TELL SOMEBODY CAMPAIGN: We need to increase enrollment at CCS. Do you ever tell people about CCS? If you are alumni,
a parent of alumni, a current family, a grandparent, a volunteer or long-time supporter…think about the benefits you have experienced or observed. We all need to “TELL SOMEBODY” why we have invested now or in the past at CCS and what the benefits are for today’s families to send their children to CCS! If you “TELL SOMEBODY” and it brings a new family to CCS, you will receive a $350 discount off your family’s tuition. If you bring a new family to CCS, but don’t currently have children at CCS, you will receive a $25 gift card.

We will need all friends to RSVP ahead of time so that the teachers have a head count ahead of time. Watch the next memo for an RSVP form. This is a way that potential new students can visit CCS. Spread the word to possible new CCS families!

KINDERGARTEN ROUND UP: Help spread the word that Kindergarten Round Up will be Friday, March 9thfrom 9:00 – 11:00 am.

SAVE THE DATE - CULVER'S NIGHT:Take a break from cooking! Come join us and eat at Culver's restaurant on Tuesday, Feb. 20th anytime between 5-8 pm and CCS will receive 10% of all sales during those hours. What an easy way to "give" to CCS!
