Hey everyone. It’s Sasha and guess what I’m doing? I am working on a descriptive paragraph. Just kidding The fifth-graders are working on descriptive paragraphs. I drew a clown on an elephant. Just kidding! The fifth-graders drew that picture as a paragraph prompt. They also prayed the Stations of the Cross in their classrooms. They are using the Promethean Board to show pictures of the stations.

The CKCS chess team traveled to UMS-Wright recently to compete in the fourth round of the Mobile Baldwin County Scholastic Chess League. All three teams were victorious! The A and C teams defeated teams from Alma Bryant High School and the B team won over a team from Spanish Fort Elementary. Competing for CKCS were Allen Davis, Matthew Davis, Ben Hodde, Matthew Mead, Daniel Volovecky, Liam Treutel, Ross Paris-Harbison, Marissa Cazalas, Kate Risk and Garner Graves. Our next match is March 20 at Foley High School.

We would like to congratulate the CKCS Scholar’s Bowl team for their first place win at the McGill-Toolen Scholastic Tournament on Feb. 23. Members of the team include Walsh Millette, captain; Denman Mims, Ashley Kinsey, Liam Treutel and Allen Davis. These students did an outstanding job competing for our school. Walsh was also awarded an MVP medal as the team’s high scorer. This is CKCS’s third straight year winning this tournament. Great job, team!

We are so proud of our principal, Sister Maureen Nolan, who was named the Alabama Administrator of the Year by the Baldwin County Reading Council. The state of Alabama Reading Association also named Sister Maureen as the Outstanding Administrator in Reading. Congratulations, Sister Maureen.

Well, that’s all for now. See you later, alligator!
