Evans County Pre-K loaded up the buses and rolled into Rock Hill Farm in Cobbtown, Georgia for a day sprinkled with wonder and giggles. Our little adventurers made fast friends with rabbits, goats, a gentle horse, curious pigs, waddling ducks, and gobbling turkeys. The hayride brought hills and thrills, while the bounce house and balloon whirlwind kept feet flying and laughter popping. 📯🎈
We cuddled up for storytime with Santa himself, complete with the coziest hugs, and just when we thought the day couldn’t get any sweeter… snow danced down from the sky. Smiles sparkled everywhere, memories were made, and our hearts rode home full of farm-fresh joy. ❄️🎅🐐

Happy Holidays from CMS!
We hope your holiday season is filled with joy, peace, and special moments with family and friends. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making our school community so special. ❤️🎄
Ms. Kearney’s elementary Agriculture classes enjoyed a special visit throughout the day from Ashleigh Geurin, one of our local UGA Extension Agents! 🍊
As part of our Harvest of the Month activities, students learned a fun science lesson about citrus—discovering that citrus floats in water with the peel on, but sinks once the peel is removed. They also sampled delicious Kishu mandarin oranges locally grown at MJ Family Farm in Glennville.
Classes wrapped up by watching a citrus-themed video and enjoying a coloring activity, making it a fun and educational day for everyone!

🎨🎄 CMS Students Spreading Holiday Cheer 🎄🎨
CMS Visual Arts students shared the true spirit of the season by painting small artworks and decorating gift bags for the senior citizens at Glenvue. In total, students created 130 original paintings!
Each resident received a gift bag with candy, an orange, and a handmade painting to hang in their room. More importantly, our students learned the true meaning of giving — not expecting anything in return, but simply sharing joy and seeing the smiles on the faces of the residents at Glenvue. ❤️
We are so proud of our students for using their talents to make a difference!

🌳 Basic Ag Students Reading Tree Rings! 🌲
Mr. Turner's Basic Ag class is hard at work learning the science of dendrochronology (tree-ring dating)! 🧐
This hands-on technique allows students to determine a tree's exact age and even learn about its life history by examining the growth rings. What a great way to combine history, science, and agriculture! 💡
