Missouri Day is celebrated on the third Wednesday of October to honor the state’s history and contributions. Our 3rd graders at CES marked the occasion with games, historical and geographical lessons, and even decorated Missouri-shaped cookies with major rivers and cities. A big thank you to our 3rd grade teachers for making this annual event an engaging and fun day for our students!








This amazing trio earned a ride in the ABC Wagon! These kindergartners aced their letter and sound tests, knowing every single one!


Thank you for the sweet treats Missouri Retired Teachers Association!

(all recipients for this week are not pictured)








“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!
Nevaeh Anderson (Mrs. Bonderer’s 1st Grade)
Nevaeh is very empathetic and encourages classmates when they are feeling down. She offered to walk with a sad friend to breakfast and told her everything was going to be okay. She gave a big hug to another friend who had lost a family member over the weekend.
Jake Romesburg (Ms. Myers’ 2nd Grade)
Jake is a great friend to everyone in and outside of our classroom. He is quick to help out when needed. Jake also shows responsibility and is a hard working student. Thank you, Jake, for doing your best even when you may not want to!
Tennyson Bevelle (Mrs. Montgomery & Mrs. Taylor’s 5th Grade)
Tennyson often helps other students get to where they need to be, helps them gather supplies, lets others have turns in class and uses kind words with others. He brings a light to others!




Here are a few of our Goal Getters for this week!

Our 3rd Grade Grand River Tech Tadpoles visited Grand River Technical School today. They visited the automotive, welding and computer science technology. The purpose of “Grand River Tech Tadpoles” is to introduce third grade students to a variety of career choices. Grand River Technical School students will mentor thirty third graders along paths that could possibly lead to their future careers. Students experience a real focused idea of how careers connect with what they are learning at school. Students get to see the variety of opportunities available to them as they get older and begin making career path choices at an early age. CES appreciates the opportunity to partner with the GRTS.
For a total of five visits, students will tour a program at GRTS and complete a hands-on project that relates to the program they toured.
