The Calvin Christian School Challenge, which took place on Saturday, October 1, was a great time where students from all three Calvin campuses gathered together around Lake Harriet for a time of bonding and friendly competition.
The purpose of the CCS Challenge is to bring all campuses together in an effort to fundraise and connect the three schools. Caleb Modder, a 10th grader at CCHS said, “I just love how it builds community and shalom so well; it just brings us together as a school.”
This year’s event gathered almost twice as many participants than in previous years, amounting to at least 400 people registered. “The 5K began as a bikeathon, combining private schools in the area. The organizer of the event retired, but Calvin wanted to continue the tradition in an effort to engage the Calvin community, ” said Lisa De Kam, the CCS coordinator.
Hopefully everyone had a fun time and will come again next year!
