🌳📚 The 8th grade adventure to Wormsloe Historic State Park was a day to remember!
Our students explored the beautiful oak-lined avenue, learned about Georgia’s colonial history, and enjoyed hands-on experiences that brought their social studies lessons to life. From tabby ruins to trails and exhibits, it was a fantastic blend of learning and fun!
And to top it all off—one lucky student found the perfect souvenir with his name on it (literally!). Talk about a trip highlight! 🛍️✨
A big thank you to our staff and chaperones for making the day such a success. We’re proud of our 8th graders for representing CMS with respect, curiosity, and Tiger pride! 🖤💛

🐾 Our future Claxton Middle School Tigers are on the move!
This week, Claxton Elementary School (CES) 5th graders visited Claxton Middle School (CMS) for their 6th grade orientation, and it was a fantastic day! 🚌✨
Students spent time with each of the 6th grade teachers and our admin team: Mrs. Snyder, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Johnson-Bryant! Our CMS counselor, Mrs. Mincey, joined in on the orientation fun to help acclimate our newest Tigers to CMS! These "rising" 6th graders also toured the school, asked great questions, received some CMS welcome swag, and got a sneak peek at what middle school life is all about. 💬📚
Huge thanks to our visiting 5th graders, CMS, our 6th grade team, and to CES staff for working together to make this orientation a success!
We’re so proud of these rising 6th graders and can’t wait to welcome them officially to CMS on August 1! 🖤💛

📚✨ A Special Visit from the Library! ✨📚
We were thrilled to welcome Mrs. Sabrina Wright, Manager of the Evans County Public Library, to Claxton Elementary School! Mrs. Wright visited our students to share a special read-aloud and led them in a fun, hands-on craft—all while sharing exciting news about the library’s 2025 Summer Reading Program. 🎨📖
This year’s theme is "Color Our World," and the library has a fantastic lineup of weekly performers every Thursday at 4:00 PM at the Claxton Veterans Community Center:
🎶 May 29 – Kitty Kapow: Musical Extravaganza
🪄 June 5 – Chad Crews: Magical Reading Experience
🎭 June 12 – The Doc Magic Fun Time Variety Show
🎨 June 26 – The Great Jeffini: “Paint Your Story” Magic Show
📘 July 3 – Meet Amelia Bedelia!
These free, family-friendly events are the perfect way to keep kids engaged in reading and creativity all summer long. The library will close at 3:00 PM on performance days but books can still be returned or picked up if staff are notified.
🌟 We encourage all families to take time this summer to visit the Evans County Public Library and enjoy everything they have to offer—from storytime and crafts to interactive performances and reading incentives.
Thank you, Mrs. Wright, for being a true reading ambassador! 💛

🚌🌿 AR All-Stars Go Wild! 🌿🚌
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to our 2nd–5th grade students who achieved a major milestone—meeting ALL 4 quarterly AR goals this school year! 📚✨
To celebrate their year-long dedication to reading, these superstar students were rewarded with an unforgettable trip to the Wild Georgia Safari Park in Metter, GA! 🦓🐪🐃
Students enjoyed a wild safari ride, getting up close with incredible animals like camels, zebras, longhorns, and buffalo. They also explored a hands-on petting zoo featuring goats, sheep, llamas, and emus, played on the playground, and topped off the day with a ride on the carousel! 🎠🐐🎉
We are so proud of the hard work these students have shown all year long. Keep it up, readers—there are even more fun rewards in store next year!

Today, our second graders released the butterflies they have lovingly observed through every stage of the life cycle—from tiny eggs to curious caterpillars, from quiet chrysalises to fluttering wings. As part of their study of animal life cycles (Georgia Standards of Excellence S2L1), students have been learning to ask questions and investigate the wonders of metamorphosis. But today’s release was about much more than science—it was a celebration of growth, courage, and the beauty of change.
When the butterflies took flight, the children’s words rose with them—gentle, wise, and unexpectedly profound:
"You don't have to be scared, butterfly. There are other butterflies out there."
"You can do this!"
"Don't worry, butterfly. I have your hand."
"You will be okay. You can fly real high—higher than a bird!"
"You have so much waiting for you."
"You can go away. Your family will still be here."
"You will make more friends that you don't even know."
These words echo far beyond the butterfly experience. They are words for our fifth graders moving up to middle school, our eighth graders flying on to high school, and especially our graduating seniors who are about to soar into the world.
Like the butterflies, they may be nervous. But they are ready. And their school family will always be here cheering them on.
Today, we didn’t just release butterflies—we celebrated transformation, courage, and the belief that there is something wonderful waiting on the other side of change. 🎥Click the link for butterfly release videos https://youtu.be/6bNByX8BB64
🎉📚 Celebrating Success – We Brought the Theater to Them! 📚🎉
We are SO proud of our 2nd–5th grade students who met their 4th Nine Weeks AR goals! To celebrate their hard work and dedication to reading, we brought the theater experience right to them—complete with a giant screen (courtesy of the amazing Claxton First Church), fresh popcorn, and a refreshing drink! 🎬🍿🥤
Our students enjoyed a fun movie day as a reward for their achievement, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of our wonderful community. Thank you, Claxton First Church, for helping make this day extra special!
To our students: Keep up the great work and don’t forget to keep reading over the summer. We are so proud of you! 🌞📖
