JANUARY 2018
PEACE AND EQUALITY Happy New Year and a warm welcome back to students, teachers, and families! I hope that you all enjoyed the Christmas Holiday and that 2018 will be a positive and successful year for everyone. We have had a cold and snowy January with many snow days, but it feels so good to be back in school. January 24th is the the last day of the 1st Semester and the 25th is the end of the second marking period. May we all be able to settle back in to our creative environment, that is structured to develop each child's mind, body, spirit and sense of community. ~ Holly Hubbard, Head of School

CURRICULUM SPOTLIGHT Captain's Day- Peace and Equality PEACE and EQUALITY was the theme for our January Captain's Day at CCCS. Students were divided into multi-aged groups and spent time in six different classrooms learning, sharing, listening, creating, discussing and eating together. Lessons and examples of peace and equality were taught by the teachers in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, George Crum, Harriet Tubman, Matthew Henson, Euclid, George Washington Carver and Ray Charles. After lunch, the students painted pointillism doves and were all united together - peacefully!
