“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! Remi Flick (Mrs. Marriott’s 1st Grade Class) Remi is a soft spoken, sweet soul. When first grade celebrated our fun Apple Rotation Day, Remi spent the night before creating hand written personal notes for every child in our class to take home saying, “Happy Apple Day.” Remi is the first to help clean up and work with a smile! Zane Shaw (Ms. Myers’ Class - 3rd Grade) Zane is a friend to many and gets along well with others. He is kind, caring, and patient. Joseph Norman (Mrs. Jones’ 4th Grade Class) Joe is so kind to all other students. He is willing to work with or sit by any classmate and is always the first to lend a helping hand when someone needs assistance. His kindness does not go unnoticed and he is a great example for all.

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! ❤️
