program.
Want to Join the CCS Team?
We are growing…and hiring! Are you or someone you know interested in making a Godly impact on students every day in a great Christian working environment? If so, consider applying or sharing this information for our CCS Human Resources page!
Upcoming Coffee and Conversation Parent Event
Our next Coffee and Conversation event will be on March 30 beginning at 8:00 AM in our main building atrium. Stop in for a cup of coffee and light refreshments as we discuss current CCS events, take questions, and solicit your input on how CCS can continue to thrive as we head to the end of the year!
Easter Chapel
On the very next day, March 31, we invite you to join us for our combined K-12 Easter Chapel. All of our chapels are special, but as we head into Easter week this one will be especially meaningful as several of our middle and high school students will be getting baptized as part of the service. We hope to see you there!
Speaking of Easter…
In closing, and as I frequently say, if you are looking for a church home, we know you would feel welcome at Community Bible Church. Easter weekend would be a great time to visit with us, and we encourage you to bring your younger children to our annual “Eggstravaganza” Easter Egg hunt on April 8 as well as joining us for Easter services on April 9!
See, I told you there was a lot going on in March! 
Sincerely,
Dr. Matt Isenberg
