November School Newsletter- Lions Pause
CCHS Computer Lab Looking Good!
Oct. 17th was a day of celebration for CCS! The school took possession of the first of new computers for the entire school. This was an answer to many years of praying for computer teacher Mrs. Barron.
The CCS computer lab received the first 30 of the IBM computers. They are excellent machines that come with LCD monitors.
Twenty-two computers are being placed in the library for student use. Every teacher and nearly every staff person will have a new computer at their desks for the first time. They have endured their ten year old computers with great patience, but now will have a fast, dependable computer to be able to handle their teaching duties much more efficiently.
In addition, ten powerful desktop computers will be placed in the old lab to be used to teach software for upper level classes. Thirty-one laptop computers on a mobile cart will be made available for classroom projects.
Through much research about the purchasing of computers, a huge blessing was put into place– all the money needed was loaned to CCS through our amazing board members.
Our school now has the opportunity to put on a school auction, March 13th, where all monies raised will go to pay our board back for the new equipment.
BOOK FAIR A LITERARY SUCCESS!
Our first annual Scholastic Book Fair was a marvelous success. The library was over flowing with books presenting an interest range from preschool through junior high. Students visited the library throughout the week, all finding something to put a spark in their eyes. Many returned, time after time, with friends, parents and grandparents in tow to share the excitement of finding a new treasure within the covers of the books.
The “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series was the hit of the fair. Students and teachers alike made want lists and purchases began early in the week. Christmas gifts, home library books and books for the classrooms began flying off the shelves. Interest was so strong that the sale was extended three days after Open House so all could get their chance to buy. A total of $2222 in book dollars was earned for the CCS library.
These new books will be available soon for your children to check out. We are looking for volunteers to help process the books. If you have an hour or ten hours to give, contact CCS librarian Sandee Swarner through the school.
Coach’s Corner
Wow! What a fall season we are STILL having. It has been a fun season for everyone! All teams have been successful and we are so proud of all our athletes!
So far we know that we have a Champion! Our JH soccer team made it all the way to the championship game and tied after 2 overtime periods (per rule). They are the Metro Christian League East/West Co-Champions! Great Job! Congratulations to coach Isaac Matei and his young squad. The skills that these young athletes are developing will serve us well in the next several years.
Our JH volleyball team was amazing! They had a great season! They worked hard and earned a spot in the Metro Christian League playoffs. They battled all season long and the same was the case in their playoff game. They managed to make it to the tiebreak game and lost 15-13. Oh, so close! We are very proud of you girls! Coach Molly White in her first season did a splendid job of teaching the girls fundamentals and a tenacity to play hard. Great Job!
Our HS is in the midst of strong playoff runs! The boys Soccer team defeated Horizon Christian and North Clackamas Christian to move to the third round of the Columbia River League District Playoffs. Outstanding performance for Coach John Millen and his team! Next game is Nov. 5th at Corbett with a chance to advance to the state tournament. Good job team! Keep up the great work!
In the first round of the District playoffs, the girls HS volleyball team defeated Portland Lutheran on Oct. 29th. The girls were defeated in their next two matches and were not able to continue on to state. The girls had a great season. Good job girls!
