THE TOP TEN THINGS I AM THINKING ON-OCTOBER 19, 2011

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS." Phil. 4:8

1. I think my quote of the week comes from Jack Nicklaus. He said, "There is no room in your mind for negative thoughts. The busier you keep yourself with the particulars of shot assessment and execution, the less chance your mind has to dwell on the emotional. This is sheer intensity."


2. I think that this week our faculty will go through the "Do the Right Thing" training. This will explore the ethical and moral breakdown that is assaulting culture from all sides. It will encourage us to examine ourselves and how character issues relate to our lives at home and school. My prayer is that God will instruct us and inspire us to be influencers for integrity.

3. I think a great way for our students to show school pride is by wearing Catamount Clothing. There is a wide variety of t-shirts, hoodies, jackets at the school sports store. Please go to www.ccsathletics.org to view and order. This is a good source for our blue and gold days.

4. I think for our fall offering we are receiving food for the students at Rolling Ridge. This food will go home in their back packs for their weekends. This is a good way for us to minister school to school. Our goal is to fill 100 bags. This week we brought in 20. The homeroom teachers have the list of recommended food.

5. I think next week is a big week for us in the athletic program. We are hosting the NVIAC middle school volleyball tournament. We will have the semifinals on Tuesday and the championship and consolation games on Thursday. The games will be at 4:00 and 5:00pm each day. I need help in helping setup and tear down. I need greeters as well. If you would like to help please email me at tpangle@countychristianschool.org.

6. I think our middle school girls volleyball team will be in action on Monday during the first round of the tournament. I will know on Friday the location and the time.

7. I think we will have the second annual "Dig for Nicaragua" event on November 11. This will be a way for us to support our middle school mission trip in the spring. We need donated items or services for the silent auction. The fol owing game schedule will happen on this night...
5:00pm Middle School Girls Volleyball Team Against the Middle School Boys (6th-8th).
6:00pm Middle School Girls Volleyball Team Against the Faculty.

8. I think our middle school cross country team will be practicing next Wednesday from 2 to 3pm. The NVIAC league meet will then be on October 28th at Burke Lake Park. The bus will leave at 2:00pm. The roster is due on Monday so if your child is interested, please notify me. This is open for boys and girls in 6th-8th grade.

9. I think these are my "Touchdown Topics" for week six...
Game of the Week-New York Giants versus Buffalo Bills
Team of the Week-Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Player of the Week-LeSean McCoy
Coach of the Week-Hue Jackson

10. I think I agree with the decision to start John Beck this week. The Redskins will win 28-10 over the Panthers. By the way, it sure was hard to face the biggest Eagle fan I know...Devin Greenhow. I hope we can win the next game against them.
