Many scholarship award winners were announced by Mr. Champagne. Special music was provided by the senior chorus, Miss Peryea, Miss Calnon, Mr. Breault and Mrs. Trombley.

6/17/05 - Mr. Breault leads the audience in congratulating the graduating class of 2005 (kindergarten that is). This year's theme was "Tell Us a Story" and featured a number of famous children's stories with a twist. There were many great songs and dances. It was also standing room only as many parents, grandparents and friends were in attendance. I juggled 3 cameras to decide which one I like. That means you have over 200 pictures to look at. Group 1 - Group 2 - Group 3
	6/14/05 - Many students and staff gathered in Mrs. Gardiner's room for a goodbye party for Tomohiro Kono, our foreign exchange student who will be leaving in a few days. He will be missed. From his soccer days, to his time on the basketball court to his participation in chorus and much, much more, Tomo really became a part of the CCS family over the past school year. As can be seen from the photos, many stopped by to wish him well. He was presented with a class picture from Ms. Pickering and a special sword case from Mr. Walley. Take Care Tomo!

Mock Crash	Student Teacher
5/12/05 - It was only a drill but it looked real and it could happen. Once again this year students at CCS witnessed a mock crash in anticipation of prom weekend. There were a number of student "victims" including a fatality. All who saw the event unfold were affected, especially when the "parents" were notified. Students were given a chance to sign a pre-prom pledge with members of the Chateaugay chapter of SADD. We would like to thank the Chateaugay Fire Department, the state police and all the actors. There are many pictures and some are quite graphic, but that is the point. There are also many pictures showing off the talented men and women who respond to our needs in these times. We wish everyone a safe and happy time this weekend. Last year's crash photos	5/11/05 - Miss Gadway, a student teacher who worked with Mrs. Johnston in her math class recently brought in her own digital camera to catch some of the action in her 9th period class.

We wish her and all the student teachers we have had recently, the best of luck as they graduate in the coming weeks and begin looking for work.
Trip to France	Cape Cod
4/26/05 - (from Mrs. Swanston) - Oooh la la! What a time was had in Paris! From the moment we arrived at Charles de Gaulle to the sad departure home. Oh, yeah, we saw it all. We learned the important historical facts at Versailles, viewing La Jaconde, better known as the Mona Lisa, and the Coronation at the Louvre, and learning that Napoleon I took the crown out of the Pontiff’s hands to do it himself, to the trivial items such as "pooper scoopers" problems due to their love of dogs. I would like to thank the parents for lending me their most prized possessions. I am grateful that I got to know them and I am a better person for having traveled with them. PICTURES - please note I posted these pictures a bit larger that normal because they are so good. Thanks for the images of an obviously exciting trip!	5/2/05 - Over the weekend a number of CCS students went to Cape Cod. The environmental club A.L.I.V.E. was on the prowl for whales and they were rewarded by spotting Right Whales, an endangered species. Many other whales and dolphins were spotted as well. The trip to Cape Cod was memorable this year as the "Blue Whale" (the Suburban) died on the way down. It was felt that the "Yankees" may not have been treated very well in Red Sox territory as they tried to get the vehicle running again. The students and chaperones did their best to persevere despite the locked car (which is never locked), the return trip for medical supplies and late dinners. See one of the weary travelers for more information. As for the rest of the pictures (courtesy of Mrs. Allen), CLICK HERE.

Along with the band were a number of soloists, some dance routines and a number of really corny jokes doled out by Tony Lamica who acted as emcee. A special panel of 5 judges was convened to select a winner and Kayla Ignaczak was chosen. "Green Enema" tied for second place with a group that performed a dance routine from "Napolean Dynamite" Congrats to all involved. Great Job! More Pictures.	3/20/05 - Kayla Ignaczak and Nate Johnston faced off last weekend in 3 successful performances of "Annie Get Your Gun".

All involved are to be congratulated for a wonderful weekend of laughs, great singing and fun. On to the pictures....

Winter Ball Dance Pictures Door Decorating Contest Pictures PointerCounts Concert Pictures	12/15/04 - Students in Mrs. Gardiner's class were spotted making ginger bread houses recently.
