Praise Band Invited To Lead Worship At CCS
The high school praise band was invited to lead worship yesterday at Chattanooga Christian School's middle school and high school chapel services. It was a beautiful time of worship as our band led out with their peers and fellow believers here in the Tennessee Valley. The band's director Mr. Humphries accompanied the group on his hammered dulcimer, and shared a brief message with the CCS student body. What a neat opportunity to join together in worship with another Christian school! You can view all photos from the services here: https://silverdaleba.smugmug.com/Events/20152016/Praise-Band-at-CCS
Join Mrs. Hansard this coming Thursday, March 10th at 8:30am in the Silverdale Room for a casual morning of coffee and conversation as she shares her vision and takes your questions. Come as you are, and of course, the coffee is on us! The Silverdale Room is located on the ground floor of the recent high school addition on the back of our campus, directly off the fireside area.

STOPit Anti-Bullying App Adopted
By now, you should have heard the exciting news that our school has enrolled with STOPit! STOPit is an online reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying and cyber abuse, consisting of an app and a backend incident management system for school administrators. Our 5th - 12th grade students will have access to the STOPit mobile app, which has two simple but powerful features:
Report can be used by students to report incidents to school contacts (anonymously, if the student so chooses) and/or to trusted contacts the student selects.
Get Help can be used to engage in two-way communication with school contacts or to access a 24/7, 365 talk-or-text Crisis Center.
