CCS Spirit Week! February 13-17
 Calvary Christian School has a great tradition of celebrating the Lord and what He is doing at the school through our Spirit Week festivities. This fun week also serves as a way to break up the long winter and regular routine of school.
The week will have several special areas for the students, faculty and parents to participate, but the most popular is our daily dress theme.
Daily Dress Themes:
Monday- Blue and Gold Day- No uniform is needed today. Just wear an outfit that emphasizes the schoolcolors... blue and gold. Remember to become creative!
Tuesday- Twin or Triplet Day- Pair up with a friend and come dressed alike. Let's see what kind of ideas each group of students will have to show that unique twin or triplet way of dressing!
Wednesday- Career Day- When I grow up, I think God wants me to be... Um? Come dressed the way you will once you become what God has made you to be! Doctor, construction worker, computer person....
Thursday- Flashback... Back to the Past! Pick a decade: 50's, 60's, 70', 80's... oh yes, parents, even the 90's. (Are you feeling old yet? Come dressed to fit the decade of your choice. Even the 1860's will work with this one.
Friday- Fictional Character Day- Everybody has a favorite fictional character. Here is your chance to come to school dressed like the one you like the most!
There is one simple set of rules: Be modest, be safe, honor the Lord with your choices, and have fun!
Classroom Door Decoration Contest- Each class will decorate a door for Spirit Week!
Lower Campus Only- Special Musical Chairs Game Day
Classroom Banners Contest- 4th-12th Grade students will make class spirit banners.
Upper Campus Students Only- Pie Throwing Contest
Mr. Wallace (and any oher faculty members) will be targets of whip cream pies. The pies are $5 per three pie throws with proceeds to benefit the middle and high school mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

Middle and High School Mission Trip- Dominican Republic on May 1-8, 2012
 |
| Satellite View of the Dominican Republic |
The Calvary Christian Middle and High School Mission Team is very excited to be traveling out of the country this year. The twelve member team will be leaving for the Dominican Republic on May 1 and return on May 8. The team will be involved in children's ministry in local schools, churches, children homes, and on the streets. When our host missionary said to bring a sound system that ran on batteries because electric may not be available, we were very excited. This means that they plan on having us in places that electric is not nearby or that they suffer rolling blackouts across the country. Either way, the team will be prepared with dances, puppets, skits & dramas, and plenty of energy for showing the love of God to the children of the Dominican Republic.
This year's Calvary Impact Team has the theme "God's Children- His Treasure- Hope in Jesus". Please pray for the team as they meet each Saturday between now and the trip to prepare for ministry!

 Have you been looking for a fun, informal, group to meet with for regular Bible study? About twelve parents, faculty members, and students have been gathering in the lunch room at Calvary Christian School each Wednesday night at 6:30 to have the evening meal and then study of The Gospel of John.
Since we began meeting in August, the group has grown in number and in the quality of our relationships. It has been a true blessing to those who have attended. Please consider becoming involved. |

The phone lines at school will have a message on the status of school operations.
Emails are sent to parents if school must close early.
