You're invited to campus on Tuesday, May 26, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for a drive-by honoring of Aaron Schubach's leadership and to offer best wishes to his family. More details to follow. While wish we could gather in a large setting for this special occasion, COVID-19 restrictions prevents it for safety reasons. 

The Head of School Transition Team is working to ensure  a strong Head of School transition. The team's  first efforts are to wish Mr. Schubach a fond farewell and offer an enthusiastic welcome to Tambi Tyler. Mr. Schubach concludes his leadership tenure on June 12, 2020, and Ms. Tyler begins as the school's 10th Head of School on July 1, 2020.

Since January, CSS biology students have been planning and conducting biological research experiments of their own design. They began by identifying a topic of interest, brainstorming materials they could easily access, and formulating a question they could reasonably answer through an experiment. From there, students conducted background research, devised a method to test their hypothesis, carried out the experiment, repeated the experiment to make adjustments and increase validity, analyzed the data, and conducted further research in order to better interpret & apply their results. Finally, modeling what happens in academia, they formatted their work into a scientific poster for display at this year's conference. The students are looking forward to sharing their work with each other, their parents, and scientists from the community. Thank you for being a part of it!

While we were looking forward to offering various camps this summer, we have cancelled all summer camps for 2020 as a safety precaution due to COVID-19.

What is a favorite memory at CSS? It is hard to choose one favorite memory! Some of my favorite memories are from seminars and chaperoning Middle School events. My first Game Night, I was racing around with the kids on Boddington Field in the dark and playing capture the flag with glow sticks, and then for the Middle School Overnight, I was playing games at night in the gym and sleeping in the Trianon. I saw then how creating experiences for the students, from simple to elaborate, is what CSS is all about. -Thalley Lindeman, Middle School Math

What is one thing you enjoy about CSS? I love the community. The students, faculty, staff, and parents are all so supportive, and it feels like my family. -Amanda Abrahams, Middle & Upper School French

What did you want to be growing up? I always wanted to be a teacher. I had a little chalkboard in my bedroom growing up and used to teach my stuffed animals every day! -Jolly Cunha, Kindergarten
