Pirates vs. Mermaids Day! Tomorrow is BEACH Day 🌴
🍂 Fall Family Fun Night at CES!
Hosted by PTO & Title I
Thursday, October 16th
Join us for an evening of fun for the whole family! Enjoy the Book Fair, an exciting Mad Scientist show, and many other activities you won’t want to miss.
“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! Ramzi Clayton (Mrs. Heckman’s Kindergarten Class) Ramzi goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone he loves is taken care of. If he sees a friend hurt he checks on them and helps them to feel better with many hugs. When he sees someone who accidentally made a mess he is the first to go help clean it up. His kindness and joyfulness makes our classroom the best place to be at CES! Brynlea Rainey (Mrs. Schneider’s 3rd Grade Class) Brynlea has the biggest heart! I daily see her helping others and encouraging her classmates. She works so hard to always be a great leader in our classroom and school. She will often help others without being asked, give another student a boost of confidence with kind words and has a gift of seeing those who are sad or hurting (without them saying a word). Keep SHINING, Brynlea Kay!! Deveinia Alexander (Mrs. Thompson’s 4th Grade Class) Deveonia shines bright every day, arriving with a happy heart and a big smile. She’s always ready to jump into any task with positive energy. Best of all, she spreads sunshine by helping classmates and sharing her cheerful smile with everyone.

🚜⚠️ Farm Safety
Our 4th grade CES students visited the Litton Campus this week to participate in interactive learning stations focused on farm safety. They gained valuable lessons on water safety, grain bin safety, poison awareness, and several other important topics.
A big thank you to all the educators, volunteers, and guest speakers who made this event possible—and a special thanks to coordinator Cathy Ripley from the Livingston County Health Center for arranging this valuable experience! 👏
As a reminder, September is National Farm Safety and Health Month—a great time to reinforce these important safety practices at home and in our community.
We were delighted to have our education partners join us for lunch today. What a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with so many supportive community businesses!
✨ Our 3rd Grade Postal Pal Program is officially underway! ✨ Today, our volunteer pals met with students for a special face-to-face introduction before beginning their letter exchanges throughout the 2025–26 school year. We’re excited to see the friendships, learning, and connections that will grow through this wonderful program! 💌📬
Student Leadership Team Elections coming soon!
