Evans County Charter School System

Last week, CHS Ambassadors, Culinary Arts students, and the ECCSS School Nutrition Program served a special Thanksgiving lunch for our ECCSS retired teachers and Evans County BOE members. Special thanks to each person who attended and to all who helped prepare and host! We appreciate all you have poured into the students, staff, and families of ECCSS! #SchoolNutritionProgram #CHS #TheDen

One of Mr. Gay's math students, Jonah, was featured on the IXL Facebook page due to his excellent math work in IXL. Keep up the great work, Jonah! #MathExcellence

Students in Mrs. Amy Robinson’s biology classes have been simulating cellular transport processes in cells. Students soaked the shell off of an egg and soaked the egg in various liquids to see the processes of osmosis and diffusion as they would occur on the cellular level. Students kept accurate data as the lab progressed and collaborated with their group to predict what would occur as they introduced a new liquid to the project.

Students in Ms. Flournoy's class collaborated to design a plan for a turkey trap. This idea was sparked when the class read How to Catch a Turkey. These kindergarten students use the 4Cs, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking when planning their design. The students presented their plans to the class, and each shared what part they contributed to the drawing. Students were actively engaged in this lesson! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

Can you see the geometric shapes? Students in Mrs. Robin Smith's art classes recently studied this type of art and created their very own animals and nature scenes using shapes as the basis of their creations. #TheDen #creativity

Claxton High School hosted Apply to College Day yesterday. Seniors were provided assistance with the post-secondary application requirements.

That's a wrap! Advisement is complete. The counseling department at Claxton High School will use the information gathered in these sessions to meet students' needs and create next year's schedule. #individualizedgraduationplans #collegeandcareerready

Students in Mrs. Cason’s first grade class kicked off Thanksgiving break by making thankful turkeys. Students have been learning about how to have an attitude of gratitude as it ties in with our 7 Mindsets. On their turkeys, they chose four things they were grateful for and wrote them on the feathers. They turned out awesome! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
