Check out what Mrs. Jack has been up to this summer so far! #CCESSTAFFSUMMERVACA When I haven’t been in my pool I have been busy taking a few webinars. I am learning about the Science of Writing. I am also doing the AIMS modules on Literacy. Miss Swett and I attended an amazing conference in Nashville. We danced with KOO KOO and Jack Hartman. We listened to Gerry Brooks. We attended a few sessions with Jake Daggett who is amazing and very energetic

On our last student day, and their last day, please join me in thanking Cormier's Bus Service and Leighton's Bus Service for their many, many years of dedication in the transportation of our students! Your safe transport of thousands of students over the past several years has not gone unnoticed! Thank you for taking such great care of our kids!!!

Our final CUBS award of the year were handed out on Monday evening! Miss Jackson gave Mr. Clark the CUBS award for all of the effort he's put into building a fun and engaging program for all of our students. No matter what grade level or skill level, Brian is always trying to make connections and to help students to feel confident and proud of themselves. He also always has the best jokes! " Miss Rolfe nominated Mrs. Marsh for " helping me settle into my position in first grade. She has answered the millions of questions I have had and never appears to mind. Each day she checks in and is always giving reminders about upcoming events or deadlines. She not only has supported me in my endeavors but also has created a safe and engaging learning environment in her room that I have gotten to observe on multiple occasions. "

We want to extend our BIGGEST thanks to our volunteers who helped with field day this week! Each day was a huge success and our volunteers made all the difference! Thank you for supporting our students!!!

I can't believe I am sharing the FINAL newsletter of the year! This school year has flown by! It has been a wonderful experience watching students grow and learn this school year! Here is our June Newsletter: https://secure.smore.com/n/w2yvr

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all our CCES families!! We hope you all have a wonderful 3 day weekend!! We'd also like to remind everyone that students are welcome to start their school day at 7:30am with us! Students who arrive prior to 7:30 will need to stay with their parents due to not having supervision before 7:30. Thank you for your corporation with this!

We have two new CUB award recipients! Mrs. Norris gave the award to Miss Rolfe. She states, ". She has stepped into a very difficult situation by taking over a class towards the end of the year. I have watched her structure her students in a very caring and supportive way." Mr. Dennis gave Miss Jackson the award and stated, "She goes out of her way to make her students feel cared for and important. She has graciously accepted multiple new students throughout the year and has always made them feel welcomed in their new environment. She goes out of her way to establish connections with staff and students not only in 5th grade, but throughout the school. She is quick-witted, empathetic, and a pleasure to work with. Any ed tech would be lucky to work with her."

Today is the day! Stop in anytime from 3:00- 6:30 today to check out some of the amazing artwork our K-5 students have been busy creating. They have learned how to combine different materials, use a variety of techniques, and add in their creativity to create masterpieces. We have wonderful artists here at CCES so stop in and support them today.

It's was very sunny around CCES today but all those sunglasses helped us get through the day. Tomorrow is Friday and we our going to celebrate by wearing our best floral and spring colors. Flower Friday is sure to brighten everyone's day and make Friday fun!

Wowzers that was a Wonderful Wild Woods Wednesday with the field of camouflage. It's that time of year when we get to start bringing out our summer shades. Tomorrow is Time to Shine Thursday where you get to wear you favorite sunglasses. Can't wait to see those shining faces and cool sunglasses tomorrow.

Hopefully all our our "tourists" had fun exploring the great big, fun world of CCES today. For tomorrow it's time to dig out those camo pants, shirts, hats, boots, whatever you have because we're going into Wild Woods Wednesday.

Hot Diggety Dog... it felt like we were in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all day. Tomorrow's theme is Tacky Tourist Tuesday. Dig out your best tourist attire and accessories. Need some ideas: sunglasses , hats, shorts, binoculars, fanny packs, or hawaiian shirts... but please no bathing suits. See you tomorrow... hopeful the sun will be shining!

Happy Sunday! As you're getting ready for the week don't forget our Spring Theme Week begins tomorrow. We will be kicking off the week with Mickey Mouse Monday. Wear anything Disney themed to school tomorrow and we can't wait to see what you choose to wear.

The CCES heat system is down again this week. Technicians have identified the problem however, the building will be a bit cool again tomorrow. Also, students are going outside for recess activities so please have them dress for the cooler spring weather we are experiencing. Thank you!

Come join us for our Student Art Show!!

Mrs. Stefanik presented the award to Mrs. Norris. She said, "I would like to present the CUBS award to this person because she came into this school year when things were a little messy and has jumped right in and done an amazing job helping however she can. She often goes above and beyond and is always asking how she can help! In her short time here she has already made many connections with staff whether she is offering gardening advice, bringing in flower bulbs and plants to share or just being a smiling face at the end of everyday." Mrs. Hart presented the award to Mr. Dennis and said, "I am presenting the CUBS award to him for a multitude of reasons. He has been a positive presence in our school building for a few years. He has wonderful relationships with many students and is willing to lend a helping hand when asked. He never hesitates to go to the Y to swim, entertain students with ‘Would you rather?’ questions at recess or offer advice to a student who may need some support. I’ve known him for a few years but have had the pleasure of having him in my classroom this year. He is compassionate, flexible and his presence is a wonderful asset to our building."

Our student council is sponsoring a theme week next week!! This will be our final theme week of the year! Students will go home with the flyers today! :)
