**We are pleased to announce the Shawn Achor will be visiting CCS on Tuesday, January 19th in the Sanctuary at 9am. Shawn has spent over a decade at Harvard University teaching on positive psychology. For more information on Shawn and his work please click here.

 **We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Break! Let's start the new year off ON TIME! :) It's incredibly important that your children arrive at school on time so that they don't miss critical learning time! Let us know if you need help getting your sleepy ones going again...we're here to work with you!


 * We started telling time to the quarter hour this week! If you are able to a little extra work at home will help your child tremendously. We say, "quarter to, quarter til' or quarter before and quarter after, quarter past." '

For example, 3:45 is "quarter before 4." Please let us know if you would like more information on this or if it is unclear.

 January 15th is our first non-community service field trip! We are so excited to be going to Pepperdine University to see Aesop Bops! Click here to go to the Pepperdine website for more information. They have a number of wonderful family friendly performances. Students will need to be in their Calvary uniforms and have a SACK LUNCH (a bag that can be thrown away). Please pack a light snack for your child to eat when we arrive at Pepperdine.
