CCC AGENDA / ACTIVITES / FAQs
Q. What time is the CCC?
A. 9 AM to 9 PM - Students should arrive by 8:45 (no earlier than 8:30 please).
Q. Where is the CCC?
West Middle School (enter through the doors by the BIG GYM).
Q. May I just drop my student off outside or do I need to come in to drop them off?
A. You may just drop them off. You are also more than welcome to come in and stay for a while.
Q. Are students supposed to stay ALL day?
A. Yes! :-)
Q. What if my student can attend for part of the day, but not the whole day?
A. Students should attend as much of the day as possible. Activities will not be the same all day long. The day is designed to begin with activities that build on each other. If students arrive late or leave early they will not receive the full benefit of the day, but some time at the CCC is better than nothing.
Q. What should students wear?
A. All students will be receiving new choir t-shirts before the CCC. All students & volunteers MUST be wearing this choir t-shirt. If additional shirts are being worn, the choir t-shirt must be on top of those. Athletic shoes and shorts or pants for physical activities in the gym should be worn.
Q. What & When is lunch?
A. Pizza (Pepperoni and some just cheese, some gluten free, and some cheese bread for those who can't have tomato...two pieces per person), salad bar, chips, fruit snacks, pop, and water will be served for lunch from 12:00-1:00
Q. What & When is dinner & dessert?
A. Qdoba will be served for dinner from 5:00-7:30. We will also have an Ice Cream Sundae Bar for dessert with all the toppings you could imagine! :-)
Q. When should I pick up my student?
A. Parents are strongly encouraged to arrive in the Big Gym at 8:00 for the CCC Ceremony to hear a mini-concert and see/hear student presentations from the day's activities.
Q. How many students will be participating?
A. About 300 students.
Q. Who will be managing all of these students & how can I help?
A. I (Mr. Dee) will be...but not by myself. ;-) We have over 50 parent volunteers & 24 high schoolers volunteering throughout the day (some ALL day, some just morning / afternoon / evening). Please sign up to help. There will also be some additional TCAPS staff on site throughout the day.
Q. What are the morning activities?
A. The morning will be spent in team-building activities focusing on physical, mental, and emotional challenges involving teams of about 10-12 students representing a variety of grades. These challenges will be based on the Choir Code, Path of a Titan, and John Wooden's Pyramid of Success. Activities will be in the Gyms, Little Theater, and Cafeterias.
Q. What are the afternoon activities?
A. We're gonna Dance & SING! :-) We'll also have a tug-of-war tournament, relay races, tons of other fun big group games, and a lot more singing!
Q. What are the evening activities?
A. Physical Activities in the gyms from 4 p.m.-8 p.m., Open Mic/Karaoke in the little theater from 4:15-7:30 and brand new this year - SILENT DISCO in the balcony! The Ceremony for family & friends is from 8:00-9:00.
Q. May students have cell phones?
A. Students may only have cell phones for emergency use or for texting a parent. The exception would be using them to access the choir website or take photos as part of the activities. If students are playing games, on social media, or using phones inappropriately, them may be asked to text or call home to leave.
CCC VOLUNTEERS
Friday Afternoon (2:45 - 5:00)
I will need some help transferring items from the choir room into the cafeteria and scooping the ice cream into bowls so this doesn't need to be done on Saturday. We'll also move sound equipment from the choir room to the BIG gym and set up some welcome tables.
SATURDAY
Morning is the busiest time of the day with students working in small groups of about 10-15 on a variety of challenges (physical, mental, emotional, etc.). These take place throughout the building (in the gym, little theater, choir room, cafeteria, and hallway). It's very helpful to have parents spread out at various stations to help monitor, encourage, and problem-solve. Lunch is served around noon and it's always nice to have many hands to help clean up (pizza, chips, and salad bar so not too much food prep).
Afternoon is in the little theater involving songs, dance, stories, and more. It will be a wonderful time and I'm sure you'd enjoy it if you can join us.
Evening has a bit more prep and serving involved with dinner and dessert (Qdoba taco bar and ice cream sundae bar). The rest of the evening is filled with fun activities of all sorts. I'm planning on Laser Tag in one of the gyms, Virtual Reality, Karaoke, and more! :-)
End of the day
All parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend the celebration ceremony at the end of the day from around 8:00-9:00. There will be a few things to clean up and return to their proper places before leaving. It won't take more than about 30 minutes.
