🌸🐣 Ms. Amari & Ms. Nicky’s Class 🪴🌼
What a fun and busy week in our classroom! We spent the week learning all about Easter and planting 🌱
To wrap up our learning, students enjoyed:
🥚 Dyeing colorful Easter eggs
🌼 Planting beautiful Zinnia flowers
Our little learners had so much fun getting their hands messy, exploring, and learning through hands-on activities!
A very special THANK YOU to Mr. Allen for joining us this week. We appreciate you taking the time to teach and help our students plant their flowers 🌿💚
We can’t wait to watch our flowers grow!

Students in Mrs. Myers’s ELA class had an incredible opportunity to connect learning to real-world impact as they met with Sheetal Pandey, Fundraising and Outreach Coordinator for waterforsouthsudan.org 💧
This organization was founded by Salva Dut—the inspiring figure behind A Long Walk to Water—a story our students have been examining as they learn to interpret argumentative and narrative writing techniques. As they explored Salva and Nya’s journeys, students examined the global issue of access to clean water and debated who should be responsible for ensuring this basic human right.
Hearing directly from someone working on the front lines of this mission brought their learning to life. Students asked thoughtful questions, made meaningful connections, and left inspired to think critically and compassionately about their role in the world.
Experiences like this remind us that learning goes far beyond the classroom. 🌍 As students finish exploring the Iron Giraffe Challenge, they may soon be asking for your support as they discover how they, too, can make a difference.

Students in Claxton High School’s Year 1 Culinary Class dyed eggs that will be served to students during lunch today. As part of this hands-on learning experience, students followed proper food safety guidelines and safe food handling procedures. They also learned the correct techniques for dyeing eggs in a clean and controlled environment.
Beyond the technical skills, this activity helped students understand the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and supporting their school community. By assisting with this task, they provided valuable help to the CMS-CHS cafeteria staff, allowing operations to run more efficiently while giving students a meaningful opportunity to contribute.

🌱 Real-World Lessons in the Garden: Watch Your Step! 🚜
In Mr. Turner’s Horticulture class, we know that the best learning happens outside the four walls of a classroom. Recently, our students were busy spreading seed to get the campus ready for spring—but they picked up a very important lesson in physics along the way!
The takeaway: When you’re operating a spreader, you have to keep your eyes on the ground. One hidden hole or a bit of uneven turf is all it takes to flip your equipment and send your seed flying! Don't worry! The seeds were salvaged after the mishap.
Ag education is all about trial, error, and adjustment. Our Tigers dusted themselves off, leveled out their path, and got back to work. Experience is the best teacher! 🐯🖤💛

Happy National School Librarian Day!
Today, we celebrate three incredible educators who help spark curiosity, inspire a love of reading, and support student success every single day.
Kayleigh Hunter – Claxton Elementary
Ginger Durrence – Claxton Middle
Layne Peacock – Claxton High
Our school librarians do so much more than manage books. They are responsible for posting many of the Facebook posts you enjoy each day. They solve Chromebook issues, post announcements to be displayed throughout the school, assist teachers with solving technical issues, and so much more!
Thank you, Kayleigh, Ginger, and Layne, for the countless ways you support our students, teachers, and schools. Your impact reaches far beyond the library walls!

The Evans County School System is beginning a soft launch as we transition from KiNVO to ParentSquare.
During this initial phase, ParentSquare will be used for:
*Urgent alerts across the district
*Attendance notifications at Claxton High School
*Communication from teachers for summer school activities
We will fully implement ParentSquare for the 2026–2027 school year.
At that time, families will be able to:
*Communicate easily with teachers
*Receive important district and school updates
*Customize how and when you receive messages
*View all of your students in one account
You can access everything from your phone, computer, or the free app.
In the coming days, you will receive a text message with instructions on how to verify your account.
We’re excited about this transition and look forward to building stronger connections and improving communication across our school community.

⚖️ Order in the Court: Coach Lanier’s Class Takes on the Supreme Court! 🏛️
What happens when a peaceful protest turns chaotic, and a student is suspended without a chance to tell her side of the story? That was the high-stakes scenario facing Coach Lanier’s students recently!
After studying Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Due Process, our Tigers put their knowledge to the test using an interactive iCivics court simulation. The case centered on a student’s right to a fair process and whether her school overstepped when they suspended her for carrying a protest sign.
The Courtroom Roles:
The Defense: Arguing for the school’s right to maintain order.
The Plaintiff: Fighting for the student's right to due process and free speech.
The Supreme Court Justices: Reviewing the arguments and making the final ruling.
This simulation was a powerful way to bridge the gap between our current unit and the Judicial Branch, showing exactly how the Supreme Court functions as an appellate court. Our students did an incredible job researching their positions and preparing for "heated" counter-arguments! 🐯🖤💛
