Who: All 3rd to 5th-grade students are welcome to audition
When: Auditions will be held on Wednesday, February 5th from 7:30AM-8:15AM at The City Park Auditorium. They will need to get breakfast AFTER their audition.
What to Prepare: Please have your child come prepared to perform a song of their choice. They will also read different scenes from the play. No prior acting experience is required—just bring a positive attitude and a willingness to have fun!

Be on the lookout for a flyer with more information!


Students in Ms. Cushman’s 1st Grade Class built piggy banks leading up to a lesson about coin identification and counting coins. They did a great job reading the step-by-step instructions!




Recently, students from the C3 Gifted Center competed at the First Lego League Regional Competition in Cartersville, Georgia. Catabots #1 and Catabots #2 won the local competition. Catabots 1 competed last weekend and finished in the Top 10 with their Robot Missions and Innovative Solution Project. They will be competing at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga on February 8th. Great job! CP's very own Panther, Jaiden Beltran is a member of Catabots 1.
