The 9th Annual History Bowl On Friday, April 25th, Classical Charter Schools of Leland hosted the 9th annual CCS-America History Bowl. Teams from CCS-Leland, CCS-Southport, and CCS-Whiteville competed, with students representing fifth through eighth grade. Students spent the year preparing for the History Bowl, studying up to 400 questions. Any of these questions could be asked during the competition. To get comfortable with the format of the competition, they also participate in two Mock History Bowls during the year. To earn points, team members must answer their questions quickly and accurately. If needed, teams can use a limited number of “lifelines” to ask another team member for help. In addition to showcasing their academic abilities, the event emphasizes teamwork, professionalism, and sportsmanship. Congratulations to the following grades and campuses for bringing home the trophies! The competition was close, and all students should take pride in their hard work and performances. 🏆 6th grade: CCS-Leland 🏆 7th grade: CCS-Leland 🏆 8th grade: CCS-Leland **************
Piano Donated to CCS-Wilmington Last Tuesday, a beautiful piano arrived in the CCS-Wilmington auditorium. The moving company “Two Men and a Truck” delivered and set up the instrument on the stage. The Yamaha piano was generously donated to the school by Howard Talley, a longtime friend of Classical Charter Schools of America and current Board of Trustees member. Mr. Talley is also the Wilmington Chess Club coach. The piano once belonged to his mother, Betsey. “I am excited for the piano to have this new home. I’m hopeful it will get lots of use and bring lots of music and joy to the students,” shared Mr. Talley. We are very thankful to Mr. Talley for this meaningful donation! The piano will bring a new level of excitement to the campus, especially in music class. Click on the link below to see some pictures of the piano in the CCS-Wilmington auditorium: **************
CCS-Whiteville Presents: Peter Pan! Last Thursday, CCS-Whiteville middle schoolers presented their spring musical, Peter Pan! They performed to an audience full of parents and the CCS-Whiteville first grade classes. The talented show choir and drama students dazzled the audience, taking them on a magical journey through Neverland. Peter Pan, Wendy, and their friends encountered pirates, fairies, mermaids, and more! The musical also highlighted character traits that are taught in CCS-America’s character education curriculum, including dependability, courage, and responsibility. The value of family was also a central theme. Congratulations to CCS-Whiteville for putting on such a wonderful show! Special thanks to director Tessa Cheek and show choir director Magnolia Hunt for all of their hard work. Students, take a bow! *************
Showcasing CCS-America Electives At Classical Charter Schools of America, middle school students have the opportunity to choose an elective to take once a week, allowing them to explore their interests and develop new skills. Over the past month, all three CCS-America middle school campuses have held Elective and Performing Arts Showcases. At each showcase, students demonstrated to parents and members of the community what they have been working on in their elective classes all year. While each campus’s showcase had a unique lineup, some highlights included demonstrations of cheerleading, archery, show choir, musical instruments, and student artwork. See pictures from each campus’s showcase below: **************
