DETERMINATION!!!

At Elementary Chapel last Friday, under the leadership and spiritual coaching of their determined and dear teacher, Mrs. Nafziger, our terrific team of third graders shared their timely, heartfelt, and spirit- filled personal messages on determination and how it applies to their lives. They also "performed" a play highlighting key moments of determination in the life of Esther.

As we are headed into the homestretch of the 2016/17 school year, I pray that with the Lord as our focus and guide, together for His glory, we can end with the same level of determination and JOY that we began the year with way back (or maybe not so long ago) in August.

"We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized."

Hebrews 6:11

With the help of their teacher, Mrs. Sanchez, our spirited second grade Jr. Cougars had a vision and now have planned a Jr. Cougar Spirit Week to take place the week of 5/1 (Monday). It will wrap up on Friday, 5/5, with our Race for Education. Please help your Jr. Cougar participate and ROAR with CCS spirit and JOY in the Lord throughout this week by dressing up their bodies as we stretch their hearts and minds for our special spirit-filled days!
