🚦 Life is Full of Choices!
On Friday, April 17, our CMS 8th graders stepped into the Teen Maze, an interactive, life-sized "game of life" designed to show students the real-world consequences of the decisions they make.
What is Teen Maze?
It’s not just a path through a gym—it's an experiential learning event where students navigate various stations representing life choices. From education and career paths to the legal and health consequences of risky behaviors, the "Maze" provides a safe environment for students to see how one decision can change their entire future.
Our students walked away with a better understanding of:
The Power of Choice: Seeing firsthand how positive decisions lead to success.
Real-World Consequences: Navigating the "legal" and "medical" hurdles of risky actions.
Future Planning: Exploring graduation and career options.
🌟 A Huge Thank You!
This impactful day wouldn't have been possible without the incredible leadership and coordination of our community partners. A special shout-out to:
Kristy Mock, Executive Director of Evans County Family Connection
Ambi Bess, Coordinator for the South East Health District
A special thanks also goes out to our guest speaker, Candice Bacon, and her platform "I Made It Through," with the message to our students that they can make it through hard times too.
Thank you for investing in our students and helping them navigate the road to success! 🎓✨

💛🐦 Mrs. Hallman’s second grade class had such a sweet and exciting week in their classroom learning all about birds! 🌿📚
Our day was extra special because Mrs. Busbie’s class invited them in to meet some of the chicks she has been hatching and caring for 🐥💛. The students were SO excited to see them up close and even got the chance to gently hold them! 🤍✨ There were lots of smiles 😄, a few squeals 😆, and so many great connections to what they’ve been learning all week 🧠🔗.
Hands‑on moments like this truly bring learning to life 🙌📖, and we are so thankful for opportunities like this! 💕✨

Big things are happening at Claxton Elementary… and this time, the students are running the newsroom 🎤✨
Our students have taken on the role of “family reporters,” sharing important upcoming events so everyone can stay connected and in the loop. From reminders to can’t-miss happenings, they’re helping keep our school community informed in a whole new way!
This isn’t just exciting—it’s powerful. By leading these updates, students are building real-world communication skills, learning responsibility, and discovering what it means to contribute to a community. Those are skills that last far beyond the classroom walls.
We are incredibly proud of the confidence, effort, and teamwork our students showed. They truly did an amazing job bringing these updates to life! Stay tuned for future student reporters at https://www.parentsquare.com/signin.

🧪 The Art of the Pickling: Cross-Curricular Success! 🧅
Cross-curricular education is in full swing at CHS! Our Horticulture students recently harvested a beautiful crop of radishes and onions they previously planted, but instead of just a salad, they turned them into a lesson on food preservation.
Special thanks to Mrs. Hart for inviting the students to the culinary arts kitchen so she could give them a hands on less on pickling. Students learned how preservation can impact food waste, shelf life, and nutritional value.
Watching our students apply their Ag knowledge to a Culinary setting is exactly what career readiness is all about. Not only did they gain a new skill, but they also got to take home the literal "fruits" (well, technically the veggies) of their labor! 🐯💪

🚗💨 Physics in Motion in Mrs. Stephens’ 8th Grade Class! 💨🚗
Students took learning to new heights—literally! Using PocketLab G-Force sensors, they designed and built their own roller coasters to explore how energy transforms throughout motion. 🎢
From the top of the track to the final drop, students investigated how potential energy changes into kinetic energy, bringing S8P2a, S8P2b, and S8P2c to life in a hands-on way.
📊 Students didn’t just build—they became scientists:
• Collected real-time data
• Analyzed graphs of motion and acceleration
• Identified patterns in energy changes
The classroom was buzzing with curiosity, collaboration, and a little bit of friendly competition as students tested and improved their designs!
Learning wasn’t just happening—it was rolling, racing, and accelerating! ⚡

Science is growing all around us in Mrs. Bullard’s and Mrs. LaSala’s 5th grade classes 🌱🔬
Earlier this year, students explored plant types and cell structures, and now they’re bringing that learning full circle. With our new hydroponics system, they are revisiting those concepts in a hands-on way by growing a variety of plants and observing how living things survive and thrive.
From examining plant cells under the microscope to watching their plants grow day by day, students are making meaningful, real-world connections that bring science to life.
This is just the beginning—stay tuned for more exciting hydroponics learning ahead 💚
