🦅🖤💛 TOP 10% IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY! 💛🖤🦅 CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS SOARING! We are incredibly proud to announce that, based on our overall indicator rating on the 2025–2026 Kentucky School Report Card, Central Elementary School ranks among the TOP 10% of all elementary schools in Kentucky! 🏆 This is more than a ranking. It’s a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment that take place inside our classrooms every single day. Behind this accomplishment are teachers who go above and beyond, students who show up ready to learn and grow, staff members who give their very best, and families who believe in and support our school. Great schools don’t happen by accident. They are built through strong relationships, high expectations, intentional instruction, and an unwavering belief that EVERY child can succeed. As proud as we are of this achievement, we know our work is far from finished. We will continue challenging ourselves, raising expectations, and finding ways to make Central Elementary even better for the children we serve. To our entire Eagle Family — THIS IS YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT! Thank you for being part of something special. We are proud of where we’ve been, excited about where we’re going, and committed to leaving a legacy that extends far beyond the classroom. 🦅 Learn. Lead. Live a Legacy. 💛🖤 Every day is a GREAT day to be an EAGLE!

🦅🖤💛 ZERO. NONE. NOT ONE! 💛🖤🦅 We have another incredible achievement to celebrate at Central Elementary School! On the 2025–2026 Kentucky Summative Assessment, 0% of our 5th-grade students scored Novice in On-Demand Writing! ✏️📚 That’s right — ZERO students performing at the Novice level! This accomplishment represents years of intentional instruction, high expectations, hard work, and a commitment to ensuring EVERY student has the opportunity to succeed. We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and perseverance, and we are equally proud of our teachers for the countless hours they invest in helping our Eagles grow! This is what happens when we refuse to settle, believe in every child, and work together toward a common goal! We aren’t just celebrating a test score. We’re celebrating students who are growing as writers, thinkers, and learners! ❤️ 🦅 Learn. Lead. Live a Legacy. 💛 Every day is a GREAT day to be an EAGLE!

These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication of our incredible teachers and staff, the determination of our students, and the unwavering support of our families and community. We are especially proud that these results reflect more than academic achievement. They reflect a culture of high expectations, meaningful relationships, and a shared belief that EVERY student is capable of success. While we are excited to celebrate this milestone, our work is far from finished. We will continue to challenge, encourage, and empower every Eagle who walks through our doors.

C.E.S. Family Time for October! This month, we are reviewing Habit 3: "Put First Things First"!

🍎2nd Grade had tons of apple fun today with apple volcanos and q-tip painting! We can't wait to see what else this week has in store for us! 🍏

A few of Mrs. Skaggs' younger students had some hands-on fun with a Gummy Worm Investigation! They combined science and math as they observed gummy worms and explored their color, texture, size, and other characteristics. The students practiced measurement by using blocks to determine the length of their worms, made observations using their senses, and even tested what happened when the gummy worms were placed in water. Learning is always a little more fun when you can see it, touch it, measure it—and maybe even eat it when you’re finished!
