Dear CES Families and Friends,
It has been a wonderful week here at CES! Wednesday our entire school came together for the October SHARK Assembly. Our SHARKS were happy to learn that their detective skills were improving when Mr. DiNoia was revealed as the Mystery Shark. We were treated to a special concert by the flute players, drum rolls from the 4th-grade Shark Bait band, and an original song "I'm Never Giving Up" from the 4th-grade Shark Attack band. We had shark mascots dancing and welcoming us to the gym along with lots to celebrate from the winners of Sgt. Massey's monthly Pizza Party (Mrs. King's class earned the most tickets) to the pumpkin carving winners (Mr. Anglim's class for their great work with math fluency). Our student newspaper reporters read some of their articles (you can check out the student newspaper, SHARK Talk, HERE) and we celebrated this year's first nominees to the CES Sea of Success (see more below).
We have another special celebration coming up on Wednesday, November 8th for our local and related veterans in honor of Veterans Day. Please see below for more information on how families can share photos to be included in our veterans' slide show. We welcome any veterans and current service men and women to join us for the special assembly as we show our gratitude for those who serve.
I hope to you this afternoon at 4:00 for the annual Halloween parade.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kelly
