Today, the Hornet Hive Spirit Shop was open for fans at CES! Our students had a great time selecting spirit keychains created by the Better You Club at CMS. We’re so thankful for the club’s creativity and effort, as well as for PTO member Shannon Mason, who helped facilitate our Hornet Hive at CES.
Our CES Counselors received a generous $500 donation from the Chillicothe Elks Lodge #656!
This thoughtful gift will help support students in need. A special thank-you to Elks member Margie Albertson, pictured with our elementary counselors Mrs. Young, Mrs. Yuille, and Mrs. Leamer.
"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!
Adalyn Hardman (Miss Book’s 1st grade class)
Adalyn shows kindness to everyone around her. She has the biggest heart and always makes others feel included. I see her daily using kind words and going out of her way to be a friend to anyone who needs it. Keep shining bright Adalyn!
Staley Lowrey (Mrs. Hawkins’ 3rd Grade Class)
Staley always has a smile a mile wide. She is kind and helpful to others, adults and peers alike. Staley includes others in activities in the classroom and on the playground. She plays with younger children after school and is a wonderful example and role model for others. She is a ray of SUNSHINE inside and out!
Zasphyr Bagley (Mrs. Beck’s 4th Grade Class)
Zasphyr is a friend to everyone in our class. He works hard and tries his best to be a great partner and group member every chance he gets. Zasphyr even points out others who are being kind and helpful. Zasphyr is a great friend, and we love him for it!

United We Stand.” This phrase has long served as a rallying cry in American history - from the founding of the nation, through time of war, civil rights struggles, natural disasters, and national healing. It symbolizes strength through togetherness, the belief that a diverse group of people can come together to uphold liberty, justice and democracy. This project was created to purchase a library-binded classroom set (25) of the book For Which We Stand: How Our Government Works and Why It Matters by Jeff Foster that reflects these values in both historical and modern contexts. The selected books will support academic goals in both 4th Grade Reading and 4th Grade Social Studies while also encouraging civic awareness, empathy, and teamwork. These skills are essential for both personal growth and active citizenship
Our 1st graders explored the five senses in a spooky way over the past two days! Students used their sense of touch to feel three mystery items and made hypotheses about what each one could be—based only on what they felt. It was hands-on, spine-tingling fun!
