KNIGHTS HEADLINES
Blumenthal Junior Ambassador Program The Blumenthal Junior Ambassador program is a creative way for young and passionate students to learn and be involved with everything that goes on at Blumenthal. During a typical school year, Junior Ambassadors attend a series of seminars, through which they learn about the inner workings of a large non-profit performing arts center, including career paths and community involvement in the arts, as well as have the opportunity to volunteer, usher and see shows. As is the case in most areas now, COVID-19 had forced the program to adapt and modify. Participants meet monthly via Zoom, learning about new topics such as, advertising and the financial side of performing arts. Guest speakers allow a glimpse into real life experiences.
“I have been able to learn so much from the overall experience and I’m so glad I was able to participate in the program!” Maggie Blakeney Current CCS Junior & Blumenthal Junior Ambassador
Birthdays & Milestones
Lower & Middle School
Spirit Rock 13 CHARLOTTE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
have a new place to show off this year. The new lower and middle school spirit rock has brought smiles and fun to a challenging school year. The idea was born when current middle school student Piper Fair enlisted the help of three friends to coordinate a presentation for Knight Tank. Piper along with Adaline Robinson, Lexi VanHoy and Chloe Simon were awarded funds for their proposals in the fifth annual Knight Tank competition, an initiative to encourage students and teachers in developing and implementing new and innovative programs to enhance educational experiences. “The girls did all of the work on the PowerPoint and the presentation,” said their faculty sponsor Mrs. Emily Fair. “They were rock stars!” Response to the new rock has been very successful. The rock is being used for birthdays, congratulations and some classes are using it to celebrate their teachers. Members of the CCS community may sign up for a date to paint the rock at the link found in the weekly Focus.
