Champion Week starts July 6 2010

Welcome back Campers and Families! Hope you all had a wonderful fun filled 4th of July and are glad to see everyone back at Challenge & Champions for the beginning of our Final Week-The Challenger Week! The Campers had a unique opportunity today to go on our "campus immersion", exploring the Emory Campus and sitting in on a real college class. They got to use 'clickers' (electronic devices) to answer questions in a class on human diseases (bacteria and viral types) and how they are transmitted. It was taught by the Senior Vice Provost of the University whose name is Dr. J. Lynn Zimmerman. Dr. Z. is also a biologist. They then participated in a question and answer session on college readiness and high school preparation held by the Admissions Office led by Tim Fields. After that they got a chance to eat in the campus cafeteria, where they got to eat as much as their hearts and stomachs desired! With lunch done they caught the shuttle back to the SAAC.

This afternoon began Field Day activities like Hockey, the 400 yard dash, a 4x100 yard relay and Long Jump. Those were then followed by a giant group game of Ultimate Tag. We practiced for the Friday Graduation at the Celebration of Learning before getting a chance to jump in the pool and cool off from the hot and fun-filled day.

Please remember to RSVP to Ms. Jonetta James in the C&C main office to let her know about how many from your family and friends will be attending the final Celebration of Learning this Friday. You can call her at 404-727-3270 or email her at her email address.

It will be from 1:45 to 4:00 PM. The parking deck will be open at 1:30. Remember, no late pick up this Friday.  We will be closing for the summer at 4:00 PM that day.
