🌲✨ Magic in the Forest: A Night to Remember! ✨🌲
Claxton High School juniors and seniors and their dates celebrated Prom at the beautiful Dutch Ford Farm in Metter on Saturday, April 4. Under the theme "Enchanted Forest," our students kicked off Spring Break in style!
The evening was a true community effort. Guests enjoyed a delicious spread of refreshments prepared by our very own CHS Culinary Arts students, led by the talented Mrs. Cindy Hart. The venue was truly transformed into a magical woodland escape thanks to the incredible eye for detail of Mr. Maurice Burney.
👑 2026 Prom Royalty 👑
The highlight of the night was the crowning of our court! Please join us in congratulating:
Prom Queen: Makenzy Bacon
Prom King: Ezra Davis
Prom Princess: Jakyla Williams

🚗💨 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 💚
Huge thanks to Texas Roadhouse for welcoming our year two Culinary Arts students today!
We are especially grateful to Restauranteur Maurice Jackson and Store Marketer Tara Blankenship for creating such an authentic, hands-on experience. Our students rolled up their sleeves and got to work—making those famous Texas Roadhouse dinner rolls from scratch and preparing their own lunch of crispy chicken fingers and fries.
To top it all off, each student left with a bag of fresh rolls to share with their family.
Experiences like this bring learning to life and help our students sharpen their skills as they prepare for their upcoming End of Pathway Assessment. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse, for investing in our students and giving them a true taste of the restaurant world!

🤖 Mission Impossible? Not for the CMS Tigers! 🐯🏆
We are beaming with pride over here at Claxton Middle School! 🐯💛
On Wednesday, April 15th, 12 CMS students and Mrs. Stephanie Myers traveled to Mercer University in Macon, GA, to compete in their first-ever FIRA USA Robotics Competition. FIRA is an international robotics competition held in countries around the world, and this year's challenge was Category: Mission Impossible. Students received one challenge in the morning and another challenge in the afternoon, and had 1 1/2 hours to prepare before competing.
Claxton Middle School sent three teams, and every one of them brought home hardware. 🏆
🐐 VEX GOATs
Carter Perrin, Beau Blizzard, Jayson Saylor & Samuel Fleurmont
🥇 1st Place – Mission Impossible: Hardware
💻 VEX Team
Christopher Dominguez, Zachery Valentine, DJ Mikell & Cade Tucker
🥇 1st Place – Mission Impossible: Software
🥉 3rd Place – Mission Impossible: Hardware
🤖 CMS Robotics Team
Matthew Griffin, Luz Cruz, Brystol Rhiner & Ava Williams
🥈 2nd Place – Mission Impossible: Hardware
🥉 3rd Place – Mission Impossible: Software
That's 5 awards total — at their very first competition!
Not only that, but the Deans and Professors at Mercer were so impressed with our students' professionalism and collaboration that they were invited to eat lunch in the Mercer University Dining Hall. (We hear they thoroughly enjoyed it! 😄) Our Tigers were also specifically praised for how well they worked together; they truly mastered the art of collaboration.
And the best news of all? The CMS Robotics Team may have the opportunity to compete at the FIRA RoboWorld Cup and Summit 2026 in Markham, Ontario, Canada, in July 2026! 🇨🇦🤖
These students made the impossible… possible. 🚀
Stay tuned — this is just the beginning for the CMS Robotics Team. 🐯🔧

📚🍕📐 Learning fractions has never been so delicious! Ms. Tanner and Mrs. Garcia’s 3rd grade math students recently became pizza restaurant owners for the day. Each student filled a custom pizza order—like ¼ cheese, ¼ black olives, ¼ pepperoni, and ¼ green peppers—using hands‑on fraction models. This fun, real‑world activity helped students truly understand fractions while having a blast!
🦆 New Five-Star Accommodations at the PFA: Ag Mechanics Builds Duck Boxes! 🪵
Our Ag Mechanics students are officially helping the local wildlife move into some prime real estate! The class completed and personally installed custom-built duck boxes at the Evans County Public Fishing Area (PFA).
The students had the privilege of working alongside Caleb Mills, a Wildlife Technician at the PFA, to learn exactly where and how these boxes should be placed to best support local nesting waterfowl. This project was the perfect blend of classroom skill and environmental stewardship.
What the Tigers Accomplished:
Precision Woodworking: Building durable, weather-resistant duck boxes designed for the elements.
Wood Preservation: Applying techniques to ensure the structures last for many seasons to come.
Field Installation: Getting hands-on experience in the habitat, ensuring the boxes were securely and correctly positioned.
Seeing their hard work move from the shop to the water was a proud moment for these students. A huge Thank You to Caleb Mills and the Evans County PFA team for letting our Tigers play a part in local conservation! 🐯🖤💛
