On Friday, February 13, 2026, CCS celebrated Grandparents and Special Friends Day. This is always an exciting day for our elementary students. Hundreds of grandparents and special friends were welcomed with coffee and breakfast, and a special welcome and greeting from Vice President of Academics, Patrick Reents. During the chapel service in honor of our CCS grandparents and special friends, the elementary grade levels each performed for their special guests.
The theme for Grandparents and Special Friends Day this year was “Walking the Path of Faith Together”. After chapel, students led their special guests through the courtyard, stopping at various sites along the way.
- At site one, students presented their special guest with a colorful rock of remembrance that each student created by hand.
- At site two, guests created a unique trail mix snack to fuel their journey.
- Site three was a cozy fireside chat in which students and special friends took turns asking each other meaningful questions designed to deepen their connection.
- Site four was inside the elementary classrooms, where grandparents and special friends met students’ teachers and saw what exciting things they have been learning.
- Professional photographers were available, as were instant pictures with fun backdrops for photo opportunities.
We at CCS feel blessed to have so many grandparents and special friends enjoy this event with us. Thank you to everyone who joined our elementary students for a fun and memorable morning.
