Cornerstone Christian School's third graders in Mrs. Bansale's and Mrs. Abraham's class are taking on a 6 month long service project called Kids Who Give. They need your help.

Oh, The Places They'll Go!! Cornerstone Christian School's annual live auction and banquet was a huge success!! Thanks for all of you that came out and all of you who volunteered!! A special thank you to Nicole Lewis, Susan Houston, and their amazing team. We are thrilled to announce the evening brought in more than $35,000. Praise the Lord for his goodness to us.

- Yearbooks On Sale
Have you ordered your yearbook yet? Please make checks payable to CCS or pay by cash. Yearbooks are $24. The yearbook committee is designing a memorable book that you will cherish for years to come.
|
- Childcare
One question that was raised at the January Parent Board Meeting was regarding before/after school care. We would like to hear from parents with this need so that the board can once again review the issue. We had very little feedback when previously asked. If you have need of before/after school care for your child(ren), please email Dr. hunt or Sandra Nettleingham with details of your specific needs. Providing a before/after school care program is complicated, given the busy use of the building for church ministries. However, the board is committed to reviewing the idea closely.
|
- Field Day
The middle school students will have their field day offsite on Friday, May 24. Field Day for grades 1-5 will be held Friday, May 31. This is a special day for our students. Mrs. Kurncz will need lots of help to make this day a success. If you are able to help the day of the event, or help with preparations, please contact Mrs. Kruncz at her email.
