End of Year Fun Zone

I bet you're getting a million emails this time of year, so I'll do my best to keep this short and sweet. I just want to say that I had an absolute BLAST camping with the team last week. What a special trip full of so much positivity! Friendships deepened, confidence grew, and super sweet memories were made. I know that everyone contributed to the success of the trip, but I just have to take a moment and celebrate our chaperones: Keith, Valerie, and Silvana! You made this such a smooth experience for the kids and for me. I couldn't be more grateful.
Now there is a lot of excitement brewing here on campus. Here is a run-down of the last 7 school days:
Wed. 5/27 at 2:20 Pecha Kucha Presentations in the classroom
Fri. 5/29 at 2:30 Becky's Farewell celebration in the sanctuary
Wed. 6/3 at 10:00 Grandparents Day (Grandparents or special friends are invited for a beautiful CCS tradition- a celebration of our community elders)
Thurs. 6/4 at 9:30 Graduation Day in the sanctuary
  • 9:30 Everyone arrives at 9:30. Kids stay with their parents and gather in the sanctuary for closing remarks.
  • 10:00 Team 3-4 graduation in the classroom for 3rd-4th graders and their families
  • 10:40 8th grade graduation in the sanctuary (students sit with their families)
  • 12:00 Closing reception/whole-school potluck (check the whole-school email for the dish you are to bring for this lunch)
*If you are on the events committee, you are expected to help with set-up and clean-up. If you need more PPP hours, email Becky and she can hook you up with a volunteer role.


In the classroom, we're counting down to graduation day by popping one balloon each day. The balloons are filled with a surprise announcement- something to make that day extra special. Yay!
