Lighted Tractor Parade
It's official!!! CCS will be driving our beautiful vintage bus in the lighted tractor parade on the evening of December 8 in Centralia. CCS families are welcome take part in this fun activity. We can use your help in a variety of ways. We need candy canes to hand out - LOTS of them! We are looking for the small wrapped kind of candy cane. If you could donate a bag or two, that would be wonderful. We also need LOTS of colored lights. If you have lights we could borrow we we would be most appreciative. The more lights we have, the more festive our bus will look. We also need help decorating the bus. Our first bus decorating party will be this Saturday at 11:00. All this decorating will be lots of fun and good for SALT hours too!
Shoeboxes!We love the Operation Christmas Child ministry and a few weeks ago we were able to send 66 Shoeboxes off to different countries around the world! Thank you all for blessing these kids!
Auction Raffle TicketsIf you have raffle tickets that need to be turned in, don't forget to do so by Dec. 14! Also if you have sold all your tickets and would like more, we do have some available in the office! Just a reminder that the winner will be announced December 18 at the CCS Christmas Program and the winner does not need to be present to win.
Christmas Wreath SalesTo raise money for the 2018 Washington D.C. trip, our Middle School students are taking orders for Christmas greens. These beautiful wreaths, centerpieces and other greens are made locally and delivered fresh. If you want your order to benefit a specific student, contact them directly for ordering information. Orders turned in to the office will be divided among all participating students. We appreciate your support!
SALT Hour OpportunitiesWe are still in need of a Sound Tech for our Christmas Program on December 18th! If this is something that you like to do, please contact Miss Bosman at:
kbosman@centraliachristianschool.org
Do you have some time to spare? We have a couple jobs that could be done any time that suits your schedule.
- Install a gate in the chain link fence (we have the materials needed)
- Remove a few areas of wallpaper (we will supply you with the necessary tools)
CCS YearbooksDon't forget to order your 2018-19 School Yearbook! The cost is $25 and order deadline is January 18!
Call for Parent LiaisonsWe still have a need for a representative, or parent liaison, in the following local churches: Centralia Church of God, Bethel Downtown Centralia, Life Center and Shoestring Valley Community Church. If you attend one of these churches, would you consider representing Centralia Christian School at your church? This is a 10 SALT Hour commitment. We ask that liaisons make mention of CCS in their churches four times within the year. This can be with a simple informational announcement, a bulletin insert, showing a CCS video, or whatever creative idea you come up with to promote CCS in your church community. If you are interested in finding out more, please call our parent liaison director, Karen DeFilippo at 425-280-1783.
Giving TreeDuring the Christmas season we have had parents or grandparents ask if they could purchase anything that the school might need. So we put up a "Christmas Giving Tree" in our foyer with labeled ornaments that have individual items printed on them. If this is something you would like to do, just pick out an ornament and bring the item back to the school whenever it is convenient for you! Thank you so much!
Favorite Things BookWith Christmas coming up, if anyone is interested in buying a gift for your students teacher, we do have a "My Favorite Things & Coffee List" book in the office you can take a peak at!
Loaned ClothesOur supply of clothes to loan out is getting a little low. If your child has borrowed clothes we would love to get them back so we can offer the students a better selection if needed. Also if you have any girls leggings sizes 4-10 that your child has outgrown and you just don't know what to do with them, we would love to give them a home!
