Thousand Oaks, CA – Compass Charter Schools (CCS) announced scholar Clara M, a third grade scholar of CCS of San Diego, as the July winner of its #CCSFirebird Photo Contest. The contest invites CCS scholars to decorate and name the school mascot, the Firebird. Then, scholars are encouraged to enjoy their summer activities with their decorated Firebird, and share pictures of their adventures with CCS on social media.
Clara shared several photos of her travels with the CCS Firebird including a trip to an alpaca ranch in Oregon, and a trip to a nearby lake. She will receive a pair of movie tickets as the grand prize. Other CCS scholars entered photos of their July travels with the CCS mascot to museums, iconic U.S. landmarks and much more.
“Congratulations to Clara for being named the July winner of our #CCSFirebird Photo Contest,” said J.J. Lewis, CCS President & CEO. “All summer long Clara has a done a wonderful job of sharing several photos of her many adventures with her colorful CCS mascot. Thank you to all of our scholars who have entered the #CCSFirebird Photo Contest so far. I look forward to seeing more of your photos before we select the August winner.”
The #CCSFirebird Photo Contest will continue accepting entries until the end of August. Along with their picture, scholars are encouraged to choose creative names for the CCS Firebird mascot. At the end of August, the name of each submitted mascot will be collected, and then CCS scholars and staff will vote to select the mascot’s official, new name.
