Popsicles on the Playground
If you have a preschooler this coming fall, please join us on Thursday, June 9 at 6:30pm on the preschool playground for a "cool" hangout with other preschool families as we gear up for the 2026-2027 school year. Feel free to invite or bring other parents of preschool-aged children as we also use this as a way to introduce the community to our CCS Preschool. There will also be another popsicle event on August 4, same time!
Meet Up and Eat Up This Summer at CCS!
We are hosting a Meet Up and Eat Up community program at CCS this summer, 11:30-12:00pm Monday to Friday starting June 8.
