Hi friends! It's hard to believe we are in the final month of Cycle 2. This has been such a fun year together and our students have learned so much! Here is a rundown of all of the upcoming events. Be sure to mark your calendar!
"Overcomer" Essay Contest
Our theme song for this year is "Overcomer" by Mandisa. This month, we are doing a writing contest, open to ALL students. For our pre-K students, they can tell a parent what to write. :) Essays are due on week 23. We will choose a winner from two age brackets to receive a special award during our end of year celebration. Here's the writing prompt: Talk about a time when you were an "overcomer" or share about someone you admire who overcame a difficult situation. Explain what it means to be an "overcomer".
Faces of History - THIS FRIDAY!
On Friday night at 6:30, our students will present first-person character sketches from famous men and women from medieval history. Please bring an appetizer and dessert to share. If you want to help set up, be there at 5:30.
Memory Master Review Day - Friday
This Friday from 10am-2pm at the Frady home, across from West Hickory. Bring a drink and a few dollars to contribute towards pizza for lunch. Parents are welcome to stay or can drop children off.
End of Year Celebration - April 21 at 6:30
Mark your calendars and invite your friends and family! This will be a special evening where the students will share some of the fun things they have learned and receive their certificates for completing Cycle 2. We will also recognize our graduates who are moving up to Challenge. There will be an ice cream party immediately following the ceremony.
Yearbook Photos
Please send copies of your photos and videos from CC to Wendy Smith to make sure they are included in this year's yearbook. Also please send a copy to Amber Benge so that they can be included in a slideshow presentation for the End of Year celebration.
Achievement Testing
The deadline for early registration on the Stanford testing at Newton's CC campus is this Friday.
Practicum
Our CC practicum will be May 22-24 at Woodlawn Baptist in Conover. You can register for this online at the CC website. More info will be coming out about this in the next couple of weeks.
CC Yard Sale
We will do a community yard sale on April 29. This is a great chance to raise money for your family's CC tuition for next year. Please let Lisa Eckhardt know if you plan to participate ASAP.
CC Tuition and Fees Due Dates
All supply fees will be due by May 22 (first day of practicum!). The supply fee is $50/Foundation student and $20/Essential student. All tuition for the 2017-2018 year is due by July 15. If you would like to make monthly payments on tuition from April to July, please email your director so she can give you the total monthly amount.
SUMMER SCHEDULE
This summer, we will have LOTS of fun activities to do together as a community. Stay tuned for details coming soon. If you would like to host a play date or class for students, please let Amber Benge know ASAP. Some of the activities that are already in the works are art classes, cooking classes, science days, water wars day, crochet class, lego day, rising challenge book club, and writing club.
Registration for Next Year
We have 8 spaces remaining in the Foundations program for next year. The Mountain View campus also has some spaces still open. If you have friends who are interested in CC, invite them to come visit and check it out. We will also have an info meeting coming up soon.
