This evening, CES hosted our first ever "Kindergarten Orientation." Approximately 90 future Hornets attended along with their families to learn more about attending CES. Students visited the playground, had cookies in the cafeteria and were able to sit on the school bus before departing. We look forward to having the Class of 2037 as kindergartners in August!











Our Hornet High Five buckets have been so full that we drew out names of some of the"Lucky Ducks" at CES!






Kindergartner, Barrett Cummings is this week's "Let Your Kind Shine" recipient! Read what his teacher, Mrs. Reeter has to say about Barrett!

Bryer from Mrs. Bonderer's class helped a friend at recess. A friend was upset that someone took a ball from him at recess, so Bryer gave him his ball to make him feel better.
Gracie from Mrs. Ward's class was nominated by a classmate for writing kind notes to fill other people's buckets!
Great job Bucket Fillers!!

We were so honored to welcome Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and First Lady, Teresa Parson to CES today! While here, they took a private tour with the R-II Board of Education and District administrative staff, and then met with the public for a book signing event in the library.








Chillicothe Elementary Schools would like to recognize Mrs. Chris Shearer, Mrs. Sara Eller and Mrs. Jessica O'Berry on National Administrative Professionals Day! Our students, staff and community are so thankful for each of you!!!


Don't forget! Gov. Mike Parson will be visiting CES TODAY and will be available to meet the public during a book signing event to promote his book, "No Turnin' Back G57," from 4 to 4:30 PM in the Library. Everyone is welcome to attend!


First grader, Miss Kinley Jeffries is this week's "Let Your Kind Shine" recipient. To no surprise, Kinley was nominated more than once. Here's what her teachers said about her... "Kinley is a shining star. She is the first to offer help to teachers and students. Her kind manners and thoughtfulness are unmatched."
"Kinley is a star helper. She is always offering to help with any task and is the first to help a friend in need. Thank you for always thinking of others Kinley!" Keep shining, Kinley! ☀️☀️
