Welcome New Staff!
We've had a few changes in our staff since Spring Break that we'd like to share with our school family.
 
Mrs. Carla Clack has assumed Mrs. Bess Farris' class since she left to await the birth of baby Charlie. Mrs. Clack's new assistant is Mrs. Lois Johnson, a very experienced elementary assistant. 
 
Our middle school assistant, Mrs. Asbury, also left to have her baby after Spring Break. Mrs. Marta King, a former CDS parent and highly experienced middle and high school teacher, has joined our staff to replace Mrs. Asbury.
 
We are grateful to the Lord for his provision of excellent teachers and assistants, and we pray God's blessings on them all as they enter new phases of their lives.  
It's a girl . . .
buzz bookWe are pleased to announce the arrival of Josephine Clair "Josie" Asbury, daughter of Neal and Jenny Asbury (middle school assistant), Sunday, March 28.  She weighed 8lbs. 6oz.  Mom, Dad, big sister, Abigail, and baby are doing great!
