Upcountry History Museum Lunch and Learn Program:
“CCES: Untold Stories”
March 24, 12 – 1 p.m.

Upcountry History Museum Exhibit:
“The First 50 Years of CCES: Growing with Greenville”
March 17 – April 15

There’s “official” history and there’s oral history.

Think of the Lunch and Learn on March 24 as oral history: the kind of stories families chuckle over at the dinner table.

Think of the museum exhibit as the kind of history you might present in a family scrapbook—an extension of the formal stories presented in our 50th anniversary history book by Allison Warren ’82.

Both events are special and unique, and everyone is invited to both!

We have some great story-tellers lined up on our Lunch and Learn panel: South Carolina Supreme Court Justice John Kittredge ’75, Dena Stone Benedict ’78, veteran CCES teachers Jean Cochran and Barbara Carter, and Headmaster Emeritus Jim Rumrill. But don’t expect them to hog the microphones entirely: you are invited to bring your stories too!

Reservations are advised for the Lunch and Learn: call the museum at 467-3100.

While you are there—or any time between March 17 and April 15—stop upstairs to view the museum’s exhibit: “The First 50 Years of Christ Church Episcopal School: Growing with Greenville.” Enjoy photos, memorabilia, student projects, even “historic” tee shirts—and relive some of the memories that have made CCES’s first 50 years something to celebrate!
