Dear CC!
We have been so fired up about CC! Week. We decorated our campus with posters, banners, and balloons. Classroom teachers taught stellar lessons, and the cafeteria even served food to match the Six Pillar colors! We want to keep our students motivated about CC! all year round. Does it make sense to leave the posters and banners up throughout the campus or should we condense the decorations to one location? That is my first question. Secondly, we need ideas on how to keep the “celebration” going throughout the school year.
