Prom Gowns at Co-op?

Written by Songbird

You aren't seeing things. There really are girls wearing prom dresses to class today. This is Mrs. Park and Mrs. Ehrman's way of reminding you to buy your spring dance tickets today! The Spring dance will be held on April 13^th from 7:00pm – 10:00pm at Fairfield Christian Church. The theme is “A Night to Remember.” You need to be sure to buy your tickets soon because no tickets will be sold at the dance this year! Tickets cost $20.00 a piece. The Spring dance is always a fun time to socialize and hang out with friends as a close to this semester. Everyone always has a great time and it really will be a Night to Remember!

CiCi's Pizza

Written by Songbird

Our tradition for the past several years has been to go to CiCi's Pizza directly following showcase for food, fun, and socialization. Thanks to Cheryl Paul that tradition will continue. CiCi's Pizza in Pickerington has agreed to stay open late for us to all come and eat after showcase. This is not a Co-op run event so everyone need to be responsible for there own kids during this time.

Mr. Peaches Needs A Home

Written by Momiter

Is there anyone who would like to adopt a cat? Last week a very attractive, short haired, orange and white cat appeared in my yard. He appears to be a young adult. He is very friendly. We can't find his owners, so we are trying to find a loving home for him before we start calling animal shelters. We already have 4 cats and are maxed out on our capacity for felines! He clearly has not been a stray. He looks bright eyed and healthy. He wants in my house badly. Is anyone willing to be his family, or do you know of anyone who might like to have him? We have his picture if you would like to see how handsome he is. (We have temporarily named him Mr. Peaches.)

Senior Reminder

Written by Songbird

It's time for the seniors to begin looking through pictures for their senior page in the yearbook. The yearbook staff would like to receive one senior picture and three to four candid pictures to include in the yearbook. They would rather have digital copies of the pictures. Also, each student needs to write a small biography which may include a favorite scripture or quote. Finally, this year the yearbook staff is requesting that all of the seniors would sign their name on a blank piece of printer paper because their signatures will be included on their senior pages this year as well. This information can be turned in no later then the last day of Co-op which is April 3^rd. Your senior pictures are due by graduation at the latest. If you have any questions on this you can contact the yearbook coordinater.

Spirit Wear

Written by Songbird

Our Cornerstone spirit wear has arrived! If you did not pick up yours at Co-op last week be sure to pick them up today at the snack table. If you have not yet paid the shirts may be held until you do so. Be sure to pay for and pick up your Co-op shirts soon!

Reminder

Written by @ l ; n @

The weather's been very nice, and spring is approaching very quickly. As it gets warmer out, it's nice to eat outside, however if you're going to go to the shelter, you need to have an adult with you. Parents please also be willing to accompany students who would like to be outside.

Showcase Workers

Written by Momiter

Spring Showcase is almost upon us! That means I will be recruiting workers for set up and tear down. Set up will begin at 2:00 on April 3. I am hoping to have it done by 3:30--or possibly earlier. (Last Showcase a motivated crew of 13 people completely finished setting up in 1 hour!) We will especially need guys able to handle moving stacks of chairs with the dolly. We will also need families and individuals who will commit to stay and tear down. With a large, enthusiastic crew both of these jobs can be done quickly, but without enough help, it can take hours. So, let me hear from you. I will have a sign up list at co-op.

Beautiful Outside!

Hey Everyone!
I hope that you all had a great day back to Co-op yesterday. I know I did! : ) Can you believe all this CRAZY warm weather that we are having. It's so beautiful outside! I hope that you all had a good week last week. And I hope you had a good two week break and got alot accomplished during it. It's crazy to think that showcase is going to be in only three weeks now! We are already through week nine of twelve....we only have three weeks of co-op remaining and then it's over until the autumn. It's so crazy to think that this year of Co-op is almost finished...I don't know about you but it has seemed to go sooo quickly for me! It's crazy how quickly time has passed. I guess the saying really is true time flies when you are having fun! : ) This has been a great semester but it is beginning to come to a close. Showcase will be here before you know it so make sure you are finishing up your projects and working hard on you performances for showcase. I hope that you all have a great week and I can't wait to see you all next week!

Spring Celtic Ball
Written by Songbird
This past Saturday March 10th was the Celtic Ball. As usual it was an incredible and fun event. Many people attended the dance this Saturday as well as quite a few of our own Cornerstone Co-op students. The dance went very well as expected. Many people, including myself, look forwards to this ball and it is always a fun dance where you get to meet and dance with friends and make new friends though an amazing night of Scottish dance and socialization. The practices before the dance ran smoothly as all the attenders practiced and learned the dances in the morning so that everything would run smoothly that evening. The practice is a great time to meet everyone, in a comfortable setting, who you will be dancing with later on. Then people left and got ready for the dance that evening. Ladies and gentlemen dressed to impress in ballgowns and suits and some people even wore kilts! Everyone walked in during the grand march and then the dance began. Before you knew it everyone was twirling around the ball room laughing and having an excellent time. The dance continued throughout the night and over all everyone had an amazing time. I hope that everyone who went to the ball had a wonderful night and I hope to see you all next year.

Spirit Wear

Tomorrow!

Hey Everyone!
Wow I cannot believe that our two week break has passed already! It's kind of crazy actually how quickly this semester is going...we only have 4 weeks left! Anyways, I hope you had a great and productive break and hopefully you got everything done that you needed to for Co-op tomorrow. Since we have been on break for a little while remember to arrive to co-op on time so that you can be on time to your classes. I know we have not been in the pattern of having co-op for two weeks so remember to follow the rules and you can look over the Co-op handbook if you need a refresher. Remember to be practicing your pieces and finishing and working on your projects and assignments for showcase because it will be here before you know it!! I hope that you all had a great break but now it's time to get back into the swing of things preparing for showcase. I hope that you have a good day today.
See you all tomorrow!

Warm Wonderful Weather! : )

Hey Everyone!
I'm sorry that we didn't have Co-op yesterday but I hope that you all had a great day off regardless. : ) The weather has been sooo warm outside the past few days hopefully you have been able to get out and enjoy it some because it's wonderful. I hope that you had a chance to be outside some and enjoy the warm breeze it's practically like Spring already! : ) Well hopefully you got all of your homework done last week so you just have this week to sit back....relax and practice for showcase or work on any last pieces you have been procrastinating on. For those of you who can vote I hope that you really prayed about who to select as the Republican candidate and selected the person who God told you would be the best man for the job. Showcase is literally right around the corner guys so I hope you are busy getting ready! : ) Enjoy this week and the warm wonderful weather everyone! :)

No Co-op!

Hey Everyone!
I hope that you all had a great week! This is just a reminder to you all that there is NO co-op tomorrow. Co-op is cancelled due to the church being used at a poll for voting for the election. Because of that we do not have co-op tomorrow and we have another week until Co-op resumes. Be sure to use your extra week wisely. This extra week would be a good time to get homework done you have been putting off, projects finished which need completed and getting in some of that practice done that you have been procrastinating about for showcase. I hope that you all had an amazing week and I can't wait to see you all not tomorrow but NEXT tuesday! Have a good day!
