January Student of the Month

CES is happy to honor Macie as January’s student of the month!

Macie is a shining example of character and determination. She is sweet and kind in every interaction, always considerate of others and willing to lend a helping hand. Her cooperative, easy‑going nature makes her a joy to have as a student, and she consistently tries her best no matter the challenge. She shows true grit when faced with obstacles and approaches each day with courage and a positive spirit. Her hard work and genuine care for those around her make her an outstanding role model for our school community .

Macie is in 4th grade and was nominated by Mrs. Kincaid and Ms. Stanton.

We are excited to announce that our Book Blast launches on January 13, 2026!

Just like last year, students will have the chance to take home up to 10 brand-new books that you get to keep for yourself!

Here’s how it works:

you’ll send out 10 or more e-invites to family or friends asking them to support your reading journey. Once you reach your maximum donation goal, any extra support doesn’t go to waste—it helps your classmates earn books too!
And teachers—class participation really matters! The more students in your class who participate, the more money your classroom can earn for supplies.

Get ready to read, share, and blast off into books—Book Blast starts January 13th!
