🍎✨ Thank You, Georgia Southern PPB Students! ✨🍎

Mrs. Kelly’s class celebrated McCullough Mathews and Jasmine Terrell, PPB students from Georgia Southern University, as the special recipients of our October Sunshine Basket! ☀️

We are appreciative of the Culinary Production students who have been rolling up their sleeves each day this semester and have spent time in the School Nutrition Program kitchen, helping prepare breakfast foods!

From learning proper food safety and preparation techniques to seeing firsthand what it takes to nourish an entire school, these students are gaining real-world experience and building skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.

We’re so proud of their dedication, teamwork, and passion for the culinary arts.

A huge thank-you to our School Nutrition team for mentoring and supporting our young chefs as they continue to grow!

Today sophomores interested in pursuing a career in construction interviewed with Todd Padgett and general contractor, Richard DeLoach. These interviews were held to identify the first carpentry cohort that will start in January.

These young men prepared resumes, dressed for success, confidently answered questions, and completed a measurement performance task. Best of luck to all applicants!

🎀 Red Ribbon Week at CMS Was a Huge Success! ❤️

Students and staff showed their Tiger Pride all week long by dressing up for themed days and celebrating making healthy choices! 🐯✨

We wrapped up the week with an exciting pep rally — parents joined us for an informational session with Mrs. Snyder, then faced off against the teachers in a fun game of Nine Square! 🙌

Students also competed in dodgeball, and our 7th graders came out on top! 💪

We proudly recognized our Tennis Team, Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball Teams, and students with perfect attendance so far this year. 🎾🏀👏

Our amazing cheerleaders and band kept the energy high and made the event unforgettable! 🎶🎉

🌟 Ms. Swift’s Class is Reaching for the Stars! 🌟

This week, our students learned all about the attributes of stars — from brightness and color to size and temperature! They even got to research their own stars and share some out-of-this-world facts with the class. 🌠💫
We’re so proud of their curiosity and excitement for learning!

CHS Students Get a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Public Safety!

🚨 Our Claxton High School freshmen had an amazing field trip, visiting the Claxton Police Department and the Claxton Public Safety Complex.

Students learned firsthand about patrol operations, communications, and community policing from Chief Kirkland, Lt. McKinnon, and SRO Smith. They also got an up-close look at fire equipment and emergency procedures thanks to Deputy Fire Chief Croft! 🚒

As Coach McLean said, "This experience gave our students a real look at the people and systems that protect our community every day.”

Everyone — from our Jr. Betas to the little ones and adults — had an amazing time celebrating together! 💛🖤

CHS Cross Country: Full Effort, Great Season! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Our Boys and Girls Cross Country teams competed hard at sectionals in Wilcox County on Saturday, November 1, 2025. While none of our incredible runners qualified for state, we want to give massive shoutouts for their dedication! 🖤💛

🌟 A special congratulations to Ben Zamora, who led our team with consistent dedication all season long!

🌟 And a huge high-five to Bryson Stanfield for running his Personal Best (PB) of the season at the sectionals race!

We are so proud of the hard work, commitment, and heart shown by every runner this year! Thank you for a great season, Tigers!

🎶 Shout Out From Miss Grimes:

📚✨ Mrs. Fennell’s 1st Grade Mathematicians! ✨📚

Students in Mrs. Fennell’s class are mastering their addition skills by learning how to make a 10 to solve problems within 20! 🔢💡

These young learners are building strong number sense and showing that math can be both fun and powerful! 💛🐯 #ClaxtonElementary #TigerPride #FirstGradeMath #GrowingGreatMinds

Zoom in. Can you see the older Tigers mixed in among Evans County's youngest ones? Zoom in again. Can you tell these older students love their pathway and sharing it with others? In honor of Fire Prevention Month, Year 1 Firefighting students divided into teams and visited each Pre-K classroom. Firefighting recruits showed these youngsters patience and kindness and introduced them to one of our community helpers--firefighters. Thank you, Chief Croft! #TheDEN #mentoring

CHS Transition Students are on Patrol!

🚨 Our Transition students took a hands-on approach to learning about campus security, emphasizing observation, communication, and safety awareness. After mastering patrol procedures and key vocabulary, they conducted real-time "security patrols," checking doors, identifying hazards, and marking safe areas on their maps. 🧭

The best part? They got to share their findings and ask questions directly to School Resource Officer Ron Smith and CHS assistant principal Randy Cooper! This activity underscored the importance of responsibility, teamwork, and keeping our school safe. Great job, security team! 👍

📊 CMS 6th Graders Visit JA BizTown! 💼
Our 6th graders had an amazing trip to JA BizTown in Savannah at Georgia Southern University! JA BizTown, a program by Junior Achievement, gives students the opportunity to experience the working world firsthand — running businesses, managing finances, and exploring careers in a simulated town setting. 🏦💰

Students put into practice everything they’ve been learning in career class through fun, hands-on activities that taught teamwork, leadership, and financial responsibility. We’re so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm! 🙌✨
