The 1st grade program scheduled for this evening has been postponed. The make-up date will be determined and communicated once finalized.
Holiday joy is in the air at CES! We’d love for everyone to join the fun and celebrate each day with our festive dress-up themes!

Our amazing PTO Christmas elves were hard at work this evening, transforming our Hornet Cafe into a festive winter wonderland to surprise our staff and students! We are so grateful for their dedication and for all they do to make our school such a magical place. 🎄

We’re growing more partnerships across grade levels with our Buzz Buddies, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to learn together here at CES! Here are some pictures of Miss Cothern’s 1st graders teaming up with Mrs. Jones’ 4th graders, as well as Miss Hall’s 2nd graders partnering with their Buzz Buddies in Mrs. Montgomery’s 5th grade class.










The CES Student Leadership Team is excited to partner with The Salvation Army for the “Silver Tree Drive,” supporting seniors in our local community. We will gladly accept donations through December 18th.

This little turkey, Stetson Cook, sure knows his ABCs!

CES Goal Getters 🔔




All aboard! Fourth grade took a trip to the Steamboat Arabia Museum, where they learned about life on the American frontier in the mid-19th century and saw many incredible artifacts. A big shout-out to our Chilli MO PTO for their support and to the Mervins Jenkins Foundation for providing these valuable field trip opportunities for our CES students!










We are THANKFUL for our Buzz Buddies in Mrs. Goad's Kindergarten and Mrs. Hawkins’ 3rd grade class!

“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!
Stetson Cook (Mrs. Hansen’s Kindergarten Class)
Stetson is a kind and thoughtful kindergarten student who always looks out for others. He’s the first to offer a helping hand when a classmate needs it, whether helping to clean up or sharing a toy. His caring nature shines through in all of his actions.
Gabe Leeper (Mrs. Howe’s 2nd grade) is so kind and respectful all the time. He has great manners, and always says, "please" and "thank you". He does whatever task I need him to do with a smile on his face. He loves to be a great helper in the classroom to me or other students. If a student makes a mess or spills something, he is the first to jump up and assist that student. Gabe brings so much sunshine to our class!
Myla Ballard is a fourth grader in Mrs. Dodson’s room.
Myla is a ray of sunshine in our room! She is so kind to all of her classmates, teachers, and even people she may not know in the school! She is always willing to help out when I have a sub in my classroom, and encourages other students to do their best. We are so lucky to have her in our classroom!



Now we know our ABCs! Look who punched their ticket for a wagon ride in kindergarten!
