Chillicothe Elementary - Home of the Hornets

Meet us at the Farmer's Market!

CES is thrilled to host Pathways to Reading training again this summer! Educators from CES and surrounding districts are spending three days diving into the Science of Reading.

A huge thank you to our incredible trainer, Jill Littlejohn! Jill is an elementary educator in the Blue Springs School District and a past Teacher of the Year. We are incredibly lucky to learn from her expertise as she equips teachers to effectively assess and support K-2 beginners and upper-grade striving readers.

Welcome to CES, Mrs. Sara Samenus!!

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 keepsake and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES! Graysin Wilkinson (Mrs. Wolf’s 1st Grade) I would like to nominate Graysin for the Sunshine Chair. He has started bringing positivity to our group each day. He greets me with a hug and is especially thoughtful in offering extra encouragement when he senses I may be having a difficult day. In addition, he has been working hard to motivate and support his friends, encouraging them to put forth their best effort during their I-Ready testing. His kindness, empathy, and leadership make a meaningful impact on those around him. Madi May (Mrs. Taylor’s 5th Grade) Madi is a quiet leader and good friend to all. She is kind to classmates daily. You rock Madi! Amelia May (Mrs. Jones’ 5th Grade) Amelia is a very kind girl who is always encouraging others and brightening everyone’s day with her smile. She is a good friend to all and we are so happy to have her at CES! Hayden Horsman (Mrs. Davis’ 5th Grade) Hayden is kind to everyone at CES. She is a great example of a good student and friend. Hayden always does her best. She always has a smile on her face and spreads positivity and cheer at CES. We are so thankful for Hayden! Gage Burnett (Mrs. Gilliland’s 5th Grade) Gage is a kind and good friend at CES. He sets his mind on something and tries hard to achieve it. He always has a smile and a kind word; a “good morning,” “good afternoon,” or “have a great day” for peers and adults. We are so glad to have Gage at CES! Piper Reeder (Mrs. Jones’ 5th Grade) Piper is kind all the time. She encourages her classmates and always has a smile on her face. Piper’s good qualities do not go unrecognized at CES. She is a ray of sunshine and we love Piper Reeder. Keep being great Piper!
