| 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. |
| TEAM SHOP | |
The Charleston Collegiate Team Shop is now open. Please look in the "Latest News" section of the school's website and click on the "Check out the CCS Team Shop" link. Please support our athletic department by selecting, decorating, and purchasing any of the listed items. The Team Shop will close on September 30 to allow for processing all orders placed by the deadline. Once all orders are processed, the Team Shop will reopen.
Please contact the Athletic Director, Jay Godbolt at 559-5506 x 225 if you have questions. |
