Reality Check

High school students received a “Reality Check” last week during our first Reality Fair hosted by Tri County Credit Union. 9th-10th grade students received information on credit cards, checkbooks, savings accounts, student loans, etc. Students asked great questions as they started to learn about the adult world of finances. 

Juniors and Seniors played the game of Life. When they entered the chapel, they became 24 years of age and had to determine if they had a trade degree, bachelor’s, master’s degree or just a high school diploma. This correlated to the student loan amount and their salary. Next they were asked if they lived with parents, owned a house, rented, bought a new or used car, had a pet, health and car insurance coverage. Once all of that was determined, they had to figure out how much of their salary was left for clothing, groceries, entertainment, and savings. Mrs. Pritt recommended watching Borrowed Future on Amazon and Money, Explained on Netflix to learn more. 

Congratulations to our Annual CCS Scripps Spelling Bee Winners!

Our 2023 top spellers this year were selected from over 250 participants!


First Place–Lilah Donatelli (8th grade)
Runner-Up #1–Ian McCafferty (6th grade)
Runner-Up #3–Jayden Wu (5th grade)
Congratulations to all three of these students!


Due to outside circumstances for the first two winning students, Jayden will be the one moving
on to represent CCS at the Regional Spelling Bee to be held in March. If he wins at this level, he
will then move on to represent CCS in the National Spelling Bee to be held in May.

Please help us cheer him on! Congratulations again!
