CCS Middle School Students Care . . .
"Calvary Cares" Day
CCS 6th grade students participated in community service as part of the recent "Calvary Cares" day. The students were divided into two groups.

The first group visited Hamilton House Nursing Home where they met with residents, played games and exercised with them. The girls painted ladies' fingernails and the boys performed an impromptu song for the residents. The visit put smiles on their faces and meant alot to the men and women of Hamilton House.

CCS Middle School Honors Choir

Congratulations to CCS middle school students who were selected to participate in the Middle School Honors Choir.

Students rehearsed their music prior to a weekend clinic and concert held at Hardaway High School in Columbus. The guest clinician for the weekend workshop was Dr. Elizabeth Parker of the Schwob School of Music, Columbus State University. The middle school "all-select" chorus had well over 400 middle school choir members from Muscogee County and surrounding areas. This was a great honor for our students to be selected to participate in this event.
