Calendar and Events
| Harvest Festival and Young Alumni Gathering |
| The Harvest Festival in October is the first celebration of the school year. Occurring on a crisp weekend in the fall, this event is a time when parents turn the School into a fun, fair-like atmosphere for the children featuring games, wares, and delectable fare. Lower School children enjoy the activities while many of the older students sell handcrafted items, host booths, and cook. Each year during the Harvest Festival, high school-aged alumni and their parents are invited to visit with the principal, teachers, staff members, and friends; eat pizza; and enjoy the festival! |
| Spring Benefit Auction |
| The marquee C&C event is the annual Spring Benefit Auction. Led by parent Co-Chairs, it is the one and only celebration for the adults in the community, therefore becoming the most popular event on the calendar. It is a fun-filled night out for parents and alumni, integrating elements of entertainment, great eats, and extraordinary auction items. It’s a time to catch up with friends and celebrate C&C alongside our teachers and staff members. Best of all, the Benefit supports financial aid. |
| Spring Fair |
| The Spring Fair takes place in May, when the air begins to thaw and the children begin to leave their coats in the rooms as they take to the Yards. The Fair also features an amazing line-up of food, games, dance, music, and the famous cake decorating contest! The eighth graders get involved in the planning process to celebrate their final Spring Fair. |
