WINTERIM

Dear Middle School Parents:

 

The fifth through eighth grade winterim trip will be to the Camp Greenville Outdoor Environmental Education Center in Cedar Mountain, NC March 23 - 25, 2011. We will leave school at 7:00am on Wednesday March 23, and return for regular dismissal on Friday March 25.

 

This trip is designed to incorporate aspects of our science curriculum with outdoor education. In addition, winterim is unique because it exposes the students to the environment and our ecology, with many of the activities taking place outdoors. For instance, students will be participating on hikes to learn about the ecology and environment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To add, students will gain experience orienteering, making night sky observations, leadership, team building, and other outdoor adventure activities (please refer to the next page for more information about the Greenville Outdoor Environmental Education Center). Every student is expected to attend, as this trip is a regular part of the curriculum.

 

The cost of the trip is $150.00, which includes lodging, activities, transportation and all meals and snacks. Students will be sleeping in heated cabins with bunk beds; the boys and girls will be in separate cabins. Attached, you will find medical release forms, a packing list and itinerary detailing your child's experience. Please sign the form below and return it along with the medical release form and full payment (made payable to CCS) to Mr. Hemingway no later than March 18. If you have any questions please email Mr. Hemingway at bhemingway@charlestoncollegiate.org.

WEAR RED DAY
On Tuesday, February 22, all students are encouraged to WEAR RED in support of American Heart Month! This will be a blue/gold competition - whichever team is "redder" wins 25 points! Lower and Middle School grades will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart on that day as well.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE BOOK FAIR!

Friends of the CCS Library are so happy to report the BEST Book Fair ever.  Our theme was carnival and streamers from a center point have made the library very festive.  The OOOhs and AAAhs as the students entered were music to our ears.  Students, their Parents and their Grandparents contributed to the success as well surpassing the amount made last year. 

Thanks you to our very generous school community, and our extended school community!
