Our middle school fall sports season came and went quickly, but what an incredible season it was! 💚💙
🏃♂️ Cross Country
Six middle school boys competed with heart and determination, pushing themselves each week to get better. Nearly everyone finished the season with a personal best! 💪
👏 A special shoutout to Tyson Yutzy, who medaled in every race and finished the season with an impressive 5:57 mile!
🏐 Volleyball
Our middle school volleyball girls showed up ready to work hard each day, giving their all in practices and games. They played with grit, supported one another, and showed tremendous growth in both skill and teamwork. We’re so proud of their determination and love for the game! 💥
🏈 Football
This was a rebuilding year for middle school football since it was the first team CCS has fielded in three years! The boys fully bought into the culture and structure being built in our football program. They finished the season 2–3, closing out with a thrilling road win against Norwich! We’re especially grateful for the five eighth graders who stepped up and helped lead the way this season.
Our middle school coaches are already excited for next season, and they look forward to continued growth in our young athletes! 💚💙

🍬🔬 Science is sweet!
Our third-graders recently had a hands-on biology activity in which they constructed animal cell models using Jello, Fruit by the Foot, and jelly beans. Each component represented a different part of the cell. What a fun and tasty way to learn! 🧫🍒
Our 5th graders have been busy learning both inside and outside the classroom! 👏
They recently visited the Sedgwick County Zoo, where they learned about fire safety from local firefighters, practiced CPR, explored emergency equipment, and even got to step inside an ambulance! 🚒🩺🐘
Back at school, they’ve been studying minerals and rocks with a special guest — Jack Jarrot, a friend of CCS whose family has deep roots in our school community. Each year, Jack shares his amazing rock collection and helps bring our science lessons to life. 🪨💡
We love seeing our students so engaged and excited about learning!
