Lane is Now an ALUMNI of CCS

Alumni Reception

submitted by Mrs. Kerri Neis

As a part of the Catherine Cook 8th grade graduation ritual last Friday, graduates and alumni attended the 2nd Annual CCS Alumni Induction Ceremony. Alumni gathered to reconnect and share stories of life beyond CCS in high school and college. Alumni that had been previously inducted into the CCS Alumni Association welcomed the 2010 graduates into the group by pinning them with their official CCS Alumni Pin. The visitors enjoyed refreshments and a visit with old friends and favorite teachers. They also toured the hallways noting the many changes that have taken place over the years in the school and reflected on happy memories of their elementary and middle school years within the comfort of the walls of CCS.

3rd annual CCS Language Olympics.

Our sombreros and berets go off to you this week as we enjoy the highlights of our 3rd annual Language Olympics. The success of this year’s event was definitely heightened by your involvement. Thank you for making time in your schedules to help us make this year’s Language Olympics the best one yet! Thanks also for your flexibility in accommodating our indoor “contingency” plan which turned out to house us perfectly. Although the storm did not strike, there were far fewer balls kicked “out of bounds” and lots of contained amusement for our students.

We believe we were successful in helping our Spanish and French students become more aware of the connections between language and team work. They now have a greater sense of how to connect with different parts of the world with the quickly approaching 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Larry Lubell has put together a lovely photo montage of the non-stop, fun-filled day that honored language, culture, competition and team work that reminds us of some of the great moments of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuKSv0kvNts

We are blessed at CCS to have unparalleled and amazing Parent resources.

Gracias &; Merci

Lane's Eighth Grade Grad Party #1

Lane's class Bar-B-Que was held at Finkl Steel. OK we were not in the same room as one of the Blast-furnaces. 

It was great fun to once again gather together with so many people with whom we have grown so close. At the same time it was yet another reminder that a stage.... A very big stage of life is coming to a close.
