Claxton Elementary School recently sponsored a canned food drive to benefit the Evans County Food Bank. This service project aligned with the current mindset, "Live to Give". Students and staff donated to the cause and over 350 items were collected!
Grade levels competed against one another to encourage the donation efforts. The following homeroom classes were recognized as collecting the most items in the grade level. They were rewarded with a extra-special recess. Kindergarten - Ms. Hendrix
1st - Mrs. Whitfield
2nd - Mrs. Hollingsworth
3rd - Mrs. Laird
4th - Ms. Mikell
5th - Mrs. LaSala
Mrs. Cowart's PreK class was the school-wide winner! They donated the most items overall.
In the spirit of giving, CES hopes that our donations will make a difference for others in our community.
Mrs. Cowart, Ms. Miyon and Mrs. Penny's class worked on fine motor skills and enjoyed a delicious Christmas cookie. Students had to spread their icing with a spoon and then they were allowed to pick Elf sparkles, Christmas magic dust or Rudolph's red sugar, to make it sparkle. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

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
CMS students in 7th grade math used digital technology and the 4C's to create posters of inequality keywords to help decipher word problems. #4Cs
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!
Special Olympic athletes from CMS , CHS, and Evans County Hall of Famers demonstrated their skills in the first Fall Games since 2019!
CHS SOGA volunteers gave their time to facilitate bocce and basketball skill stations and cheer on the athletes!

Festival of Lights Day at CMS...
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.
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.
The drawing will take place on January 13, 2023 at CMS, and you do not have to be present to win.
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.
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!
