CES Snapshots










Our first ABC Riders of the year! 🚌🔤🎉
These amazing kindergartners know ALL of their uppercase and lowercase letters—even when they’re scrambled—and can confidently share ALL of their letter sounds!
Way to go, ABC Riders! 🌟 We are so proud of your hard work and all that you’ve learned! 💙📚


Happy, happy birthday! 🎂📚










Our 4th-grade students recently attended Progressive Agriculture Safety Day, the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America! The event provides engaging, hands-on lessons designed to teach students how to recognize everyday hazards and make safe choices at home, on the farm, and throughout their communities.
We are so grateful to the Livingston County Health Center, the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day Foundation, and our community partners for bringing this vital program to local youth. First introduced in Livingston County in the fall of 2024, this event is now held annually for all county fourth graders—equipping our students with essential safety knowledge and practical life skills!










Look at our Goal Getters! 🎯🌟
From scoring 100% on math tests to mastering first-quarter sight words and so much more, our students are setting goals, working hard, and achieving BIG things!
Way to crush those goals, CES! 💪📚🎉 We are so proud of you!



Fall Family Ag Night is Back! 🚜🌾

CES October Menu

Great learning was happening in our classrooms today! 📚✨ Students engaged with high-quality texts and meaningful questions that encouraged deep thinking and strengthened their understanding.







A big thank you to the Livingston County Retired Teachers and Education Employees (MRTA) for spoiling our staff today with some yummy snacks! 🍪❤️
We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and your continued support of our staff, students, and education. Thank you for thinking of us!


"Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine keepsake and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
Liliana Woods (Miss Cothern’s 1st Grade)
She is always willing to help other students and is a great teacher helper!
Kennisyn Lawson (Mrs. Schneider’s 3rd Grade)
Kennisyn is always looking to help others out and to be a good friend to those who might be sad or looking for a friend. She is quick to stand up for others who might be feeling down or unseen. She has the biggest heart and likes to see others feel loved and celebrated. I have witnessed many times already this year where Kennisyn has been caring, empathetic and helpful to other students. Keep shining, Kennisyn!!
Lincoln Marte (Mrs. Thompson’s 4th Grade)
Lincoln is a great friend to all the students in our class. He makes sure everyone feels included and is always looking for ways to involve others in activities. He works hard to stay on task and always tries his best. He is a bright light in our classroom and brings kindness and positivity to those around him.



Our 2nd graders are preparing a song for the Veterans Program in November. More information will be shared soon! 🇺🇸


Mr. Rader’s 5th graders had a great time learning how to add decimals today! ⏱️➕ Students used a timer to complete mini-games, recorded their times, and then practiced adding those times together. The activity was a huge success and kept students engaged while making math fun and meaningful!
