C2C's Got Talent


It was a night of a thousand talents...well about 30 talents. Students and teachers shared their skills and talents in a show that included singing, dancing, joke telling, tennis, pitching, skateboarding, arts & crafts, a puppet show, and amazing twists of double-jointed fingers!. Everyone got up there to share our skills. There are more photos in the slide show, but here is our MC and skateboarder-- Ozzie!

Soccer Match




Several students were out on the soccer pitch to play with Dr. Tadie & his guys. Check out the slide show for some outstanding moves & goals!

Dodgeball for The Ages!


It was down to one kid. Sergio was the only one from his team still in the dodgeball game. The other team had about ten students left. One student said, "It looks like it's over. Well, but if he wins this, he will be the Dodgeball Champion of All Time!" Sergio went to work, dodging the water-soaked balls whipped at him and rifling two and three balls at a time to pick off his opponents, one-by-one. The crowd went crazy. We couldn't believe he could do it! It was finally down to just Mari & Sergio. She dodged his tosses and threw with all her might, but in the end, Sergio was victorious.

Weekend Fun!


Our Saturday and Sunday was spent having some fun and also hanging out and getting a little bit of rest! After classes on Saturday morning, students participated in a ropes course and then we went canoeing with Brother John. (Check the slideshow for pictures of canoeing!) Sunday we were up for Church at St. Thomas More Chapel, and had a pancake brunch ready for us when we returned. (THANKS EDITH & OZZIE!) Then, in the afternoon, we went to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, MN. We got to learn all about eagles and watch one of the eagles eat a rat! It was disgusting (but still a little cool). There are photos on the slideshow of that, too!

KEEP THE COMMENTS COMING! The kids are very excited when people say hello.

C2C IS SO FUN! C2C IS SO FUN!
C2C is fun for us
Especially when we go ghost hunting
And although we have to go to bed at 10:30
First we take a shower because we get dirty
And sometimes we go to the game room
And play games like ping-pong and pool
C2C IS SO FUN! C2C IS SO FUN!

SATURDAY CLASSES
Saturday classes are so great!
Saturday classes make me late
I like to go to sleep at 8:09
I like to sleep in all the time
Saturday classes are such a fun game
Saturday classes are for lames
I like to grab my books and head out the door
I like to grab a snickers and get on the road
Saturday classes advance my mind
Saturday classes take up my time
I'd rather be in my desk typing
I'd rather be at the mall shopping
Saturday classes are great for everyone
Saturday classes are great for lames

HAIR
AFTER I TAKE A SHOWER, AFTER I TAKE A SHOWER
My hair gets straight
My hair gets curly
I hate how it looks
I love the way it looks
But it's really long But It's really long
I wish I could cut it all off
I wish it would grow
My hair gets very tangled
It is so easy to brush my hair
I REALLY HATE MY HAIR! I REALLY LOVE MY HAIR!

BASEBALL IS GREAT! BASEBALL IS BORING!
Baseball is fun
Baseball is so lame
It's the best game
All you do is throw the ball and try to hit it
But once you get that hit or that catch,
the blood rushes through your veins
The possibilities of getting a hit,
thrown at 90 mph, is slim to none
And just that chance of getting one
is so, so much fun
You don't even have achance to catch any balls
if you are in the outfield because the batters can't hit far
Well, whoever says you don't get a chance
has never played baseball before
BASEBALL IS THE GREATEST GAME IN EXISTENCE

BASEBALL IS THE WORST GAME IN EXISTENCE
