Crossville Christian School

WE MADE IT!  THE HUNDREDTH DAY OF SCHOOL! EVERYONE IS 100 DAYS SMARTER! LET’S CELEBRATE THE PROGRESS EACH AND EVERY CHILD HAS MADE DURING THE FIRST 100 SCHOOL DAYS, REFLECT UPON THE GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE NEXT 80 SCHOOL DAYS AND REJOICE THAT THE LORD HAS PURPOSELY BROUGHT CCS TO THE NEXT PHASE OF IT’S FUTURE!

“God’s plans are unfolding day by day, and if we keep our eyes and our heart open, He’ll reveal His plans.  God has big things in store for us, but He may have quite a few lessons to teach us before we are fully prepared to do His will and fulfill His purposes.”

SCHOOL IS CLOSED TODAY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13 DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER AND CCS WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, JANUARY 16 IN HONOR OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING’S BIRTHDAY.

“When you are right you cannot be too radical; and when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Hooray for Christmas trees and candlelight and the good old church pageant.  Hooray for shepherd boys who forget their lines and wise men whose beards fall off and a Mary who giggles. 

O Lord, you were born!  And I will celebrate!  I rejoice for the carnival of Christmas!  I clap for the pajama-clad cherubs And the Christmas cards jammed in the mail slot.  I o-o-o-oh for the turkey and ah-h-h-h for the Christmas pudding and thank God for the alleluias I see in the faces of people. 

O Lord, there aren’t enough choir boys to sing what I feel.  There aren’t enough trumpets to blow.  O Lord, I want bells to peal!  I want to dance in the streets of Bethelehem!  I want to sing with the heavenly host!

For unto us a Son was given and he was called God With Us.  For those of us who believe, The whole world is decorated in love! ~ Ann Weems

CCS WISHES EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!
