Our first camp out of the year was a great success! We had over 75 people show up for the activities and movie with 35 of those brave enough to rough it for the camping. We would like to thank, Stewart Bowers, Tyler Swain, Jenny Moya, Alex Westmoreland, and Ian Sanchez for volunteering their time to educate parents and students about the environment in our outdoor classroom. We were able to raise $265 for the outdoor classroom through activities, camping, and a raffle prize from Barrier Island Eco-Tours. Our next scheduled movie/camp out will take place on November 12th starting at 4:00. More details are to follow. We'd also like to know what you thought about the evening. Please offer any suggestions to make our next camp out an even greater success.
Thanks for everyone's support and we look forward to seeing you soon.

We schedule shifts in 30 minute increments so you can have play time with your child(ren) and also socialize with other parents. This is a great day to get to know some of our newer families and mingle. If you are interested in helping with this event or have any questions, please contact Tiffany Frank at tfrank@charlestoncollegiate.org.

| GINGERBREAD HOUSE | |
Gingerbread House Requests  During the week of December sixth, the little green trailer on campus, turns into a holiday boutique for the lower school students. They will come with their class to do their secret shopping for family and friends. We are asking parents that if during their fall cleaning, they consider donating new or nearly new items to this endeavor. Currently, we are in need of gifts for dads, grandpas and older brothers, but any resalable merchandise will be appreciated. Nothing will be priced over $5, and also, consider that items need to take up just a little bit of table space, so no over-sized items please. You may drop donations in the front lobby, and label them "Gingerbread House." There are also opportunities for parents to get involved during that week, by volunteering their time to a myriad of elfly duties. If you're interested in joining in, please contact Lois Daughtridge at 708-8972, or email: loisdaughtridge@me.com. |
