On Thursday, December 15, 2022, Claxton Middle School hosted a Character Night at the CMS boys' and girls' basketball games. Each teacher chose one student who exemplifies hard work and a positive attitude, regardless of the task at hand. The students were invited to a party during the day where they played games and had hot chocolate and snacks, and then they were presented a certificate during half-time of the boys' game that evening. We are very proud of these students and the great character that they show at school everyday!

CMS is dreaming of Christmas Break...Pajama Day!

Evans County Charter School System appreciates the partnership that they have with Georgia Southern University! In November, Dr. Kania A. Greer (Coordinator of Center for STEM Education), Chestina Craig (GSU Biology Grad Student), and Michael Brenne (GSU Biology Grad Student) provided professional learning identifying characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates. They demonstrated how to dissect various specimens and classify them. The following educators participated in the professional learning and dissected specimens: Nick Hodgson (CHS), DeeDee Gordon (CHS), Amy Robinson (CHS), Casey Rogers (CES), Kelly LaSala (CES), Jennifer Lewis (CES), Aiyana Pearson (CES), and Samantha Keyfauver (ECCSS) Mrs. LaSala shared her knowledge with fifth graders.

Mrs. Yurek's eighth-grade students worked in groups to perform a "Character Autopsy" of characters from the novel, A Long Walk to Water. Students made character evaluations based on their different abilities as they related to certain parts of the body. For example, for the "brain," one student reflected on the difficulty the character experienced due to his worrying thoughts about his family. #activelearning #creativity
