At the Winter Georgia Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL) Conference in Athens last week, ECCSS was awarded a GAEL Vision Award! Each year, GAEL presents this special recognition to school systems that are committed to providing professional learning that encourages and grows teachers, principals, and other district staff! Thanks to our students, teachers, staff, BOE, parents, families, and community for all you do to help make ECCSS a great place to learn and teach! Congratulations ECCSS! #LifelongLearners #TigerPride #WeLoveOurTigers

Coach Lanier spent the day briefing his ELA/World History students on their assignment- reversed classroom. Students were given specific standards, along with state provided teacher notes, to help them understand what they need to teach. They were also given roles regarding which part of the assignment they are responsible for. They will begin teaching Thursday. #4Cs #CriticalThinking #Creativity #Collaboration #Communication

Mr. Nick Hodgson was surprised to be recognized as a WTOC Top Teacher! Mr. Hodgson was nominated by several students, including sophomore Kaidence Allred. Kaidence stated she nominated Mr. Hodgson because "he's a good teacher and cares about his students. He is always willing to go out of his way to help." Congratulations, Mr. Hodgson! Watch WTOC this Wednesday, February 1st at 6:00 p.m. to see Mr. Hodgson's spotlight!

CMS students who met or exceeded their MAP goal during the winter testing session were given the opportunity to tape Mrs. McDowell to the wall. Students received one piece of duct tape for every subject goal (science, math, and reading) that they met or exceeded. On Monday, all students spent Tiger Pride and 3rd period in the cafeteria playing games and getting their chance to tape the principal.

On Friday, January 27th, CMS 7th graders visited Georgia Southern University Savannah Campus to participate in the JA Finance simulation. This program is designed to help students build a foundation on which they can make intelligent financial decisions that last a lifetime, including decisions related to income, expenses, savings, and credit. #ProjectBasedLearning #4Cs

Mrs. Myers, 6th-grade Earth Science teacher and Mrs. Brown, 7th-grade Life Science teacher, launched their project-based learning activity with Dr. Jamie Roberts, Georgia Southern University's Associate Professor of Fisheries, Department of Biology. Students learned about the human impact on the environment. Dr. Roberts spoke about watersheds, oriented students to their "watershed address" (Canoochee/Ogeechee), and asked students to identify how different stakeholder groups (e.g., farmers, power companies, homeowners, timber companies, Hyundai plant) might affect our local ecosystem. Dr. Roberts concluded by identifying ways that affect humans and wildlife and things each of those groups might do to lessen impacts. #ProjectBasedLearning

Congratulations to the CMS Boys Basketball Team Region Champs! Way to go! BOE Recognition at 6:00 pm on 3/6/23.

Huge CONGRATS to our CMS C-team Tiger CHAMPS! CMS defeated Screven Co for the championship today in Glennville! Way to go, Tigers! #GoTigers #OnceATigerAlwaysATiger #WeLoveOurTigers

At The DEN, one of our priorities is to make the learning relevant. This week Culinary Arts Year 2 participated in a Mystery Basket Challenge. Teams were given one pound of ground beef and an assortment of fresh vegetables--onions, carrots, and peppers. Their task was to use these ingredients plus a grain and seasonings of their choice to create a delicious and beautifully plated main course. This challenge put the students' culinary skills to the test! It also helped them see the possibilities of using what you have when your budget is tight or a grocery store visit isn't possible due to weather or time constraints. In the end, some very delicious entrees were produced--Beef Alfredo, Smothered Beef Steak with a Side of Rice, and Beef and Rice! #TheDEN #realworld
