On Oct. 16, Chilli MO PTO and Title I hosted a fantastic Fall Family Night for our Hornet families!

Nearly 325 attended — thank you to the Chillicothe MO PTO, President Mary Cady, and all our amazing volunteers for making it happen! ❤️

A quick reminder that all Fundraiser U orders are due by Monday, October 20.

Let's celebrate our heroes on Wednesday!

Our mini dancers shined at tonight’s football halftime show! 🌟 A huge thank-you to Mrs. Graupman and the CHS Dance Team for hosting and helping make it such a fun and memorable performance!

It’s always a joy to share good news with our CES families! 🎉 Today, one student from each elementary classroom—37 in total—was selected to call home in recognition of their hard work, growth, or leadership. The smiles on their faces as they shared the news with moms, dads, grandparents, and more were truly priceless! ❤️

Goal Getters are back at CES!!!

"Let Your Kind Shine” Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES! Vessimer Bagley (Mrs. Hansen’s Kindergarten Class) Vessemir beams with kindness. He is always thinking of others and ready to help. Our classroom shines bright with Vessemir! Whitlee Winder (Mrs. Daugherty’s 2nd Grade Class) She is always willing to help others, use kind words, reminds others to be kind, and a very hard worker. I love her smile and her positive attitude always. Great Job Whitlee!!! Ellis Schmidt (Mrs. Davis’ 5th grade) Ellie is kind, polite and thoughtful towards staff and students everyday, but there was one day last week when she brought tears to my eyes because of her compassion and care of a student. Ellie read to, sang with, and spent an exceptional amount of time caring for a student who is younger than her. Ellie went beyond any level of expectation of kindness and truly blew me away. I've always known she was kind, and I've seen her kindness towards my own little Hornet, but this experience described above was above and beyond exceptional.

Book Fair at CES!

The 3rd grade team at CES would like to shout out a huge thank you to, Dennis and Sherry Savage, (Jack Savage’s grandparents). They so gracious donated $500.00 for anything we needed in 3rd grade. The team decided on purchasing a colored printer and 20 new books for our mentor texts. We are beyond blessed for these gifts.

Perfect Penmanship Awards were awarded this week to Raelyn in 1st grade and Syrus in. 4th grade. ✍️
