FALL /WINTER 2015 VOLUME 1

The start of the 2016 academic year included plenty of memories. Some of these were the first day for kindergar-

ten, the eighth graders last first day, and new teachers on campus. The fall brought great weather and the first

quarter has been full of fun activities for all grade levels. New art teacher Mrs. Lambert said, “My first quarter has

been an adventure filled with smiles and discovering the many talents of creative students. I am enjoying display-

ing all their art work on the bulletin boards in the hallways.”

This fall, early education grew so much that a new 4 year old class was created. It is being taught by Mrs. Wil-

liams, who has many years of experience and the students adore her.

The student leadership is in place with the new Student Council officers. Elected for these important positions

were President Josh Thomas, Vice President Noelle Sanders, Secretary Nishita Saravaran, Treasure Lil’E Rickard

and Chaplain Gabriella Quintero. The Student Council went to work right away along with the entire student

body, as they put together great baskets for Thanksgiving for the Hispanic Church. Many missional and motiva-

tional events are planned to keep the excitement and enthusiasm going.

Safety Patrol

By: Nadine Vazquez

Every morning and every afternoon in rain or shine, members of the safety patrol are there to assist students and

enforce safety. Safety Patrol is a privilege for fifth graders only. They assist younger students to their class in the

morning and help get them safely to their cars in the afternoon. They are serving their students and classmates no

matter what the weather is like with smiles. Eden Sand-

ers, Meredith Jolly, Sharon Muktipudi, Jayden Tipeni,

Daniel Getachew, Lily Schumacher, Payton Arnett,

Kayley Forbes, Saanvi Paladugu and Sarah Kota dedi-

cate their mornings and afternoons to fill their roll on the

safety patrol. Meredith Jolly said “My favorite part is

talking and getting to know the younger students when I

walk them to class each morning. I learn a little about

them and they know I care about their safety.” Jayden

Tipeni said “I enjoy bringing a smile to peoples faces

and we get good treats for serving on the safety patrol.”

Lily Schumacher enjoys helping the little ones get to

where they are going safely. Thanks you Safety Patrol.

Twenty students make up this year’s eighth grade graduating class. The class added Carson Trent and David

Jibaja to their tremendous total. The class is blessed to have new homeroom teacher Dana Fladager this

year. They are all determined to make this year their best yet.

Traditions for the school year kicked off with the

painting of the CCS Spirit Rock located by the play-

ground and donuts from Mrs. Barker. Graduation

pictures have been taken and the annual field trip to

Ford’s Theater in DC has taken place. They were

able to see A Christmas Carol.

Eighth Grade Traditions By: Madi Mashaw

Tracey Orwig – Middle School Teacher -English 6, 7, 8/Bible, History, and Public Speaking Skills 6/Health 8) Broad-

cast Club Moderator Catamount Cheer Coach. “I believe I am blessed to work in a Christian school where I can help to shape

the minds and hearts of my students through God's word and Biblical principles. My educational philosophy is focused on

providing a Christ-centered, interesting, and challenging learning environment where my students can feel safe, valued, and

flourish spiritually, academically, and socially. My husband, Rick, and I have been married for twenty years and we have three

beautiful daughters. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling to new places, and visiting with family and friends.”

Mary Zupan– Lead Teacher of Four Year Olds My class is called The Busy Bees and, being four year olds, they are very busy! I feel my job as an educator is to create an

atmosphere where a love for learning about God and this wonderful world He created can be developed in a positive and en-

couraging way. If I can make our classroom a place where students eagerly anticipate each day, then I have succeeded. We

work on early literacy skills, fine motor skills, self-reliance skills, social studies, art, and simple math concepts. Most im-

portantly, we strive to apply Biblical truths into their everyday lives. This year has offered me the challenge to be part of the

STEAM Lab for EE. It has allowed to me stretch my creativeness in a new direction and has sparked my interest in science.

My husband and I are blessed to have our 4 children (and 2 granddaughters) live close to us so that we can still enjoy Sunday

family dinners together.

Cathleen Bramblett- Johnson– Fourth Grade Teacher and Fifth Grade History Teacher History is my favorite subject! I have had a busy summer and beginning of the school year with caring for my husband recov-

ering from heart surgery in August. He is doing very well and returned back to work in October. Also, my oldest son, Gra-

ham, recovering from viral meningitis and encephalitis, starts to school full-time on Monday, Dec. 7th. We are praying that his

short-term memory returns soon. My youngest, Marc, is completing his final year here at CCS, since being here since he was

9 weeks old! I love going for walks with my baby, Mac, especially in the early morning, just as the sun is coming up. I enjoy

reading books, when I have time, riding bicycles, singing, and spending time with family and friends. I am truly blessed to be

here at CCS and I love my co-workers.

Middle School Retreat By: Makenna Myers

Every year seventh and eighth graders take a two day trip to get acquainted. This year they traveled to Northbay Adventure Camp in

North East, Maryland. The camp had many activities to keep the students busy and demonstrate teamwork and build friendships.

Kayaking, rock climbing, zip lining, swinging on a giant swing and free play in the gym were just to name a few.. After all the day-

time events students gathered around a bonfire to watch a beautiful

sun set, eat s'mores and listen to Mr. Kincaid deliver a spiritual mes-

sage that would help students have a great year. High and low ropes

course was the final challenging team building activity of the re-

treat. The retreat gets students out of their day to day schedule and

puts them in an environment were they can thrive and be them-

selves. Students caught up on what happened over the summer,

challenged their chaperones to a game of basketball and got to know

each other better. Mrs. Gay Huffman said “The location was not

only beautiful but most appropriate for a middle school retreat. We

had approximately 34 students, at least six parents and several facul-

ty members. The team building exercises were superb because it

made the students think about how to count on each other to get the

task done. The free time, that included the zip wire, the giant swing, a swimming pool, a rock wall indoor and outdoor, gymnasium

time, an ice cream refreshment center and/or a walk on the beach, was phenomenal! In

addition, there was another Christian school there that had approximately 40 middle

school students and this allowed our students to partner with

other students from other walks of life on many of the free time

activities.” Katarina Loran an eighth grader said “Kayaking was

my favorite part because we got to be in control and work to-

gether to paddle where we wanted to go.” Seventh grader

Camila Torrejon said “Being on the beach for the bon fire was so

much fun and relaxing. We told very funny stories and enjoyed

the experience with all of our classmates. I am looking forward

to going again next year as this is definitely a highlight of the

school year.”

Dinner on the Lawn

The annual tradition of Dinner on the Lawn brought out a large crowd on a beautiful September afternoon. The

president of the PTF Angela Etter said “This is such a great time for students and parents to get to know the fac-

ulty and new families at CCS. We had good participation and even had alumni come back to see everyone.”

Bubble soccer was new this year and was a favorite for the middle school students. Moon bounces, face paint-

ing, balloon twisters, snow cones, cotton candy and ice cream were among the favorite activities of the younger

students. Families ate pizza and Chick fil-a as they visited with familiar faces and made new friends. The PTF

plans several spirit nights through out the year to keep families and faculty connected.

National Junior Honor Society

New Inductees Grace Liam, Mackenzie Hansma, Madi Mashaw and Dominic Magilone. “This is a great opportunity and I

am happy to be apart of NJHS.” said Dominic. Pink Day in October was a success as many students and staff wore

pink for Breast Cancer awareness. Ezra Sailer, NJHS President said “ We decided to

sell pink bracelets and sell baked goods at Veteran's

Day Chapel to raise money to donated to Smashing Wal-

nuts, a foundation in Loudoun County to assist in crack-

ing the cure for childhood cancer. The NJHS students

plan to be more active this year under the direction of

Dana Fladager. Look of the Toys for Tots boxes on

campus to donate for a new toy during the holidays.

Chapels

By Thomas Baslios

This quarter third, fourth and seventh

grade classes led chapel. Third grade

had a part in International Day chapel

by leading a song with flags from

many different countries. Fourth

grade did a chapel about respect for

authority with skits and songs. Sev-

enth grade did a chapel about why we

were created. They led a skit about

creation and had a game show and

then had group work.

Other special Chapels this fall includ-

ed See you at the Poll in September,

International Day chapel in October

and Veteran’s Day in November. To

First quarter awards chapel recognized

students for their for the first quarter

and Character First awards were giv-

en. The worship team led music under

the direction of Gay Huffman.

Early Education had special chapels

for country day with special guest

from Loudoun County Sheriff Depart-

ment. “It was fun to participate and

play the part the part of eve in the sev-

enth grade skit”

CCS’ Mission Theme this year is “Declare, Go, And Serve.” The students throughout

this year will hear inspiring challenges to be involved in missions and will have opportu-

nities presented to them to do just that.

The Annual International Day was on Wednesday, October 14th and every class chose a

country and transformed their classroom to an educational place to visit. Countries that

were represented were India, Italy, Israel by Kindergarten, Mexico by first grade, Ghana

by second grade, Germany by third grade, Guatemala by fourth grade, Haiti by fifth

grade, Nicaragua, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Honduras by sixth grade, Ghana by

seventh grade and China by eighth grade. Students were given information about the

various people groups around the world that they can pray for and the importance of

taking the Gospel to them in a timely way. The times and events in which our students

are living can be fearful yet through this emphasis on the Gospel they can be reminded

to put their faith in the person and power of Jesus.

To add to this marvelous mission day, a special assembly was led by the sixth

grade. They were exited to prepare their presentation and concentrated on finding His-

panic Missioners. They were able to find and present interesting stories about missioners

who actively work in South America and Central America. One thing they learned

through this was that to become a missioner is not an easy task, there is a lot of sacrifices

that need to be done while following the missionary path, but these sacrifices can be

made if the main motivation is their love for God and people. Mother Teresa said, “It is

not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.”

Psalms 96:3 says “Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all

the peoples!. We want our student to be told about Jesus, have their lives touched by

Him, and then go tell someone else about Him. We want them to then repeat this pro-

cess until Jesus comes again. The good news of Jesus is gives us something to Declare,

something to Go with, and something to serve for.

What was your favorite part about International Day?

“When we did the flag ceremony.” -Campbell Coleman (3)

“Nicaragua because my dad was born there

and I liked that sixth grade represented that

country.” -Caleb Villatoro (4)

“I enjoyed learning about the geography.” -

Cross Country You See Stride.

Athletics You See Excitement.

Fall sports are completed and winter sports are in full swing under Athletic Director

Ken Kincaid. Both girls and boys basketball teams have started practices to prepare

for a busy season of games for the next three months. Returning coaches Adam

Staats and Vicky Mashaw will coach the basketball teams for the fourth year in a

row. New for winter sports is the gold girls basketball team lead coached by Dante

Bertrand and cheerleading that is being lead by Tracy Orwig and Cindy Carroll.

Please visit www.ccsathletics.org for the complete listing of games, times and direc-

tions to upcoming games. Check out County Christian School facebook page and

www.countychristianschool.org for practice schedules each week.

This years cross country team did an amazing job with the girls team finishing second and the boys fin-

ishing third. They fielded the most runners this year in the history of cross country at CCS, with a team

of seventeen. The runners raced in six meets, completing distances ranging from 3k - 5k. Eden Sanders

finished sixth in the conference and Hannah Peek finished ninth. Noelle Sanders finished fourteenth and

Mia Blank had a sixteenth place finish. Coach Christine Akagi said “This year we focused on self-

discipline and appreciating the results of hard work in accordance with 1 Corinthians 9:24-25.” In a very

competitive boys division led by Ryan Mallo and Noah Akagi who finished twelfth and thirteenth and

Ezra Sailer had a sixteenth place finish.

Ryan Mallo an eighth grader said “ It

takes a lot of dedication and practice in

order to succeed.” Members of the cross

country team include Noah Akagi, Payton

Arnett, Dominik Blank, Kailey Elliott,

Abi Lau, Ryan Mallo, Nathanael Martin,

Saanvi Paladuau, Hannah Peek, Joshua

Peek, Noelle Sanders, Nadine, Vazquez,

Annabelle Zwart, Eden Sanders, Ezra

Sailer, and Marc Bramblett.

The Lady Catamount volleyball team had a great season and finished third in the league and second in the NVIAC tournament.

For the first time in over eight years the Lady Catamount volleyball team played in the semi-finals and winning to make it to the

championship game. Leading the team on the court as captains were two eighth graders, Madi Mashaw and

Lil’E Rickard. Both were selected as All Tournament players and were great examples for the other players.

They were recognized at the last home league game. Coach Vicky Mashaw said “It was a great season with

many accomplishments, that ended with a great oppor-

tunity. The girls really came together in the last few

weeks of the season and proved that they had went from

good to great.” The Lady Catamounts beat every team

in the league and completed this by beating an undefeat-

ed team. Finishing the season with eleven wins out of

seventeen games the Lady Catamounts accomplished a

winning season with their hard work. Coach Sarah

Mozeyko was new to the coaching staff but brought intensity and strategy

to team. Erin Brown came in the last few weeks to bring some reinforce-

ment to fundamentals and a spark of new energy to the bench. The teams

motto “hustle, hit and never quit” stuck with each player on the team till

the last point of the season was scored. Three fifth graders Lily Schumach-

er, Meredith Jolly and Eden Sanders were all first time players. Two sixth

graders Anjolie Brown and Storm Thompson joined five seventh graders

Makenna Myers, Tami Famewo, Camilla Torrejon, Mackenzie Hansma,

and home schooler Faith Bramblett.

Field Trips By Madi Mashaw

Learning outside the classroom is definitely a highlight for both students and teachers. The fall weather was perfect for student to

venture off campus for field trips. “On October 23rd, the 2nd Grade class was able to visit the home of George Washington, at

Mount Vernon. We had studied Colonial Life in our Social Studies and then were able to see first-hand, the challenges faced by our

forefathers, as well as the crafts of 18th-century America. We had a fun visit, learned so many things, and were blessed by beautiful

weather! “said Tami Werner. Second grade’s next field trip will be in February and they will go to the Lisner Theatre in DC to see a

play and then go to the American Indian Museum there as well.

First Grade went to Reston Zoo where they saw mammals and birds. Mrs. Wurtzel said “the students loved being around all the ani-

mals and learning how they live. It was a great field trip and see the Emus was also fun.”

Third grade’s field trip to Jamestown brought history to life as students participated in a hands-on program called “Life at Jame-

stown” This program included a tour of the settlement as well as cooking corn cakes on an open hearth and participation in a mili-

tary drill. A Powhatan Village tour gave the students a glimpse of the American Indian life style.

Kindergarten and Early Education classes went to Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA. Kindergarten teacher Cindy Carroll said

“We have been working on learning all of the letter sounds. We have been in the old testament of the Bible. We talked about Crea-

tion, Noah, Adam and Eve, Abraham, Joseph, and now we are talking about Moses. We have been counting to 100 in Math. We just

learned how to count by 10's. We also introduced the dime and the penny. We have learned about our community helpers in social

Studies and now we are focusing on the USA. This was our first field trip and students love learning even more outside.”

Steam Night on November 19th was an extremely fun night as students and staff

came together to explore Science. Meredith Jolly said "I thought steam night was

really fun and my favorite part was all the experiments” Matthew Rafert said “I

thought steam night was great. My favorite part was the marshmallow catapult”

Lily Schumacher said “I really liked steam night and it was really fun. My favorite

part was the microbe spreading”

The fifth grade students participate in STEAM for forty-

five minutes every week where they get to do a wide variety of hands-on activities and labs that strength-

en and reinforce the classroom instruction, among other things. In all of these subjects, and the rest, the

students will continue to have the chance to participate in a variety of learning opportunities throughout

the rest of the school year. Fifth grade teacher Debbie Daniel said “The 5th grade students work hard,

not only are they expected to have a solid foundation of reading, writing, and math skills, but also they

are encouraged to think critically in every subject area!” In science, the students have studied cells and

had the opportunity to make a cell model in any medium of their choosing. Cell model media submitted

included Jello, cake (which they then got to eat), Legos and excellent Styrofoam ball and candy replicas.

A measurement Olympics was held for the students where they got to do exciting activities such as paper

plate discus, straw shooter javelin, hot air powered foil boat races and long jumping to name a few. Unexpected learning activi-

ties are still to come, just around the corner, making 5th grade an incredibly positive academic year!

This year Hispanic Heritage Day was celebrated by reviewing in class a little bit of the history of this cele-

bration. Middle School Students prepared bulletin boards with information about specific Hispanic people

that had made a difference with their special gifts and talents in United States. We had also invited to our

school a group of Mexican dancers “Los Quetzales”. They delighted our students and teachers with their

traditional dance and costumes, they invited some of our students to stage and taught them the steps of the

famous dance “Jarabe Tapatio”. We all had lots of fun! At the same time with this activity 8th grade Stu-

dents were able to raise funds for the Orphans of Nicaragua, which has closed our celebrations with our

minds and hearts on our Hispanic Neighbors.

Early Education You See Celebration.

This year's Country Fair Day in October had Early Education students enjoy life on the farm through a variety of fun and interactive

experiences; They 'milked' a cow, dug for potatoes, fed chickens, drove a tractor, made butter, ate dirty apples, and launched pump-

kins into buckets. This and much more fun was had and they even helped the sheriff , Deputy Jones from the Loudoun County Sher-

iff's Department to find a missing pig!! All in all it was rootin' tootin' good time, ya'll!” said Mary Zupan.

Mrs. Mc Clary class, the Caring Bears shared what they were most thankful for this year during the month of November. “I heard

things like food, dinner, brother, sister, Christmas and Baby Jesus, God and my family” said teacher Mrs. Mc Clary. The children

had lots of fun learning about how the Pilgrims and the Indians worked together and then had a big feast.

In December, The birthday of our Lord Jesus is the theme. As students learn about the activities and traditions that other countries

have for Christmas time, we are excited about the Christmas program called "Jesus: The Best Present". The students did a fabulous

job singing and performing on stage. It was lovingly written by Ms. McClary and Mrs. Zupan. “We are very happy to have this new

program” said Mrs. McCutchan. The program included special appearances from Mrs. Barker and Mr. Kincaid. In the Early Educa-

tion STEAM Lab, students are studying the cycles of the moon, the shape of some of the constellations, building with star blocks,

and making moon mud, as they learn about the "Sun, Moon and Stars."

Christmas Concerts You See Talent.

Angels! Shepherds! Wise-men! Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus! All were there at the annual Christmas Concert on Wednesday morn-

ing, December 16th, 2015. The kindergarten classes of Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Garrett and Miss Karch,

together with the first grade class of Mrs. Wurtzel, and the second grade class of Mrs. Werner pre-

sented The Gospel Christmas Story. They sang Christmas songs in the gospel style and retold the

story of Jesus’ birth from the scripture. Some children played tambourines, finger cymbals, trian-

gles, guiros and maracas to accompany our singers. Other students blessed the audience with their

solo voices, singing for God’s glory. The lower elementary classes truly blessed Jesus for His

birthday with their enthusiasm and joy.

The Christmas program for third through 8th grade was presented on Thursday evening, December

17th, 2015. It began as the three school bands – 5th, 6/7th and 8th presented a selection of Christ-

mas carols, ending with Jingle Bells played by all three. Then, our two middle school choirs sang a

selection of contemporary Christmas songs. The 6th and 7th grade choir accompanied one of the

selections with their ukuleles. To end the program, the 3rd – 5th grade students from Mrs. Yed-

nock’s, Mrs. Bramblett-Johnson’s, and Mrs. Daniel’s classes presented Sing With Us the Christmas Story. The carols were tradition-

al, and the script was directly from the Gospels. Wise-men, Roman soldiers, angels, shepherds, and Mary and Joseph with the Baby

Jesus, were all involved in telling the story of God’s love for mankind when He sent His Son, Jesus, to come as a babe that long-ago

Christmas night. –Suzanne King

PTF You See Energy.

Principal’s Perspective You See Excellence.

“Unto you is born….a Savior, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11)

Each Christmas season gives occasion to emphasize anew the wonderful story of the love of God that led Him to send His only

begotten Son into the world. The scripture verse in the Bible (Luke 2:11), was part of the announcement of the angel of the Lord

to the shepherds. It is also God’s Word to every person born into this world since that time. As you go about the next year, think

of these words as God’s personal word to you. “Unto YOU is born a Savior, which is Christ the Lord”. God gave YOU a gift.

The angel brought us news we can use. It's the best news in the world:

God loves you!

God is with you!

God is for you!

Christmas is a time to celebrate that God loves you! The message from our students and the de-

lightful musicals they performed these past few weeks is clear… celebrate at Christmas! No mat-

ter what may be happening, we can know that we are His children. We then become sons and

daughters of God. Heaven will be our home one day. Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! Re-

joice!

Many blessings to you for the new year.

The Parent Teacher Fellowship is at it again. “What?” you may ask. They are bringing our families and faculty together for

another Successful School Year. They are continually looking for ways for CCS to have a spirit of service. They want this

campus to be Christ Centered in every attitude and action. They make it a priority to work with Mrs. Barker to make sure that

our teachers are appreciated and our parents are heard.

Under the PTF’s leadership, the Angel Shop had another great year. Students had the opportunity

to purchase Christmas gifts for their family and friends. This is a fun time for the younger stu-

dents to shop on their own for gifts to give. The Catamount Café fills up with excited kids, tre-

mendous volunteers and tables filled with a variety of items. This project would not happen with-

out the help of our parents and grandparents. The PTF sends a big thank you out to them.

To keep with the goal of being a generous and giving student

body, all the proceeds went to the Christian Fellowship Church

benevolence fund. This time of year, Pastor Fred Clark comes into

contact with some major ministry needs of people and this helps

make a difference.

The PTF encourages and reminds us to please bring in all of our

Campbell’s Soup labels and box tops to the homeroom teacher.

The school earns 10 cents per label and the class that turns in the

most is treated to an ice cream social in December and April.
