The Cherokee Creek Boys School Blog
Sharing Valuable Resources … and Stories About Life at CCBS
Welcome to the Cherokee Creek Boys School two-part blog … featuring helpful resources and information … and a behind-the-scenes look at life on our CCBS campus.
CCBS is a learning community dedicated to helping boys (ages 10 – 15, in grades 5 through 10) and their families discover what is real and true about themselves and the world around them. Our blog provides families and boys with support, information, ideas and inspiration from our CCBS team … as well as from experts and resources … that help us all continue to learn and grow.
CCBS Blogger / BOTO the Bear, CCBS Mascot and Blogger. My name, BOTO, is short for an important lesson we teach here … a reminder for us all … that to keep growing and learning, we must always “Be Open To Outcome”.
