Let's celebrate our heroes on Wednesday!

Our mini dancers shined at tonight’s football halftime show! 🌟 A huge thank-you to Mrs. Graupman and the CHS Dance Team for hosting and helping make it such a fun and memorable performance!

It’s always a joy to share good news with our CES families! 🎉 Today, one student from each elementary classroom—37 in total—was selected to call home in recognition of their hard work, growth, or leadership. The smiles on their faces as they shared the news with moms, dads, grandparents, and more were truly priceless! ❤️

Goal Getters are back at CES!!!

CES Snapshots

"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 bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES! Vessimer Bagley (Mrs. Hansen’s Kindergarten Class) Vessemir beams with kindness. He is always thinking of others and ready to help. Our classroom shines bright with Vessemir! Whitlee Winder (Mrs. Daugherty’s 2nd Grade Class) She is always willing to help others, use kind words, reminds others to be kind, and a very hard worker. I love her smile and her positive attitude always. Great Job Whitlee!!! Ellis Schmidt (Mrs. Davis’ 5th grade) Ellie is kind, polite and thoughtful towards staff and students everyday, but there was one day last week when she brought tears to my eyes because of her compassion and care of a student. Ellie read to, sang with, and spent an exceptional amount of time caring for a student who is younger than her. Ellie went beyond any level of expectation of kindness and truly blew me away. I've always known she was kind, and I've seen her kindness towards my own little Hornet, but this experience described above was above and beyond exceptional.

Book Fair at CES!

The 3rd grade team at CES would like to shout out a huge thank you to, Dennis and Sherry Savage, (Jack Savage’s grandparents). They so gracious donated $500.00 for anything we needed in 3rd grade. The team decided on purchasing a colored printer and 20 new books for our mentor texts. We are beyond blessed for these gifts.

Perfect Penmanship Awards were awarded this week to Raelyn in 1st grade and Syrus in. 4th grade. ✍️

Congratulations to our incredible Special Olympics athletes! 🎉 Today, our students traveled to Carrollton to compete in a variety of track and field events—and they didn’t come home empty-handed! They brought back an impressive collection of medals and, more importantly, represented our school with pride, determination, and sportsmanship. It was the perfect day for competition, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements. Way to go, CES athletes! 🏅👏

Dear CES Families,

To help keep our CES families up to date on grade-level learning and classroom routines, our wonderful teachers have created short videos highlighting what’s happening at each grade level.

In the past, we held “Curriculum Nights” at school. However, we understand how busy family schedules can be. This year, our amazing classroom teachers and teams are bringing the curriculum highlights directly to you through these videos.

As always, if you have any questions about your child’s progress or classroom procedures, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher through the CR2 app or by email. If you have not signed up to attend 1st Quarter Parent-Teacher Conferences, please be sure to do so using the Signup.com link your child’s teacher has shared. We look forward to seeing everyone at conferences and working together to ensure the very best learning experience for all of our Hornets!

Together, we will continue building a positive and supportive learning experience for all of our Hornets!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cox

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 bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES! Noah Conejo (Miss Book’s 1st grade) Noah lights up the first grade hallway with his smile every morning. He always has a positive attitude and makes everyone around him feel welcomed. Noah radiates kindness with everything that he does. Terrell Johnson (Ms. Davis - 3rd Grade) Terrell stepped up in many ways to help my class on Friday. Terrell was finished with his work, and volunteered to help another student take a break from class. He walked around CES with this student during their break, and when they came back, they both had smiles. Terrell is always a kind, supportive, and empathetic friend. I'm so proud of him! Jack Ream (Mrs. Dodson - 4th Grade) Jack is always offering to help out his fellow classmates and myself as a teacher. He is extremely kind to all and very supportive of his classmates when we are in small group. We are proud to have Jack in our classroom!
