One Week Until Re-enrollment Opens!

Re-enrollment for the 2017-2018 school year will begin on Monday, February 6, with a two-week window to re-enroll at a discounted rate. During the December board meeting, the CCS school board approved to not increase tuition for next school year, with fees also staying the same. CCS is also lowering the re-enrollment fee for those families who re-enroll during the re-enrollment period. From Monday, February 6, through Saturday, February 18, families can re-enroll for only $150 per child, a $100 discount per child. The enrollment fee becomes $250 on Sunday, February 19.

We are thankful for all of our CCS families, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with you as we train our young men and women to serve Christ and to be leaders with a Christian worldview.

Do You Know a Family Who Would Like to Visit CCS?

We are available for meetings and tours for any new family interested in Crossroads. Simply have them call Beth Pegram at 252-431-1333 to set up an appointment. The new family enrollment period opens on Monday, February 20. There is no greater way to reach new students than by a recommendation from a current family.

As a thank you to current families who recommend CCS, we offer a new student referral discount to help offset the cost of tuition. Many families have taken advantage of the referral discount over the past few years, and because of those recommendations, CCS has given out over $35,000 in referral discounts. Thank you to everyone who helped bring new families to our school!

NHS News

Thirteen members of the National Honor Society picked up trash for Adopt-a-Highway on Wednesday, January 18. These members collected 14 bags of trash from our road in just under an hour! We pick up from Julia Road to the stop light, although the DOT posted our signs out a bit further than that. Our next pick-up date will be in spring.

On February 15, the NHS chapter will put together a meal and deliver it to the men’s homeless shelter at the First Presbyterian Church in Henderson. February is also our annual induction month. The 2017 induction ceremony for new members will be Wednesday, February 22, during chapel period. Eleven new candidates who met the initial academic requirement were invited to submit their information for evaluation by a Faculty Council. After the Faculty Council meets, letters of invitation for induction will go out in the next week. To find out more about candidate selection requirements, visit the NHS page on our school website.

Lower School Students “Caught Being Third”

To go along with the school theme this year, the lower school faculty started a “Caught Being Third” bulletin board in the lower school hallway.

Students who are seen (caught) putting others before self will have a badge placed on the bulletin board for the month. Students are then recognized in chapel for placing others before themselves.

Athlete of the Month

Noah Brantley is an 8th grader who excels both on and off the court. Noah is one of the nicest young men you will ever meet. He exemplifies what it means to be a stellar student athlete. Noah is having a phenomenal year on the MS basketball team and is averaging double figures with respect to both points and rebounds. More impressive than this, however, is Noah's character. He treats people with dignity, respect and kindness. He sets a great example for all those around him.

Our January Athlete of the month goes to a great athlete (basketball and soccer) and a great young man: Mr. Noah Brantley!

-- Athletic Director, Jamie Parker

StuCo Hosts a Parents’ Night Out Feb. 10

On Friday, February 10, our Student Council will be hosting a night of child care. Use this time to take your spouse out to dinner or enjoy some quiet time at home. While you're out having fun and enjoying the evening, your kids will be playing games, watching a movie, and completing a Valentine craft.

The cost of this event is $30 per child for the first two children and $20 for each additional child in your family. All money goes to the Student Council of CCS. Reservation forms are available at the front office and on the school website at http://ccscolts.org/site/student-life/student-council/
