Multicultural day- On Wednesday, we will be celebrating multicultural day here at CCS. This United day will go to support the Archbishop’s Charities (Door is Open, Men’s Hostel, Prison Ministry…) All Catholic schools are asked to designate one day in the year to raise money for this charity. Students may come to school dressed in anything that represents their culture! Popcorn will be available for an extra $1
Spring Performances- PLEASE stay for the entirety of the show and do not leave after your child has performed as it disrupts the students and other parents. A lot of hard work has gone into this performance and the students would appreciate it if you could stay until the end. Doors open 30 minutes before the show. (NO EARLY ENTRANCE OR SEAT SAVING). A donation box will be available for any donations you can make towards our Fine Arts program. Thank you in advnace!
School Uniforms- A second fitting day has been added (May 11) due to popular demand. Information will be sent home early next week.
