CES sent a group of teachers and support staff to the Ron Clark Academy (RCA) Experience this week! This professional learning experience is designed to help participants learn skills and teaching strategies that can "ignite a passion for learning, provide meaningful support, encourage academic excellence, foster authentic relationships, and ensure a climate and culture where all students and staff thrive." All of these goals of the RCA Experience are connected deeply to CES's School Improvement Plan (SIP). Our CES attendees, Tasha Grantham, Jill Brown, Shannon Weekley, Jennifer Lewis, Taylor Miller, and Kandace Eason, are on FIRE with excitement and ready to share all they learned at RCA with our CES students and staff! #StaffEngagement #StudentEngagement #LifelongLearners #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily #CES

Announcements from your local 4-H office...

Ms McElveen's, Ms Keta's, and Mrs Michelle’s class cooked a wonderful spread for our CHS Custodian Appreciation Day on October 7. We love our custodians!

Thank you to Mrs. Robin Smith and her art students for creating our festive fall display! #TheDen #communityfun

Humans in The Den “We came in early that morning. We prepared a lot of food. I was helping to make sure everything got out there properly. We made sure that we had enough for everybody. When the food was eaten, we replaced it. I was plating quiches on the serving tray. After everyone left, we cleared off the tables, and we took everything back to the Culinary Arts room.” Senior chef in training, Tybresha Williams, helped prepare food and serve the community at the Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony held in September. The following week, she assisted with the preparation of the reception food that was served at the Business After Hours hosted by the Board of Education. Because of her work schedule, she was unable to serve at this event, but as soon as she arrived at school the next day, she excitedly inquired about the reception. When teased about all of the dishes left behind, she responded with a smile, “That’s okay! I’ll wash them next period.” Tybresha Williams “leads with value”. She gives her time and shares her talents without expecting anything in return. The best part is that she does these things while displaying a beautiful attitude. *Interview as given to Holly Durrence and Candice Kirby #7Mindsets #WeAreConnected

It was a great day to be a tiger! 180 students who had perfect attendance, good behavior, and no missing assignments for the month of September were invited to play games outside and treated to a snowcone supplied by Wavee Shavee. Students who had missing assignments were allowed to work on the assignments during this time.

CHS celebrated our hardworking custodians today with a brunch hosted by Ms McElveen’s class. We love our custodians and appreciate all of their hard work!!

CHS seniors Tayshaun Haley, & Austin Deloach, along with WBL Coordinator Channa Robinson, volunteered with Evans County Feed the Hungry to help distribute food at the Evans County Community Center. Community Leaders Liz Porter and Narus Mincey are also picured.

Check out our CES 3rd graders sharing their learning from our social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, 7 Mindsets! These students from Mrs. Shepherd's and Ms. Rush's classes are learning more about how to be 100% accountable, and they reflected on some of the progress they've made this morning! #7Mindsets #SocialEmotionalLearning #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily #CES
