Welcome Coach Kris to A1 Chargers Girls Basketball | |
|
As we share our appreciation for our teachers this week, we extend our love and respect to all our coaches, as well. CCLS is blessed to have so many parents and staff members coaching our athletic teams. I am excited to announce that, as Coach Hogan retires from coaching our girls’ A1 basketball team (after 50 years of coaching), the Lord has blessed us with a new basketball coach.
Coach Kristina Paul played Division I basketball (2001-04) and Division 1 volleyball (2005) at Drake University, including a trip to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2002. She was a social worker and part-time youth director before heading to Concordia Seminary, where she earned a MA in Practical Theology and her Deaconess Certification. She currently serves as the Connections Coordinator at Concordia Kirkwood, helping members connect with each other and to service opportunities both within Concordia and out in the community. She also leads the Women's Ministry and supports families with children with special needs.
She has a combined 11 years of coaching experience at both the high school and grade school levels. Coach Kris is passionate about helping young players grow through sport, promoting strong fundamentals while instilling a love of playing the game.
She married Nate in June of 2009, and together they have three children: Jackson (born 2012), Claire (born 2015), and Oliver (born 2017).

...Early Childhood...It’s been a great year at CCLS, but I think we’re all a little tuckered out as we near the end of May! However, this week’s Teacher Appreciation lifted us up and encouraged us all so much! We are so grateful for the many ways that you showered our teachers with love and appreciation with special notes, flowers, and so many amazing treats! THANK YOU, PARENTS!! We are beyond blessed to serve your little ones, and we will cherish every moment we have with them in our final three weeks!

...Elementary... The annual Elementary Field Day will be "back to normal" in two weeks, in the morning on Friday, May 20th. Many parent volunteers help to make our Field Day run smoothly. If you are able to help with the field day activities, please send a message to Mrs. Knost at nknost@ccls-stlouis.org. Mrs. Knost sent out an email earlier this week with details.
PE NOTE: Due to some light repairs happening in the gym, elementary PE classes will be on Monday and Wednesday this coming week.
...Middle School...A couple of weeks ago, several middle school students had artwork entered in the Lutheran High South Fine Arts Festival. Many of the students received blue ribbons. Please click this Art Project Link to see the students' creations.
