An earlier post today through our social media channels erroneously shared information for girls' basketball. Please accept our deepest apologies for any confusion this may have caused. Our girls' basketball program is co-oped with Chester East Lincoln, and not CCS.Thank you to those who brought concerns and questions to our attention. As information becomes available from CEL about that program, we will share that information with you through our communication channels.

The address for the baseball game tomorrow is Schlitt Park, 2415 Sharon Dr, Springfield, IL 62704. It is a turf field so no metal cleats, sunflower seeds, or gum.
Also, baseball pictures have been moved to September 6th at 3:30. We don’t typically practice on Friday, but with the Logan County Tournament being the next day, Coach Fuiten wants the boys to hit in the batting cages until after pictures until 5:00.
Kindergarten has been discussing rules, laws and those in authority in Social Studies. During today's discussion, we learned about the order of authority at school: principal, teacher, student. Some students weren't sure who the principal was so Mrs. Shaver was kind enough to take a minute with the class.
Reminder to parents: Today Wednesday 8/28 is a 1:30 dismissal!
Baseball practice on Wednesday will be from 4-5 at the LCHS batting cages where there are more shaded areas. Boys can wear shorts.
