Sunshine State Young Readers Award
At CSS, we aim to foster a love of literature by encouraging students to read challenging, quality books written by a variety of authors across multiple genres. The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a motivational program for students grades three through eight, that encourages students to read independently for pleasure, and to read books that are on, above, and below their reading level in order to improve their reading fluency. Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and multicultural representation.

Student Council
Established in 2023, the Lower School Student Council (STUCO) is comprised of members grades 2 through 5. Together, students plan and manage bi-weekly morning announcements, spirit weeks, and the after-school Chess Club.

Wee Mail
Students Grades 3 through 5 can apply to assist with the Lower School mail service known as Wee Mail. As part of this service, students are tasked with sorting, stamping, and delivering messages to classrooms prior to the start of the school day.
