CES 12 Days of Christmas Two Turtle Doves (Twins Day) #CES

Do you have your elevator speech prepared? In other words, do you have a thirty-second way of introducing yourself to others that will make a lasting impression? Students in CTAE classes prepared and practiced theirs this week. The CCA would like to thank Mr. Bill Price, local radio spokesperson, for assisting with this lesson. #TheDEN #collegecareerready

It may not snow often in our part of the world, but we can certainly enjoy the snow in this winter scape painted by Coral Tello and Susanna Figuero. This piece is now on display at the Board of Education. #TheDEN #artmakestheworldbeautiful

CMS celebrated Two Turtle Doves (Twin) Day on Friday!

The Claxton Middle School Baseball Academy was a six week instructional camp for students enrolled in the Evans County Charter School system. The camp started on October 17th with 24 players ranging from the 4th to the 8th grade, which focused on fielding, hitting, base running, throwing, and catching. These young players showed their love for the sport by coming to practice when it was as low as 40 degrees and high 85 degrees outside! It also was a great opportunity for the coaches to work with the future Tigers and we are looking forward to working with even more student-athletes during the summer session. Go Tigers!

CMS STEM classes enjoyed decorating one of the school hallways with a nature theme for the Wildlife Essay Contest! The class incorporated the novel “Hatchet” with their essays to learn more about wildlife and the conservation of habitats. Students have learned about rabbit species in our state, turkey populations, CWD in deer and much more! They finished off the week-long unit with archery tag in the gym, made possible by Georgia Southern University Shooting Sports Education Center. #4Cs #projectbasedlearning #BeABigShot

CES 12 Days of Christmas Tinsel Day - Sparkle or Glitter

Mrs. Strickland and Ms. Christman’s “sparkly” class used their knowledge of shapes to draw Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

Chemistry students mixed and mingled in an iconic compound speed dating activity. They wrote formulas for compounds, identified ratios of cations and anions, and named them.

A Sneak Peek of the Tiger Gingerbread House! To see the finished product, come to the Parade of Lights on Saturday at 6 PM. The parade will begin at the Evans County Public Library. All units will travel east on Highway 280, turn right on Highway 301, and conclude at the intersection of Liberty and Newton Streets (formerly known as the Hodges Shopping Center). #TheDEN #weloveourcommunity

CMS kicked off the 12 Days of Christmas with Glitz and Glam!

8th Grade students in Mrs. Stephens's science classes created their products for the Periodic Party next Tuesday! Students used collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity to plan and create recipes to demonstrate their learning about chemical bonding and the periodic table. Students were also able to redesign or improve their recipes, if they were unsuccessful the first day, as part of the engineering design process. #4Cs #projectbasedlearning
