October School Newsletter – Lions Pause
Wow! School is off to a wonderful start! Teachers are buzzing with excitement and plans for this year; chapels are on course to set the spiritual standard; the library has a new look; the music program is expanding and the sawdust is flying as Mr. Mason completes our new computer lab.
A successful magazine/cookie sale was a great benefit to our school. Profits from the elementary magazine sale will be used to improve their lunch area. Sixth and seventh grade students earned money towards their trip to Washington DC in the spring of 2011, and high school profits will be used towards our new library program.
CCS MAGAZINE SALE- FUN AND REWARDING!
It’s a weeple raid in the elementary school. Students get a little fuzzy creature called a weeple for selling a magazine. If students have their weeples with them during the “raid”, they can choose from a candy basket and draw cards to win candy and money.
Adult volunteers helped make the magazine sale profitable. From left, magazine representative, Regina Tiel, Joe Hoard, Rachelle Heckel and Ernie Flores.
The last two weeks have been filled with weeples, prizes, candy and money, $1’s, $2,s, $5’s, $10’s and $20’s from our annual magazine sale. In fact, kindergartner Alexa Boyer won the big prize of $100 with her spin of the prize wheel.
The magazine sale has come to a close for this year and we greatly appreciate those of you that actively participated. Forty-five percent of all sales becomes profit for the school, and we are excited about the difference this sale has made.
The 6th grade is our top selling class with an average of $141 in sales per person. Their profit will be placed in safe keeping towards their trip to Washington D.C. in March of 2010.
Magazine Sales Produces Funds for School – Prizes for Students
Sixth grade students joining the top sellers at the Pig-Out Party will include Adam Brown, Laurin Maurer, Noah Peterson, and Nicole Procopoi.
The 7th grade class also earned money towards the Washington, D.C. trip with Susie Traver leading the way. She sold $247 worth of magazines, while high salespeople Luke Anderson and Moises Tonis will join her at the Pig-Out Party.
High school and 8th grade profits will go towards our new computer program, with senior Ashley Nordstrom setting the standard for the high school at $251 in sales, and 8th grader Lindsey Quigley topping her classmates with $395 in sales.
Elementary students are looking forward to a new look in their lunch area, with 88 students in grades K-5 contributing to the profits. Braxton Swarner sold over $1000, for a school highest salesperson. Salespeople exceeding the $300 mark include Keeley Trainer, Jordon Johnson, Kayla Stickel, Madison Burnett, Victoria Ficker, and Alexa Boyer. Additional students earning the Pig-Out party include Jacob Ile, Ian Aalberg, Andrew Wong, Grace Cha, Chloe Magby, and Piper Hackler.
The 5th grade met the goal of 100% participation by students in that classroom, with the 4th and 2nd grades right behind them. Congratulations and many thanks to each person that participated.
The fun isn’t over yet. Still to come is the Pig-Out Party and overall prize day.
GO LIONS!!!
Here we are sports fans! It has been a great start to our fall sports seasons. We have a lot of action going on.
The junior high programs are off and running! Soccer is led by coach Isaac Matei, who is coaching his team on the heels of a strong run through the Metro Christian Junior High League. Coach Matei has good numbers with solid players that were on the team last year. So far the team has two wins and one loss as they prepare to go into league play.
The junior high volleyball team is also having a great start! With a good blend of 7th and 8th graders, these girls show a lot of promise. They have won 4 matches to only one loss and are currently on a 3 game winning streak. We are very pleased to have new coach, alumna Molly White working with the girls! She has been a big hit among our players.
The high school soccer teams are enjoying their seasons as well. They are working hard to develop the players all the while competing in a very tough 1A/2A/3A league. Returning coach John Millen is building his team up and preparing them for the road ahead. The team has been playing well to start the season and hopes to have a strong second half!
Our school volleyball team is off to a fantastic start. They currently have 6 wins and 1 loss in league play. They are in a very competitive league this year, hoping to finish strong at district playoffs earning a berth to State! Coach Lewellen is very proud of what the team has been able to accomplish so far. The team is also very grateful to have Faith Mason on the coaching staff!
The Cheer squad, coached by Shawna Heard, is enjoying this fall season as they are preparing for cheer at a competitive level. They of course will be gracing the sidelines during the winter season, but are also going to be competing against other cheer squads on a regular basis . We are very proud of their hard work and are looking forward to seeing them in action in the weeks to come!
Come out and take in the action! You will find that this year’s teams are very fun and exciting to watch!
