"The end of a thing is better than its beginning," Ecclesiastes says in Chapter 7:8, and we celebrated the end of the year with our first ever graduating class last weekend. The commencement ceremony highlighted the achievements of these seniors but also took time to remember the simple beginnings of our school 17 years ago.   Speakers Dr. Carl Brannan and Cole Anderson were careful to acknowledge God's hand in all that was said and done, that it was His Work and His hand that has caused the mustard seed planted in faith to grow into the school we now know.

 

As we close out the year's end, parents will be receiving reports cards, ERB testing results, summer reading lists, classroom supplies, and class lists through the newsletter and our RenWeb applications.  In an effort to streamline operations and registrations, we have moved many of our former paper systems online for your ease and convenience.  The summer reading lists are posted on the website, and supply lists, class lists, and updated Family Handbooks will be posted in July.

 

For our rising 7 th -12 th grade students, course registration instructions will be sent via email during the week June 12-16 for RenWeb registration.  We are beta testing this system now to be sure you will be able to choose the appropriate math class, electives, and language classes that apply to your students at each grade.  We appreciate your patience as we transition to this new online system.

 

Every good thing ends with gratefulness for God's hand of favor and the hard work so many others have contributed to the process.  As we take a short sigh of summer, join me in expressing gratitude for our teachers and families and ultimately to God for making everything beautiful in its time. Begin summer gently with some easy reading, and enjoy the rest as we make preparations for another fantastic year.   

	If you have unfinished business, our Upper and Lower School offices will be open for business this summer Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon.
Summer Reading	To view the summer reading lists, log on to RenWeb/announcements or click here to view our website page dedicated to summer reading.
Medication Pick-Up	For those parents who have inhalers/epi pens or other medications in the school office(s) and did not retrieve them on the last day of school, please remember to stop by any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 9:00 - 12:00 noon.
	Please be sure your Christ Covenant account balances have been paid and  is in good standing before the end of this school year.  If there are any questions, please contact Regan Waters, CFO at [email protected] if you are unsure.  Your child(ren) will not be considered enrolled for the 2017-2018 school year until all financial obligations have been met for the current school year.   Thank you!

Spartan Sports Information 

Dear Spartan Parents and Athletes,

Spartan Summer Athletic Opportunities / Camps:

Many of the Spartan Coaches have agreed to meet with our Spartan Athletes weekly throughout the summer to prepare for the upcoming 2017-2018 Spartan Sports teams. Below you will find the times, dates, locations, and costs for each of the sports offered this summer. Please email the coaches directly if you are interested. * These workouts are voluntary and will not be used to determine roster spots for our Spartan Sports teams.

The purpose of these workout sessions is to help Spartan athletes prepare for competition on one or multiple Spartan sports teams. We will focus on specific fundamentals for each of the sports.

Tennis:  Girls and Boys Tennis Summer Workouts: For more information about boys and girls tennis workouts, email Coach Styron directly.

Boys Basketball Workouts:

Volleyball Summer Workouts:

Volleyball Camp: Although the Spartan Volleyball camp is optional, all potential Spartan volleyball players are encouraged to attend. This is a good camp to shake away the off season dust and get a jump start on the 2017-2018 season. Camp participants who are first time volleyball players may also use the camp to determine their level of interest in volleyball without obligation to be on the Christ Covenant Volleyball Team.

Girls Basketball Workouts:

Note: There will not be a girl's summer basketball camp.

Middle School and Varsity Cross Country:  

Middle School and Varsity Cross Country Camp: The Spartan Cross Country Camp is optional, however; all potential Spartan runners are encouraged to attend the cross country camp. We have our first meet on August 14 two days before school begins and this camp will help the runners get in shape for the season.

Middle School, JV, and Varsity Boys Soccer Camp: Although the soccer camp is optional, all potential soccer players are encouraged to attend the soccer camp.
