The CCS Chorus and Band presented a Spring Concert last April 29th. 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 and guest performers from Epiphany of Our Lord, 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.

CCS had it's Annual Art Festival last April 29th. The children from Grades 1 - 8 showcased their artistic talents as their artwork was displayed in the auditorium during the Spring Concert. The exhibit featured colorful paintings, pictures, drawings, and sculptures. Stephanie Zakrzewski, CCS art teacher, organized the event.

The entire primary campus participated in the 4H “Egg to Chick” Embryology Project. A farmer from 4H brought eggs to our school in an incubator. The children went up to the Science and Nature room daily to observe the eggs in the incubator and note any changes. After many days of waiting and watching the eggs in the incubator, the 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.

On Saturday, April 24 the CCS Advanced Band traveled to Villanova University to perform at the National Catholic Band Association Festival.  The band performed very well, and will receive a Certificate of Participation from the event.  The Band members in attendance were:  James Stanish, Annie Kennedy, Marie Frazer, Sarah Frazer, Jordan Courtney, and Luke Kincaid.
 

CCS Primary Campus had their annual Easter Egg Hunt last Wednesday, March 31st. 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 fun time.

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.

Last October 29th, 2009, the CCS Primary Campus celebrated Halloween with a special parade and party. It was quite a parade of little monsters as the children wore masks of spooky ghosts, werewolves, cats, vampires, and witches. Each class also decorated special "trick or treat" t-shirts to wear with their masks. After parading, the children entertained the audience with some very scarry Halloween songs. The celebration ended with many delicious treats generously provided by our parents!

Conshohocken Catholic School celebrated First Friday Mass on October 2 with the induction of the Student Council for the 2009-2010 school year.
