Student Early Dismissal and Staff Professional Development

Great Remembrance for our colleague Andre Evans

This past Wednesday, we held a remembrance honoring Mr. Andre Evans, who left us suddenly on December 21st.

Tributes from his colleagues and his students were amazing, and full of emotions. Tears were shed which certainly indicated how much love he shared with all that knew him. His legacy as a World traveler, a compassionate and simply a joyful human being are undeniable!

Despite this sad circumstance, we were fortunate to have Hannah Klapprodt, Kelli Wick, Joseph Van Deren and Ms. Rachel Willen cover some of Mr. Evans' classes. In this regard, we also sincerely thank all the Upper School Science Department for their help and assistance as we dealt with this loss.

Security Consultant Visit

As announced before, Mr. Chris Roose will be at CAS next week to audit our security systems, train, explain and discuss security measures and risk management to our staff and other key CAS partners. We are organizing a session for parents on Thursday, January 16th at 8:00 am and would appreciate if you can join us in the Moroccan Salon.

Another Victory !

Varsity AAC Boys vs Varsity CAS Boys

JV AAC Boys vs JV CAS Boys

Thursday afternoon the JV and Varsity Boys and Varsity Girls Basketball teams battled AAC in three matches in the Randy Dome. An enthusiastic home crowd led by Mr. Randolph himself cheered and chanted the Cobras to victories in two contests. The JV boys benefited from a stifling defense and aggression near the basket to overpower AAC for a 21-8 victory. The varsity girls, despite playing with a limited number of students, never gave up and nearly completed a comeback. We can anticipate improvement from them all season. To finish the night, our varsity Cobra boys defeated AAC 23-18. Tenacious defense, controlled passing, and a balanced scoring attack helped the Cobras move their record on the season to 2-0. I would like to thank our coaches for all the extra time and effort they have put into coaching our basketball teams this year. The season continues for both JV and varsity boys next Thursday against GWA.
