📚✨ Building Community in Mrs. Myers’ ELA Class! ✨📚
Claxton Middle School students in Mrs. Myers’ 6th grade ELA classroom are off to a fantastic start as they focus on building a strong and supportive classroom community! 💬🧠🤝
Through engaging activities, thoughtful discussions, and team-building exercises, students are learning the importance of trust, respect, and collaboration. These young scholars are not just preparing for a year of academic growth—they’re also creating a positive space where every voice is valued and everyone belongs. 💛📖
Here’s to a great year of learning, connection, and success in ELA! 👏🌟 #ClaxtonMiddle #CMSstrong #ELAcommunity #BackToSchool2025
The students in Mrs. Kelly’s kindergarten class came hungry for learning on their very first day — and they didn’t disappoint! 🎉 They spent the day learning classroom rules and routines, listening to engaging stories 📚, exploring hands-on math tools ➕➖, and enjoying a very hot afternoon making memories on the playground with old and new friends ☀️🛝
It was a fantastic start to what’s sure to be an exciting year! #FirstDayOfKindergarten #ClaxtonElementary

Launching the Year with Mission: Possible
Our amazing Claxton Middle School teachers are geared up, locked in, and ready to make the 2025–2026 school year one to remember! With purpose and passion, our staff is embracing this year’s theme — Mission: Possible — and leading the charge to build a positive, engaging, and respectful learning environment.
At the heart of our work is The Claxton Tiger Way, a commitment to:
✅ High expectations
✅ Consistent accountability
✅ Positive relationships
✅ ROAR-ing behavior
Every hallway, classroom, and connection at CMS is guided by our core expectations:
🖤 R – Respect Yourself and Others
💛 O – Own Your Actions
🖤 A – Act Safely
💛 R – Ready to Engage
Our teachers are not only ready to teach — they’re ready to lead by example, inspire excellence, and ensure every student believes that success is possible.
Let’s make this mission count. CMS teachers are on board and ready to ROAR in Black & Gold all year long! 🐯🚀

We kicked off the first week of school by reading "First Day Jitters" — a story that helped us talk about those nervous butterflies we all feel on day one! 🦋
After sharing our thoughts and writing about our feelings, we sipped on some magical Jitter Juice 🧃 to wash those jitters away and welcome a fantastic new year! 💛✏️
Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, and growing together! 🍎📖 #FirstDayJitters #ClaxtonElementary
Mission: Possible – Claxton Middle School’s First Day! 🐾🎓

From day one, our Tigers are learning the routines, procedures, and schedules that will pave the way for a strong academic year. At CMS, our expectations are grounded in the values of ROAR:
🖤 R – Respect Yourself and Others
💛 O – Own Your Actions
🖤 A – Act Safely
💛 R – Ready to Engage
Our halls are already filled with students and staff modeling ROAR behaviors, setting the stage for a year of excellence.
Welcome back, Tigers — your mission begins now, and we’re ready to ROAR all year long!💪🐯
