“HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!”
heart character

In this season of hearts, chocolates, flowers, and love, I am reminded daily through the words of God’s love letter (the Bible) to us and from my brothers and sisters in Christ that “the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:5  


Because of His great and enduring love for us, God our Father gave us His heart when He gave us His Son! “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16


Not only did God give us His Son, “but God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
With the gift of eternal life that we have received because of Jesus, we now know what true, unconditional love is, and we can “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  John 13:34-35
On this Valentine’s Day may you be reminded and know in your own heart and share with your precious big and little ones that God’s “love never fails!” 1 Corinthians 13:8


JR. COUGARS GO OUT for the day!

While our beloved elementary teachers are participating in an all-day technology in-service back at school, our Jr. Cougars will be loving time out of school exploring the DaVinci Science Center. This fun-filled day will be taking place on Thursday, March 10. Please watch your child’s folder next week for more information and the off-campus trip form.

JR. COUGAR DAYS
Because our Jr. Cougars love science, social studies, and the arts so much, this year we have decided to celebrate this love of learning for a whole week as an elementary school! Jr. Cougar Days are planned for the week of February 22-26. Jr. Cougar Week is running in conjunction with the 4th and 5th grade Adventure Days. Along with Jr. Cougar Week/4th and 5th grade Adventure Days, we are hosting a “Jr. Cougars Afternoon Delight Showcase” on Friday, February 26, from 1:45 - 2:30 pm. Similar to the “Evening of Science and the Arts,” this is a Jr. Cougars Open House. Please save the date to share this special “show-and-tell” time with your bright and delightful Jr. Cougar! Parents are invited to drop in and visit your child’s classroom to view projects and displays related to science, social studies, and art. Feel free to join your Jr. Cougar for a mini tour through the elementary abode to experience a taste of the fun, love, and learning that we get to share and delight in every school day!


SHARING OUR LOVE OF THE LORD AND CCS…

“POP INTO CCS”

A special opportunity for our CCS families to invite their family and friends to "POP into CCS" to see what makes our school "POP over the Top!" Maybe you like your popcorn on the sweet side of things; then start your day with us at chapel singing the praises of our Savior. Or maybe you like your popcorn and day with a little more of a "salty spunk." You can take a guided tour with one our students or faculty members. Or perhaps you like your popcorn full of zest and life. Take a few minute as you wrap up your visit to sit in on a class heating up and "popping" along in learning and growing! So many flavors of the day when you "POP into CCS" for a visit!

Along with the open house on Wednesday, 2/17/16, there is an ALL-SCHOOL CHAPEL at 8:25 am in the gym. ALL are invited to attend.


LITTLE CONESTOGA PRESCHOOL
loves books, penguins, and all things Spring!


Our precious wee ones and their terrific teachers are opening their classroom doors and hearts to friends and neighbors by sharing Preschool Storytime with the "public” for the first time starting this coming Wednesday, 2/17/16!



Love Learning?...Got Labels?...Eat Pizza?
Ready for this??? :)
If you eat, you’ve got “Labels for Education” at home! If you’ve got labels, our school can turn them into money! The money helps us pursue our love of learning! And pizza, well the class that brings in the most labels will win a pizza party!


Labels + Learning = Pizza!  It all adds up to a win, win, win!

So, collect, cut, and send in those labels because Jr. Cougars love learning, labels, and pizza!
