On Thursday, September 11 (9/11), we will celebrate Patriot Day by honoring our first responders and American heroes. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue as we welcome special visitors from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, Chillicothe Police Department, and Chillicothe Ambulance Department. Together, we will learn about their important work and show our appreciation for their service to our community and country.


This week, our CES students practiced important bus safety and evacuation procedures. We are grateful to Mr. Darrell Wright and all of the Chillicothe R-II bus drivers for their dedication to transporting our students safely each day.









Hornet Friday ❤️







CES is settling into routines in our classrooms and beginning fall diagnostics.











Yesterday, Mrs. Eller, one of our front office secretaries, taught our 2nd grade WINGS students about growing plants. The students had just learned about photosynthesis in order to begin growing their own plants in an aquaponics system. Mrs. Eller is a master gardener at her home & serves as our school’s best plant expert. The students were thrilled to exam the plant parts, un-pot them to examine the root system, learn about plant food, & listen to all the work Mrs. Eller does to care for them daily. Lastly, she displayed pictures of all the different plants in her yard. Thank you Mrs. Eller for sharing your talents & knowledge with us!
