Winter WOWS!
Our Jr. Cougar Week of JOY will soon be here! It is on Monday, 1/29 through Friday, 2/2. It wraps on Saturday, 2/3 with our Jr. Cougar Winter Wonderland Carnival...but let's not get ahead of ourselves!
We are out of this world excited about an exciting STEM activity happening during Jr. Cougar Week featuring OZOBOTS! OZOBOTS are being brought to us by the IU13 and Ms. Judy Trusz, the Nonpublic Math Consultant. Whoop! Whoop!
All Jr. Cougars from preschool through grade 5 will receive direct instruction as well as get hands-on experience with these unique bots either on Monday, 1/29, or Friday, 2/2.
On Wednesday we will celebrate the love and JOY of the Lord in our elementary chapel and preschool and kinder will joining us. We will wrap up our time of praise, worship, and testimony with an extra special Jr. Cougar connection activity and prayer time.
In honor of Jr. Cougar week and elementary chapel, we would love to demonstrate our unity by wearing Cougar gear and/or school colors on Wednesday, 1/31.
And as if that not enough JOY, fun, spirit, and excitement, Mrs. Rischel, our elementary art teacher and Miss Hoover, our elementary PE and computer teacher put some of their own creative flair together for this special week.
Mrs. Rischel has deigned two coloring pages,one for our younger Jr. Cougars in PS - through grade 2 and one for our Jr. Cougars in grades 3-5 for a coloring contest. Coloring pages will be supplied on Monday, 1/29 for a Jr. Cougar coloring contest. Completed projects will be due Friday, 2/9. Winners will be announced at elementary chapel on Wednesday, 2/14.
Jr. Cougar Carnival JOY is coming soon with games galore, winter wonderland decor, and plenty of playful prizes too. All this and so much more are being prepared especially for YOU!
And if that's not enough JOY for you, back by popular demand are sweet and sometimes sloppy puppy kisses, Mr. Parris's messy and marvelous Pie Face (and an extra special guest pie face too), the yummy and tasty Cake Walk, punch cards to participate, and our CCS hoopin' and happenin' house of bounce.
The excitement, merriment, and entertainment are happening on Saturday, 2/3 from 9:30 -11:30 am in the CCS gym!!! Whoop! Whoop!
We need a boatload of your empty, clean, gallon jugs (milk, iced tea, lemonade) ASAP pretty please! Mrs. Greenly and her fantabulous fifth graders have taken on the special project of building an epic igloo during Jr. Cougar Week that will be featured at the Jr. Cougar Carnival!
There are giant cardboard collection bins in the lobbies of the elementary building and high school building. The gallon jugs collection is happening now through Monday, 1/29.
Our next session of “Science Explorers” is coming up quickly! Our CCS “Glad Scientist,” Mrs. Sunshine Smiley :) is eager for her new clubbers of Jr. Cougar scientists to join her on 2/14, 2/28, 3/6, and 3/13, which are all Wednesdays, after school, from 2:45 - 3:45 pm. Better get those sunglasses ready because together they will be Blinded by the Light!

Business and Christmas JOY!
During this season of giving our precious Jr. Cougars have the opportunity to share God's love by loving our neighbors right here in our own community with our annual Christmas Missions Project.
This year we are partnering with ANCHORED MINISTRIES to bless and bring JOY to other littles and bigs just like our Jr. Cougars, with brand new toys for Christmas! (A gift idea list is attached below.)
As the Lord leads your family, your Jr. Cougars can donate new, unwrapped toys to children in our community who might not have any gifts under their tree on Christmas morning. Donations can be brought into school until Wednesday, December 6th. (We will present the toys to Anchored Ministries on that day during chapel.)
