Annual Fund Participation Drive

2011-04-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

Achieving excellence requires commitment from everyone. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating our students and maintaining our first-rate faculty. Donations provide the essential funds needed for curriculum development, faculty, scholarships and operating costs.

Starting Wednesday, April 6, we will launch our Annual Fund Participation Drive at the classroom level. Our goal is 100%!! The classroom with the highest percentage of Annual Fund contributors will win a great afternoon out: a special lunch out followed by fun afternoon activities. The lunch has been generously donated by this year’s Annual Fund Chairs Lori and David Butler. The contest is only for the number of contributors, not the amount contributed. Previous contributions to this year's Annual Fund will count towards your class; however, only donations specified for the Annual Fund will count. The contest will conclude Friday, April 29.

Every gift no matter the size helps. Your tax-deductible contribution will make a significant difference to CCS students immediately and in years to come.

We can accept donations online via PayPal using a credit card. You can find a link to our PayPal account via Facebook and our school website.

2011-04-01T12:21:00.001-07:00

The date has been set for the Second Annual CCS Latin Bee!

Since there are now two sections of Latin we will host two separate events on the same day. The Latin Bee is scheduled for Thursday, May 19.

Latin I will begin at 9 a.m. in the Parish Hall. Latin I students all have a list of words to begin studying.

Latin II students will be begin at 10 a.m. also in the Parish Hall. Vocabulary words for these students have been handed out as well. This will be a very challenging competition because of the more advanced words we have studied this year in Latin II.

This was such a fun competition last year, going several rounds into the tie-breaker phase. I really look forward to the Latin Bee this year! I'm so proud of all my students.

Important Reasons to Learn Spanish!

2011-03-21T07:09:00.001-07:00

1. Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world! In about 25 countries, Spanish is the first language! Travel is lots more fun, if you speak the language of the people who live there!

2. Spanish and English share many words in common - most are of Latin origin. Plus, it is easier to learn other romance languages (those derived from Latin or "roman") such as Italian, Portuguese, and French!

3. Learning a second language makes one a better student! The more conections you feed your brain, the smarter you will be! AND - it is proven that students who learn a foreign language excel in college entrance exams!

4. To learn another language opens our hearts and minds to other peoples and their cultures - "to know another's language is to begin to know his heart . . ."!

5. It is FUN!

Why Learn Latin?

2011-03-01T11:53:00.000-08:00

I just came across this interesting information and wanted to share it! Latin is fun! Latin is beneficial! And, Latin is important!

Across the nation, studies have shown Latin to be effective in improving...

SAT Scores
Studies conducted by the Educational Testing Service show that Latin students consistently outperform all other students on the verbal portion of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT).
Click Here for more information.

College Grade Point Average
A study of freshman college student performance conducted by the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1985 yielded the following results:

Language GPA
Latin Students 2.89
No Foreign Language 2.58
Spanish Students 2.76
German Students 2.77
French Students 2.78

Reading Achievement, Vocabulary Skills, Math Problem Solving...and so much more!

We are so lucky to have Latin at CCS for our students!
