Please help ECCSS celebrate our awesome CMS Band. They performed their Christmas Concert Tuesday evening. In addition to sharing awesome selections, different members of our CMS Band introduced themselves, the selections, and shared a little bit about what they have learned before each song was performed. We loved seeing our musicians shine!
CES 12 Days of Christmas
Santa Hat Day
Our athletes had a fantastic time bowling at The Clubhouse in Statesboro for the Fall Special Olympics 2022. We have the BEST athletes at Claxton High School and Claxton Middle School!
Ms. Ikner's 6th grade ELA students participated in a student-led discussion based on the Harkness method. Each student posed a question and an answer in the discussion as it related to the three texts that were read. Students discussed the topics that presented in each of the articles and attempted to find the connection in them. #activelearning #studentleddiscussion
CHS students enjoyed the Winter Wonderland Dance that was held in the CMS/CHS cafeteria on Saturday, December 10. It was a semi-formal event and there was lots of dancing and memories made. Thank you to all who helped make it a success.
Congratulations to Ermelinda Torres-Rodriquez, a student from The Academy, who completed her last high school class for graduation in May. She will start dual enrollment in January through OTC.

On 12/8, Mr. Gay's High School High Tech students took a tour of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) campus. Our students were able to tour many of the classrooms because the SCAD was already on Winter Break. The most exciting part of the tour was the interactive SCAD Story that showcased many of the talents of past students. The students were surprised to see that college doesn't always just consist of book work. Students saw that many careers require more hands-on training as opposed to the traditional learning experiences.
The CMS Baseball is selling raffle tickets from now through January 12 for a Blackstone Grill.
Tickets may be purchased from Coach McLean, Mrs. Amber Sapp, the CMS/CHS office, concession stands during home basketball games, middle school baseball players, Tiger Management members, and your local Ace Hardware Store in Claxton.

Thanks for your support!
Each middle school teacher will select one student who exemplifies high personal character. These students will be invited to attend the middle school game free of charge and will be recognized during half time of the boys game.
Monday calls for reindeer games at CMS!
Students in Mrs. Nicoli's art classes are using technology to "travel around the world" and learn about different countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Their research includes what type of food, art, dances, and costumes one might see in different countries during the Christmas season. Students are also comparing those traditions to our American traditions. #4Cs
Just a reminder...CMS and CHS will hold their annual Christmas Concert for band and chorus students on December 13th, at 5:30 p.m., in the CHS gym. Please join us and support our students as they display their hard work and talent!
Kindergarten students read the book, Balloons Over Broadway, by Melissa Sweet. It is the true story of the puppeteer of Macy's Day Parade. Students designed balloons to be a part of their own parade. They identified characters in books to illustrate and describe. After taping their creations to a balloon, they drove it down their parade route using Dash the robot. Students in Mrs. Lyons' class did an excellent job using digital technology to communicate their learning! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

Did you know that Macy’s Parade balloons start with a pencil sketch? Aerodynamic and engineering consultants then use math calculations to make sure that the balloon will fly properly. Prototypes are made out of clay and painted before the actual balloon is cut out of fabric. Each balloon is tested for flight and revisions to the design are made. This engineering design process can take up to a year before the actual parade day arrives.
Kindergarteners went through some of the same thought processes as they prepared for their parade. There was even a practice run prior to parade day! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
