Have an amazing summer!

🏕️🔥 Mrs. Craft’s classroom turned into a campsite for an unforgettable room transformation! Students learned all about 🏞️ Yosemite National Park and the importance of 🔥 fire safety before relaxing with yummy s’mores and camping fun. What a fun way to learn and make memories together! 🍫⛺🌲

One of our favorite CES traditions ❤️🎓 After graduation, our 5th graders sign the giant CES letters, leaving behind a little piece of themselves before heading off to middle school. Years later, when they return for their senior walk, they get to see their names still written there from their 5th grade year. 🖊️✨ A special reminder that once you’re part of CES, you’ll always be part of our family. 💙 Once a Cougar, always a Cougar. 🐾

3rd grade ending the year with some fun & creativity!

Thank you to Parry's Pizza for loving on our staff & providing lunch for our staff! 🍕

Today was “X” for X-change in Kindergarten! ✍🏽📸 Students celebrated Autograph Day by “x-changing” autographs with classmates as they signed class pictures and shared sweet memories together. Such a fun and special way to celebrate an amazing year! ❤️

Last Leader in Me Clubs for the year! 🎉

Our favorite field trip of the year in 4th grade! Shoutout to our 4th team & 4th families for helping make this trip to The Boulders a huge success! ❤️🐾

When our Cougars are with us at school, we are all family. ❤️ Last week, 4th grade celebrated the family they have formed in their classrooms with a family dinner. Classes shared their happy, funny, and best memories for the year while teachers served and read personalized shout outs to their kids. What a great way to celebrate the year together! 🐾

🎉 Mrs. Graves’ kindergarten class celebrated their amazing end-of-year assessment growth with Sonic M&M Blasts! 🍦✨ These students worked so hard all year long, and we are so proud of the progress they made! 💙📚 Way to go, kindergarten! 🎓👏

Today was “W” for Western Day! 🤠🌵 Kindergarten students enjoyed a STEM lesson with Mrs. Smith and created handprint cactus crafts inspired by There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Cactus 🎨📚

5th grade had a blast at our annual cookout! A huge thank you to Clarkston PTA & our 5th grade parents for setting up, serving, providing refreshments, and supporting our 5th graders in a day of celebration! 🐾🎉

Clarkston's got talent! What a great talent show! 🐾🎉

Yesterday was “U” for USA in our ABC Countdown! 🇺🇸⭐🦅 Pre-K and Kindergarten classes visited the STEM Lab with Mrs. Smith and took on a fun Flagpole STEM Challenge! 🚩🏗️ Working in teams 🤝, students used red, white, and blue Play-Doh ❤️🤍💙, toothpicks, and a flag to build the tallest freestanding flagpole they could create. We loved seeing their creativity 🎨, teamwork 👏, and problem-solving skills 💡 in action. What a fun way to celebrate “U” Day!
