Author and Illustrator Susan Gal visits CCCS
Our elementary students were treated to a visit by author and illustrator Susan Gal this month. Gal spoke about the inspiration for her current book "Night Lights", and showed our students a preview of her upcoming book titled "Take Me for a Walk". She also gave our fifth graders some tips about illustrating their Snowman for a project they are working on.

Grandparent’s Day 2009
This years’ Grandparent’s Day was a special day on campus with many grandparents in attendance. After checking in and receiving a gift bag, they attended a program in the multi-purpose room where the elementary classes each performed a special number. The 5th grade band performed for the very first time and did a wonderful job! The program culminated with a flute duet by two eighth grade students.
After the program, grandparents spent about 40 minutes visiting the classrooms and then everyone met at the picnic tables to enjoy lunch together in the beautiful fall weather.
Thanks to all of the parents who helped out with this event and a special thanks to Mrs. Gayle Moussa who served as the chairperson.

Students Shine at Fine Arts Festival

On Friday, May 1, 49 students in fifth through eighth grades participated in the annual Fine Arts Festival held at Central Valley Christian School in Visalia, California. These students were selected to compete in the areas of vocal and instrumental music, speech, and reader’s theatre. In addition, many other students ( in grades 5 – 8) were selected to submit entries in the areas of art and writing.

Not only did CCCS students perform very well that day, they received high ratings in all areas! At our Open House on Thursday, May 14, we hope to showcase many of these student performances in the MPR. You will also be able to view the art and writing entries which will be on display. Please check the schedule that evening for details.
