So, what do we use the CCS Endowment Fund for? This past school year we funded three projects that were proposed by staff members.

Pictured here is a massive cereal donation project that the Elementary School took on during Reading Month in March! You may remember a similar project they did back in 2022. This year, the students wanted to try it again and beat their record . . . which they did! Students donated 1,115 boxes of cereal to a local food pantry for people in need. Amazing job, Comets! #LEADLikeAComet

So, what do we use the CCS Endowment Fund for? This past school year we funded three projects that were proposed by staff members. Project #1 updated the Elementary Sensory Room! Our Sensory Room Paraprofessional worked with occupational therapists, administration, and staff to determine how to best support additional sensory, emotional, and self-regulatory needs of our students. Pictured here are just a few of the upgrades to the space! These resources allow students to learn regulation skills and replacement behaviors that they can take with them throughout life.
