Claxton High School hosted Apply to College Day yesterday. Seniors were provided assistance with the post-secondary application requirements. Some students worked on college applications while others pursued the FAFSA. Thank you to our counselors, Mrs. Channa Robinson, and staff from Talent Search who assisted our students!

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





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

7th graders in Mrs. Brown's science classes have been studying genetics. To practice what they've learned, they had to follow a strict set of directions to draw a "baby." Students had a great time, and they learned how genes are passed from parents to children. #cmstigers #4Cs #projectbasedlearning

CMS 6th graders recently visited JA BizTown at the Georgia Southern University Savannah Campus. JA BizTown combines in-class learning (before the field trip) with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to make connections between what they learn in school and the real world. #cmstigers #projectbasedlearning #4Cs
