📚✨ Student-Led Learning in Action at CES! ✨📚 Mrs. Miller’s class was engaged in a Kagan cooperative learning strategy today — Jot Thoughts — and the collaboration was outstanding! Students were actively generating ideas, sharing their thinking, and building on one another’s responses. When learning is structured for engagement, every voice is heard and every student participates. This is what active, student-centered instruction looks like! Even Mr. Conley jumped in to join a group — because at CES, we believe leaders learn alongside students. 💛🖤

Big thank you to Paintsville Utilities and General Manager Bob Pack for their quick response today. Accidents happen — and unfortunately this sewer lid was run over and damaged. I notified Mr. Pack, and in less than 30 minutes a crew was on site and had the issue taken care of. We appreciate the hard work and responsiveness of the Paintsville Utilities team. Their commitment to serving our community does not go unnoticed.

Congratulations to Mrs. Jennifer Flannery! She was the recipient of this month's Golden Eagle Award at the February Board Meeting.

🖤💛 Central Elementary Supporting the DeWire Family 💛🖤 The Central Elementary family is joining our Johnson County community in lifting up 17-year-old Braylon DeWire and his family following the tragic brush fire accident in late January. As a school community, we believe in showing up for one another during difficult times. CES is currently collecting direct financial donations to help support the DeWire family with medical and travel expenses during Braylon’s recovery. If you would like to contribute, donations may be sent via PayPal to: 📧 bcd.guess@gmail.com Every act of generosity — big or small — makes a difference. Most importantly, we ask that you continue to keep Braylon and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this time. This is what community looks like. #CESGoldStandard #EagleFamily #JohnsonCountyStrong
