PRI and Gear Up are looking for parental input with this survey. Your child should bring a copy home soon. We ask that you complete the written copy or access the survey with the scan code and complete electronically. Thank you for assisting us with this survey.
April was National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, Mrs. Edwards guided her 6th-grade students through an in-depth poetry study. Over several weeks, students explored poetic devices, structure, tone, and theme. The unit culminated on Monday, when they applied everything they had learned to analyze the theme of Robert Frost’s classic poem “The Road Not Taken.” As a final project, students created artistic representations of the poem, visually expressing its meaning and impact through their own creative lens.
Awards Day will be Wednesday, May 28th at 9:00 AM for grades 3rd-7th! 8th grade awards will be presented at Graduation! 🪓🤍
We love our students at CES. It is always good to be REDSKIN!
