CCS staff and students gathered to celebrate our school's history and honor Mr. and Mrs. Miller during our second annual Founder's Day event.  This year, we surprised the Millers with a game show themed assembly.  Mr. and Mrs. Miller were contestants on "This Is Your School", our version of the 1950's game show, "This Is Your Life".  The Millers listened to recordings made by mystery guests, from Challenge Charter School's past and present, who shared stories about their experiences with our guests of honor.  Some of the mystery guests were even able to attend the assembly and surprise the Millers in person.  Each mystery guest that the Millers identified resulted in the chance for our "studio audience" (aka our students) to win some fantastic prizes!   Everyone had a great time.

We would like to thank all of the mystery guests who recorded a message for the Millers, our game show hostess Ralphina Edwards, and also all the CCS kids who helped to make this day special for our founders by making the beautiful banners that were displayed to illustrate the history/timeline of Challenge Charter School.
