The Native American proverb, "It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story," is a great reminder of one of our 7 Mindsets- We Are Connected.
High school students, have you earned your service hours for the year? Look around you for opportunities to be of service to others.
Last night Kaidence Allred and Alyssa Jones worked at the First Responder Appreciation Dinner. These ladies made life-long connections with those in our community and helped serve the delicious meal.

The Claxton High School Nutrition Program was awarded a Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) ARPA Equipment Grant by the Georgia State Board of Education. A Vulcan steam-jacketed kettle was purchased with the grant. Miley Plumbing was contracted to deliver and install the new equipment in the CMS/CHS kitchen.
Brian Croft, Evans County Fire Chief and Instructor at CHS, taught the School Nutrition staff at CES and CMS/CHS about Fire Safety in the School Kitchen. As part of the training, the cafeteria staff practiced putting out fires by using the P.A.S.S. steps: 1) Pull the pin; 2)Aim at the base of the fire; 3) Squeeze the handle; and 4) Sweep side to side.
CMS students in Ms. Toothman's 5th period math class celebrated reaching their first achievement goal this year. Each class had an IXL goal of 50 points, and 5th period (6th graders) was the first class to meet the goal. They were celebrated with a special treat, courtesy of Ms. Toothman and Ms. Phillips. Congratulations, students! We are proud of your hard work!
