PTO Meeting at 7:00 tonight in the elementary library. Enter through Door 15. All parents, guardians, and staff are welcome!
CES has the MOST WONDERFUL cafeteria staff. They are always willing to try things that are fun for our students. From "Discovery Kitchen" to a delicious offering on Hot Chocolate Day, they put extra detail and love into their jobs. They absolutely outdid themselves Friday, preparing 600 individual cups of Whizbang Worm Delight to go along with our school-wide book, How To Eat Fried Worms. Thank you, ladies! We are so very lucky to have you serving our youngest Cougars!
A prize for winning the classroom Hat Day contest was "Lunch with Mrs. Ray." Instead of eating in the classroom, we decided to have a fun hallway picnic! (Thank you to our awesome custodian Missy for cleaning up so many spills and crumbs!)
Our "One School, One Book" program for 2025 is underway! CES staff and students are reading How to Eat Fried Worms in the days between now and Spring Break. We encourage ALL families to read along and experience the fun! (Would YOU eat 15 worms for $50?)
Yesterday, we celebrated first grade student Yanira as our honored Cougar of the Day. Her teachers praised her for being an outstanding student who puts forth effort all day long. Yanira, thank you for being such a wonderful role model!
Today, we celebrated 5th grade student Josie as our Cougar of the Day. Mrs. Hall praised her for working hard, asking questions, and always being ready to learn. Josie, we are so happy you are a Carroll Cougar! Keep striving to be your best!
Due to weather, all afternoon and evening events at CES are cancelled for the balance of today. This includes athletics, tutoring, and meetings. Stay warm and stay safe!
Parents/Guardians/Family/Friends of CES Students,
As we approach Valentine's Day and all of the fun that comes with school celebrations, we ask that you refrain from sending flowers or balloons to your child if they ride the school bus home. There are many reasons for this restriction, including breakable vases, large balloons that restrict the drivers' views, and limited space in the seats.
Thank you in advance! We are all looking forward to the fun Friday will bring!

Friday is HAT DAY at CES! Wear your coolest or funniest or biggest hat. Bring $1 and help your class WIN!
Today was the 10th annual "Global School Play Day." And BOY, did our students play! It was a whole day without electronics or screens, designed with the intention of reminding children how fun unstructured play can be. Our students built with LEGO, played with dolls, colored and drew, played board games...it was a special day at CES!
Fifth grade teacher Mrs. Meek was so impressed with Millie's kindness that she nominated her as our Cougar of the Day. In Mrs. Meek's words, Millie "chooses to be kind to ALL students, not just her close friends." Keep spreading your kindness around, Millie!!
We have some Cougars of the Day to catch up on! Second grade student Augie was honored for not only working hard, but for respecting his teachers and peers. Showing respect is such an admirable quality, Augie! Keep it up!
