Teaching is Heart Work We are incredibly proud and grateful to all of our extraordinary educators who have worked tirelessly with students and families to ensure every student has the tools to learn, grow, and thrive. We wanted to give a special shout-out to our 20-21 RBA Top Performers. Last year, these teachers and their hardworking students earned the overall highest growth out of our RBA school district! Specifically, these classes displayed ten or more points of growth overall in a whole group setting with all of their students (online and on campus) combined. Kathryn Bannerman, CCS-Leland, 8th Grade Lisa Fairweather, CCS-Southport, 1st Grade Amanda Sauls, CCS-Wilmington, 4th Grade Stefanie Smith, CCS-Southport, 3rd Grade Nora Terry, CCS-Whiteville, 1st Grade Katherine Tripp, CCS-Leland, 4th Grade Teacher Appreciation Week at CCS-America will take place on May 2-6. We are using this time to honor teachers and recognize the lasting contributions they make to students’ lives. Check your school’s calendar, Facebook, or reach out to your child’s teacher directly to see how you can participate! |

Earth Day Celebrations at CCS-America Students at CCS-America celebrated Earth Day by learning about our environment and participating in fun activities. Students tidied up and beautified our campuses, planted flowers, learned about the animals in our environment, painted rocks, and so much more! Earth Day is a wonderful reason to celebrate our beautiful campuses and to remember to take care of them so that we can provide our students with the best learning environment possible! Thank you to the parents who joined us and enjoyed these celebrations at each CCS-America school! |

Students of the Month Character education is an important part of the CCS-America curriculum. Each month, students are recognized for displaying a specific character trait that they are not only learning and practicing, but also recite daily in our Pledge. March’s character trait was Gratefulness. Students who are grateful show appreciation for what they have and do. Gratefulness is seen in the Pledge as “I Pledge to be virtuous in all my deeds.” These students apply these words to their everyday lives by appreciating the people in their lives. And by saying “please” and “thank you”, and enjoying what they have instead of wanting what someone else has. Congratulations to all of these students who demonstrated exemplary gratefulness.
