Chillicothe Elementary - Home of the Hornets

Last day to order Art to Remember !

“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! Tatum Dickerson (Mrs. Bonderer’s 1st grade) Tatum brings so much warmth to our classroom every single day. He is always looking out for his friends and making sure everyone feels included. Whenever someone is feeling left out, Tatum is the first one to invite them to join in. He also sticks up for his classmates by gently reminding others to be kind with their words. He is always polite, respectful, and friendly! Colton Smith (Ms. Myer’s 2nd Grade Class) Colton consistently provides kindness to adults and his peers. He is always willing to help others and uses kind words. Kendrick Keller (Mrs. Rasmussen’s 4th grade classroom) Kendrick shows genuine kindness, compassion, and selfless generosity. He is always the first to lend a helping hand to a classmate in need, whether answering a question, offering encouragement, or sharing their time and support. Their positive attitude, patience, and willingness to lift others up enrich our classroom community and inspire those around them every single day.

🐝 HORNETS SHOW STRENGTH! 🐝

Real strength isn’t about being the biggest, loudest, or toughest. It’s about being kind, including others, and standing up for what’s right! 💛

The Chillicothe Police Department’s School Resource Officer Division, in partnership with Chillicothe R-II Schools, is excited to introduce Hornets Show Strength—a district-wide campaign promoting bullying prevention, positive choices, inclusion, and student leadership.

For our youngest Hornets, showing strength means: 🐝 Recognizing hurtful behavior. 🐝 Refusing to join in teasing or exclusion. 🐝 Helping others feel welcome. 🐝 Having the courage to tell a trusted adult when someone is being hurt.

Asking for help is a sign of strength!

Our campaign centers on three core principles: 💛 CHARACTER 💪 COMMITMENT 🦁 COURAGE

Through age-appropriate messages, activities, and positive recognition, we’re working to build a school community where every student feels valued, included, and supported.

📄 Parents and caregivers: Please review the attached flyer with your child and talk about ways they can show strength each day.

STRONG HORNETS LIFT OTHERS UP! 🐝

Mrs. Thompson’s 4th graders enjoyed a special visit today from their Partners in Education (PIE), Chillicothe Emergency Services! The visitors read a book to the students and brought adorable water bottles and treats. A big thank-you to Chillicothe Emergency Services for their kindness and support!

Happy Halloween, CES! 🎃👻 Have a safe, fun, and spooktacular celebration! 🍬✨

"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! Halstyn Sewell (Miss Cothern’s 1st Grade) Halstyn is one of the sweetest kiddos! She is always ready to lend a hand and is the first one to include anyone that is left out. She has stepped away from her group in math, on a couple different occasions to play the math game with a student who didn't have a partner. Halstyn is patient and is kind to this student all the time and really makes everyone feel included! I am so proud of her and her ability to help others no matter what. Wendell Myelin (Mrs. Bonderer’s 3rd Grade) Wendell spent recess playing with another student (who is not used to being in a regular education classroom). Wendell included the student in playing knockout with him and his friends. He consistently encouraged the student to shoot baskets and watched out for him while other friends were shooting to make sure he didn't get hit with a ball. When the student did get hit with a ball, Wendell expressed immediate concern and apologized to the student and gave him a hug. Wendell was very patient, kind, and encouraging! Colt Sensenich (Mrs. Beck’s 4th Grade, nominated by Mrs. Dodson) Colt is always helping out his friends and offering to help his teachers! He walks in the building every day with a smile on his face! He offers to help pick up recess items on the playground, and is always telling everyone hello! Way to be kind, Colt!
