CORPUS CHRISTI ACADEMY WINS SEASON OPENER

What a way to start the season.  The game between Corpus Christi Academy (CCA) and JT's Pizza started with CCA jumping out to a quick lead of 8 to 2.  CCA was able to maintain a lead most of the way.  JT's Pizza pulled to within three points with only 54 seconds left on the clock.  CCA was able to keep JT's Pizza from scoring, pulling out the win.  It was a hard fought game by both teams.  Everyone did a great job.  Congratulations Crusaders!  Keep up the hard work!

Mr. Zoeller and Mrs. Dougherty will be taking the team out for pizza on Sunday, January 8, at 2pm to celebrate.  Enjoy it.  You deserve it!

Beginners Sewing Class for Corpus Christi Students

Any student, age 7 and above, is invited to join the after school sewing class. The class will start on Thursday, January 12, 2012, from 3:15 to 5:00pm.  If you would like to participate, please turn in your permission slip as soon as possible.  The cost is $5 per class, plus supplies.  Supplies needed for the first session are: seam ripper, 6" seam guide, straight pins, 8" or longer scissors, variety pack of handle needles, 1/2 yard of each of two coordinating cotton or cotton/polyester blend materials (laundered and dried prior to class), coordinating color spool of thread.  The project for the first class is a tote bag in which the students can store their supplies for the class.  

Sewing machines are needed.  If you have a sewing machine that you would be willing to loan to the class, please bring it by the school.  Also, if you could include extra needles and bobbins, that would be great.  This should be an exciting class and something that the children will use for years to come.
