✨ Learning. Connecting. Leading Forward. ✨
Evans County Schools proudly sent a team to the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC). Teachers CJ Lanier, Jana Tanner, and Phillip Sapp, along with Instructional Technology Coordinator Samantha Keyfauver spent time learning from national leaders, exploring innovative instructional technology, and networking with educators from surrounding counties and across the United States.
Their time at FETC wasn’t just about attending sessions. It was about bringing fresh ideas, proven strategies, and new connections back to our district. Throughout the year, they will share what they learned with colleagues and lead Tech Day sessions, where teachers can sign up to learn practical, classroom-ready ways to integrate technology and enhance student learning.
This kind of professional learning ensures that Evans County Schools continues to grow, innovate, and empower educators to transform teaching for all students. 🚀📚💡

🎓💼 Learning Beyond the Classroom 💼🎓
CMS 7th grade students recently visited Georgia Southern University in Savannah to participate in JA Finance Park. During the visit, students engaged in hands-on activities that helped them learn about budgeting, saving, and making smart financial decisions.
The trip also gave students the opportunity to experience a college campus and explore future educational pathways. It was a great day of learning, exploration, and real-world connections!

Great Work, Mr. Hendrix! 🔧🌟
Shoutout to Mr. Hendrix and all the Ag Mechanics students in Mr. Turner's class! They recently wrapped up Fall Semester by sharing what they learned through their Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) projects.
Why we value SAEs at CHS: An SAE is a powerful tool for our students. It allows them to apply classroom lessons in real-world settings while developing their personal passions. By participating, students: ✅ Explore and refine career choices. ✅ Meet real-world career expectations. ✅ Develop specific skills for the agricultural industry. ✅ Build on their individual talents and strengths.
We love seeing our students take charge of their own learning! 🖤💛

Macon Mayhem Madness with Claxton FFA! 🏒🥅
On Friday, December 19, 2025 some of our Claxton FFA chapter members headed to the Macon Coliseum for a high-energy FFA Night!
The atmosphere was electric as the Macon Mayhem took to the ice. After a tough first period, the Mayhem showed incredible resilience, rallying back to secure a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory over the Quad City Storm! ⛸️🔥
It was a night full of intense moments and a great reminder of what teamwork and persistence can achieve. Our students had a fantastic time representing The DEN and CHS in Macon!

❄️ Snowy Fun in Kindergarten! ❄️
While staying with Mrs. Jennifer Kelly’s Kindergarten class during enrichment time due to Beacon testing, students still had a blast! They enjoyed playing in “snow” made from shaving cream, writing letters, and drawing pictures. Lots of laughter, learning, and sharing with friends made it a fun and memorable experience! 😊✏️
