Topping Out Charlotte Christian School hosted a Topping Out Ceremony along with Rodgers Builders for the new Middle School Building that is slated to open in August 2022 for the 2022-23 school year. Participating in the topping out ceremony was Head of School Barry Giller; Board of Trustee Chair Brad Van Hoy; Middle School Principal Brooke Morgan; seventh grade student Andre Cox; senior and head prefect Olivia Jackson; Will Myer, Kelton Carpenter and Donald Alston of Rodgers Builders, general contractor; and donors. The ceremony celebrated the topping out or installation of the final piece of structure to the roof of the building. Charlotte Christian students and community members signed the beams that will be used in the construction of the building. “We are grateful for this new addition to our campus and for God’s provision through the generosity of our donors,” shared Head of School Barry Giller. “We appreciate the relationships we have built over the last eight years with Rodgers Builders and LS3P in partnering with us to advance the footprint of our master campus plan. The Graham Middle School Building was the center of campus and our longest standing building and one that served us well for just under five decades. Our students are excited for this new building that will provide space for innovative learning in the middle school.”

Dr. Gary Chapman, well-known author of The 5 Love Languages®, and Dr. Shannon Warden, licensed counselor and author, came to Charlotte Christian in November to discuss their recent book The DIY Guide to Building a Family that Lasts. Dr. Chapman and Dr. Warden shared practical tools for transforming home life and dramatically improving family’s culture, answering the question, Is it really possible
to have the home life you want with the people you love? Charlotte Christian parents as well as parents from the community were invited to this event to partner on the journey of parenting. CCS parent Genevieve Williams shared about the night, “Dr. Chapman was insightful. We all lead busy lives- he made us stop, think and reflect on our parenting and family life in a positive way.” 20 CHARLOTTE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
