Big-time shoutout to Mrs. Smith, our Staff Shoutout of the Week, selected by our Student Lighthouse Team! 👏🦅 Mrs. Smith consistently models what it means to lead, love, and serve others. Whether she’s building strong relationships, creating an engaging classroom, or pouring into our students each day, her impact does not go unnoticed. Our students said it best—she teaches leadership by living it. We are proud to have her at CES and thankful for the difference she makes every single day. Every day is a GREAT day to be an Eagle! 🖤💛

Hands-on science day! 🌎 Mrs. Skaggs' students explored nature objects and practiced observation skills by noticing colors, textures, and unique details. Little scientists at work! 🔍🍃

Mrs. Skaggs class enjoyed a Shamrock Sight Word Hunt today! After completing the activity, students earned their very own Leprechaun License for being word-finding experts, showing off their super reading powers, and demonstrating kindness in the classroom. 🍀📚

CES is extremely proud of our Jim Claypool Conservation Art and Writing winners.

Big-time appreciation to Mrs. Heather Butcher, our District Instructional Supervisor and CES Liaison, for leading an outstanding presentation at our District Strategic Planning Committee meeting! She brought a wealth of knowledge and insight, diving deep into multiple layers of district strengths—including detailed 3-year trends that help guide our decisions and keep us focused on what matters most: student success. Grateful for her leadership, clarity, and commitment to helping us move forward with purpose. The work we’re doing today is building a stronger tomorrow for our students!

🏐 🦅 Update for Tonight 🏐 🦅 Due to weather and cancellation of school, tonight’s volleyball game along with our 5th & 6th Grade Night festivities have been cancelled. The good news is that both events will be rescheduled, and we will communicate that date as soon as it is finalized. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our students and programs. 💛🖤
