To honor the hard work and preparation put into this year’s production of “Clue on Stage” by Sandy Rustin, CCS Art Teacher Janelle Kraus and CCS English Teacher Rebecca Burk-Sciallo delivered painted portraits of each main character (May Wadsworth, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Ms. Scarlet, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard) to the student's home. The paintings were originally intended to be part of the production set. Each painting represents a CCS student as their character and will serve as a reminder to each student of their part in the 2020 CCS Jr/Sr High Play.
