Ms McElveen's, Ms Keta's, and Mrs Michelle’s class cooked a wonderful spread for our CHS Custodian Appreciation Day on October 7. We love our custodians!
Check out our CES 3rd graders sharing their learning from our social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, 7 Mindsets!
These students from Mrs. Shepherd's and Ms. Rush's classes are learning more about how to be 100% accountable, and they reflected on some of the progress they've made this morning!

Humans in The Den
“We came in early that morning. We prepared a lot of food. I was helping to make sure everything got out there properly. We made sure that we had enough for everybody. When the food was eaten, we replaced it. I was plating quiches on the serving tray. After everyone left, we cleared off the tables, and we took everything back to the Culinary Arts room.”
Senior chef in training, Tybresha Williams, helped prepare food and serve the community at the Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony held in September. The following week, she assisted with the preparation of the reception food that was served at the Business After Hours hosted by the Board of Education. Because of her work schedule, she was unable to serve at this event, but as soon as she arrived at school the next day, she excitedly inquired about the reception.
When teased about all of the dishes left behind, she responded with a smile, “That’s okay! I’ll wash them next period.”
Tybresha Williams “leads with value”. She gives her time and shares her talents without expecting anything in return. The best part is that she does these things while displaying a beautiful attitude.

It was a great day to be a tiger! 180 students who had perfect attendance, good behavior, and no missing assignments for the month of September were invited to play games outside and treated to a snowcone supplied by Wavee Shavee. Students who had missing assignments were allowed to work on the assignments during this time.
CHS seniors Tayshaun Haley, & Austin Deloach, along with WBL Coordinator Channa Robinson, volunteered with Evans County Feed the Hungry to help distribute food at the Evans County Community Center. Community Leaders Liz Porter and Narus Mincey are also picured.
Tammi Hall, Executive Director of Claxton-Evans County Chamber of Commerce, and Adam Kennedy, Director of Claxton-Evans Economic Development Authority, visited Ms. Lee Ann Lane's Entrepreneurship class to share information about their respective organizations.
This is just a reminder that fall break is next week. October 10-14 is a holiday for all students. Enjoy your break!

Our Pre-K students are at it again! They participated in Georgia Team Day yesterday for Georgia Pre-K Week, AND they enjoyed a special visit from ANOTHER guest reader, Georgia Representative Bill Werkheiser!
Representative Werkheiser read Malcolm Mitchell's book titled "Hey, Georgia" to our Pre-K students. The author, Mr. Mitchell, is a former wide receiver for one beloved Georgia team (Go Dawgs!) and a Super Bowl champion member of the New England Patriots!
Following the read-aloud, Representative Werkheiser stayed for a photo-op with our classes.
Thanks to Representative Werkheiser for spending this time with our youngest Tiger readers and writers today!

Congratulations to our 8th grade Students of the Week for the month of September! One boy and one girl was chosen by their teachers for one week in September for their hard work and great attitude. Shane Hunt, Miya Herrington, Jason Newman, D'adria Freeman, Reese Killebrew, and Gladys Dominguez, we are proud of you !
On Friday, November 4th, 2022, the last regular season Claxton High School (CHS) football game in the historic Bell Memorial Field, also known as the Pecan Grove, will be played. We want to make this last football game in the Pecan Grove a special event for Tigers present and Tigers past, so please make plans to join us and participate in this special occasion for our school and our community!
Starting at 6:45, our 2022 senior football players, cheerleaders, and band members will be recognized in a pre-game Senior Night Ceremony.
During halftime, we will celebrate all the football players, cheerleaders, band members, and coaches who have competed on this field since its opening in the 1940s and until present. As part of our celebration, we will have special Tiger and Pecan Grove memorabilia for all ceremony participants, and we will have commemorative t-shirts for sale.
We will share more specific details leading up to the event. Our goal is to make this a memorable and special occasion for everyone as our football team says goodbye to the Grove! We hope to see you and all of the Tiger Nation in the stands on November 4th.
CHS Underclass pictures and senior portrait make up pictures will be taken on Thursday, October 20. More information is coming soon.
ECCSS will celebrate Red Ribbon Week (RRW) the week of October 24-28.
The attached flyer lists the dress-up days for all ECCSS schools. We encourage all students and staff to participate in these days to show their commitment to living life drug-free!
Our CES students were also invited to participate in a coloring contest for RRW, and this is a reminder that their coloring sheets should be turned in to their homeroom teachers tomorrow! We can't wait to see all the creative ways that our young Tigers show their commitment to being drug free!
