Calhoun Christian School's calendar and daily schedules for the 2025-2026 school year.
Thursday, December 4

Families are invited to enjoy a Christmas program for our preschool and elementary students, beginning at 6:00 pm on Thursday, December 4. K-4 students should wear Christmas colors and bring a hat, scarf, and mittens/gloves as props for the program.
A cookie reception will follow the program. If families are willing to bake traditional cookies for the program (we have some old-fashioned recipes you can request from pitcrew@calhounchristian.org), we would love the help.
Friday, December 5
December 5, 2025
December 5, 2025 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Travel back in time to Bethlehem and experience the birth of Jesus Christ! Walk through Mary’s home, visit Joseph’s workshop, and join the shepherds out in the field. Our CCS 5th–12th graders will bring the Christmas story to life as we transform our school into the sights and sounds of Bethlehem.
Come and remember the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of our Lord and Savior.
The Live Nativity begins at 6:00pm from the CCS gymnasium.
A cookie reception will follow in the CCS cafeteria.
