Congratulations to our Primary Campus students for another successful chick hatch! On April 21st a farmer from Quiver Farms came in to tell us all about hens, roosters, and how chicks are born.  She gave us an incubator filled with 12 eggs and told us how to care for them. After many days of waiting and watching our eggs in the incubator, 10 chicks hatched from their eggs. They were very wet and tired as we transferred them from the incubator to the brooder box. After they regained their energy and their feathers dried, we took turns petting and holding them. The children refilled water and food containers as our chicks grew bigger and stronger each day. Finally, the farmer returned to take them back to their farm family!

The CCS Chorus and Band presented a Spring Concert last April 23rd. The CCS Beginning Band performed first on the program.  The beginner bands consist of 4th grade students who are completing their first year in the band program.  Then the CCS Chorus, under the direction of Sr. Regina Dougherty, entertained everyone with their beautiful songs and voices. The CCS Advanced Band performed in the second half of the program. The CCS Advanced Band consists of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. The CCS Band was lead under the direction of Mr. Keith Miller.

CCS had it's First Art Festival last April 23rd. The purpose of the Art Festival was to showcase the artistic talents of the CCS students from Pre-K 3 to Eight Grade. The exhibit featured colorful paintings, pictures, drawings, and sculptures. Stephanie Zakrzewski, CCS art teacher, organized the event with the help of CCS primary school faculty.

CCS Primary Campus had their annual Easter Egg Hunt last Wednesday, April 8th.

The Primary Campus Students searched high and low for eggs filled with goodies, that were hidden all around the play ground. They also had a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, who gave everyone hugs and stayed for pictures. Everyone had a blast on the hunt. A fun time was had by all.

This dramatization of The Living Stations is a portrayal of the final hours leading to Jesus’ crucifixion.

The presentation is a visual reminder of Christ’s suffering.

In the Living Stations, the 6th, 7th and 8th Graders take the roles of the various people in the traditional 14 scenes of the Stations of the Cross and the Resurrection, featuring a series of readings and inspirational songs.
