Check out our 5th-grade garden and the fresh veggies we harvested! 🌱🥕🥒🍅 Our students are so excited to see their hard work growing into something delicious! 💚
Jeff Greer with J. Greer Moving and Junk Removal is helping local children start the school year with confidence. He raised funds to help support students with the school supplies they need for the year.
He noted that “Every child deserves to walk into their classroom feeling prepared, confident, and excited, not worried about whether they have a backpack, notebooks, pencils, or the other basic things many of us may take for granted.”
Thank you, Jeff!

Today, our newest teachers officially cut the ribbon on their very first classrooms! To help them kick off their teaching stories, each new educator is paired with a dedicated mentor to support and guide them all year long.
Building a community where teachers thrive so our students can shine—that’s the CES way. Soon, these hallways will be full of laughter, learning, and life-changing moments.

Growing our skills to help our students grow! 📖 Today, CES educators participated in professional development facilitated by Missouri State Literacy Coach Morgan Skaith. The session focused on rich read-alouds, high-impact questioning, and deep comprehension tasks across all grade levels. We can't wait to bring these ideas into the classroom! 🎒
CES teachers and staff are back and ready for a great year! We’re kicking things off with professional development meetings and trainings as we prepare, learn, and grow together for the year ahead. 📚🍎✨
