Welcome Back for Quarter 3! We are officially halfway through the school year and are excited for another great quarter at CCS-America! Here are some Quarter 3 dates to remember:
Don’t forget to keep up to date with our 2025-2026 calendars: CCS-America Middle School Sports Calendar **************
Showcasing Learning Through Music A key part of CCS-America’s award-winning curriculum is the resource program. Each week, in addition to core subjects, students take classes in Physical Education, Art, Computer Lab, Music, and Character Education. One way that students are able to showcase what they’ve learned in their resource classes is through the Holiday Concerts. Students spend weeks in their music resource class preparing to give these performances to their families, friends, and communities. This year, students performed classic holiday favorites. They had costumes, props, and some surprise visits from very special guests, including Santa, the Grinch, and even a Christmas hippopotamus! While each campus’s concert was unique, the passion and effort students put into entertaining their audiences was evident in every performance. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the holiday fun and support your students. A special thank you to the CCS-America music teachers for their hard work in putting these programs together. In case you missed it, check out your school’s Facebook page for photos and videos from these festive performances: **************
Students of the Month: Generosity Virtue is an important part of CCS-America’s classical curriculum. Each month, students are recognized for displaying a specific character trait. Throughout the month, they learn and practice this trait, as well as recite it daily in our School Pledge. Generosity was the character trait for December. Generous students are selfless and share what they have with others. Generosity is seen in the School Pledge as “I pledge to be virtuous in all my deeds.” Students apply this commitment to their everyday lives by doing good for others without seeking anything in return. Congratulations to all CCS-A students who showed exceptional generosity! Check out December’s honorees using the links below: **************

Celebrating Our HeroesEvery year, CCS-America campuses hold their annual Veterans Day programs. Family members, veterans, and community members are invited to join each campus for a celebration dedicated to those who keep our country safe and protect our freedom.This year, under the guidance of their dedicated music teachers, students performed patriotic songs in honor of our veterans and the sacrifices they have made. Students worked hard and practiced diligently to make their performances the best they could be.Veterans, thank you for all you have done for us and for the United States of America. It was an honor to welcome you to our campuses and express our gratitude through these performances.Check out pictures from each campus below:
Happy 250th Birthday to the Marines!Founded on November 10, 1775, the United States Marine Corps has spent the last 250 years serving our country with honor and bravery. Marines have fought from the shores of Tripoli to the valleys of Afghanistan- always the most-ready when the nation is least-ready.Marines always answer the call of the Nation. On any given day, nearly 38,000 Marines are forward deployed around the globe, enabling them to be the first on scene, first to help, first to contain a brewing crisis, and if required to do so, first to fight anywhere for as long as it takes. Marines stand always ready.Those who have worn the uniform continue to serve through the way they live their lives, leading the way in their communities and embodying the spirit of “Once a Marine, always a Marine.” At CCS-America, we are lucky to have multiple former Marines on our staff and serving at our schools. They bring to our campuses their core values of honor, courage, and commitment, living out their motto Semper Fidelis—‘Always Faithful.’The Roger Bacon Academy:Mr. Steve Smith, served from 1979-2006, retired as a Sergeant MajorMs. Katie Boyce, served from 2007-2011, CorporalCCS-LelandMr. Robert Wingett, served from 1981-2002, retired as a Master SergeantMr. Joe Flores, served from 2011-2019, SergeantMs. Stephanie Doyle, served from 2007-2010, Lance CorporalCCS-WhitevilleMr. Christopher Mitchell, served from 1994-2000, CorporalHappy Birthday, Marines! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our freedom and safety!Please join us in celebrating 250 years of the Marine Corps’ faithful service to our nation.*************
What is Ready Position?At CCS-America, we believe that strong learning begins with strong habits. One of these important habits is ‘ready position’, a posture that prepares students for instruction and helps them stay focused in the classroom.To achieve ready position, students sit facing forward with their chairs scooted under their desks and their feet flat on the floor. They fold their hands on their desks, keep their heads up, and direct their eyes towards the board, awaiting instruction. This position signals that they are prepared to listen, learn, and fully engage with the lesson.By practicing ready position every day, students build positive habits that they will carry with them beyond their time at CCS-America.*************
