It's almost here....our 12th Annual CCABC Crawfish Boil, will be held on Friday May 10th. If you haven't had Tim Zaunbrecher and Zaunbrecher Farms crawfish, you are certainly in for a treat! Each year they seem to be getting better and better, if that's even possible.

If you are "new" to CCS, let me introduce you to our fundraiser that raises money for CCS athletics and what we provide. We provide support to our athletic department in ways that allow us to help with purchasing the necessary equipment for all sports so that our boys and girls can play their particular sport safely and effectively. We will soon share pictures of what we were able to accomplish this year with your help.

Crawfish (3lbs with corn and potatoes) will sell for $20 each. Pickup will be in our car line on Versailles (3-6pm) on the 10th. As a reminder....ALL athletic families are required to sell (5) CCABC Crawfish Boil tickets per family. eTickets with a QR code will be sent to your email address once orders are placed. This will be your ticket that will be scanned when you pick up your order(s) on May 10th.

As always, THANK YOU for your support and please access the link below to purchase your tickets. Questions? Please contact Kevin Decuir at [email protected].

CCS 5th grader, Emmeline Rhodes, won 1st Place in the recent Writes of Spring competition. The contest was open to 3rd-5th graders and Emmeline walked away with top honors in the Personal Narrative category with her piece entitled The Great Ice Cream Truck Chase.

The annual Writes of Spring Writing Contest involves K-12 Grade students residing in Lafayette Parish or the surrounding parishes. Students submit original pieces of fiction, personal narratives, or poetry in English, French, or Spanish.

Emmeline received a recognition certificate for her creativity and also a congratulatory letter from Louisiana Lieutenant Governor, Billy Nungesser.

Keep writing, Emmeline!

Any student going on this trip must be accompanied by a parent. A Parent Informational Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 2nd at 6PM in the CCS Library.

Coach Kerry Bouman will be hosting a Summer Wresting Camp for elementary, middle, and high school students. Beginners will learn the fundamental skills of wrestling including stance and motion, shot/shot defense, and mat wrestling. Advanced wrestlers will continue to fine tune fundamental skills and incorporate higher level techniques and mat strategies.

Coach Boumans has an impressive resume and looks forward to training all the students. The camp will be held at STM. Please view flyer below for more details, including registration.

CCS is excited to participate in helping raise funds for Miles Perret Cancer Services and rolled out our fundraising campaign on Thursday. The CHANGE FOR MILES service project was designed specifically for students. The goal is to collect loose change in the Change for Miles bottles provided. It is an easy and fun way to raise money while, in turn, making a direct impact on the lives of local families who are fighting, surviving, and living with cancer. Our campaign will began on April 25th and ends on Friday, May 3rd.

Bottles for the Coins should have come home yesterday but some will be coming home today. Ask your child(ren) about them. We ask that you help in making it a fun project for your children. We love a healthy competition and the students have been given incentives to participate! There are three (3) competitive groups: 1) PreK-1st & TREC 2) 2nd-4th & REC 3) 5th-8th.

Together....we can make CHANGE happen! See links below for more information.
At the end of the campaign, all bottles must be returned so they may be reused by the Miles Perret Cancer Center.

What a FANTASTIC Enrichment Showcase we were blessed with on Thursday and Friday. So much hard work put in by the drama students and it showed! Not only did we have an amazing drama performance, but we were also entertained by our gifted student musicians and visually, as well, by our amazing student artwork. Thanks to all who worked so hard!

PBA would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all who helped make our annual Ladies’ Tennis Tournament a success! Our FANTASTIC committee served up a perfect day for the many teams, winners and all who came out to support the event.
