PEP RALLY next Friday!

This is a PEP RALLY you will not want to miss!
Please join us as we cheer on our Cougars and be sure to wear your BLUE & WHITE.
Thanks to our generous families, the profits from the spirit wear sales were able to be put back into school spirit! The Parents' Association will be participating in the rally and their reveal shouldn't be missed!
Wouldn't it be fun to show off your talent? How about being serenaded when you walk into school in the morning. CCDS is full of talent and we would love for you to share that with us. You are welcome to entertain for 5 minutes or the whole time.
Students, teachers, parents and grandparents, sign up for any morning (from 8:00 a.m. - 8:25 a.m.) and help us start our day off on a good "note"!

Great Escapes is approaching quickly and as planning is well under way, we are in need of many volunteers in many capacities. Please let me know how you can donate your time, talents and treasures to help CCDS continue to "Shine Bright!" Please remember to check out our Amazon Wish List for the auction for some great items to contribute to our silent auction. Items can be shipped directly to the school. Looking forward to seeing everyone on March 9, 2019!

CCDS will be holding on a presentation on the new FACTS Grant and Aid application that we will be using for the 2019/2020 school year. Mr. Pence and Mr. Stoffer will walk you through how to complete the application and answer questions that you may have. The event will be on Tuesday January 22nd at 6 pm . Please contact Mr. Stoffer with any questions.
CCDS will be offering Chess Club every
Wednesday and Friday at 3:30 p.m.
starting Friday, January 25th.
Effie Berenshteyn will be teaching the Wednesday class, which will be focused on more advanced methodologies (for example, studying various "closings"). Fridays, covered by David DuPlain, will be a more basic lesson, set up for anyone, regardless of experience level. 
Both days will include conceptual ideas behind the game of chess, with an attempt to teach these ideas in a way that will translate to everyday life.  The instructors will structure the lessons so that your child can attend either or both days allowing everyone to learn something new!
If your child is interested, please complete this FORM .
Afternoon Pick Up
Parents are always welcome to pick their children up inside the building after school, however, all dismissal safety procedures must stay in place. Should you choose to pick your children up inside, please park in the side lot before 3:00 p.m. and remain in the Performance Area with your children until car line has ended.

Snow Dance by Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten Movement class joined in the snow theme hoping to bring our first big snow of the season. With this performance, I'd say it's a good idea to get out your snow boots this weekend!
