Mrs. Whitfield and Mrs. Bacon's class learned all about 'Maximizing Positive Relationships' with their classmates by creating a compliment circle and making friendship soup! 💕

Students in Mrs. Nicoli's Art class have been working collaboratively to research a painting. They had to Communicate and Collaborate to get the information, use their Critical thinking skills to determine what was valuable and valid research, and use their Creativity to determine how they wanted to present the information to their classmates. This is a great example of how our students are using the 4Cs while participating in project based learning!

Please help ECCSS celebrate two of Claxton High School’s (CHS) own, Aracely Silva-Rodriguez and Miguel Munoz-Cerro, members of the senior and junior classes, respectively. Aracely and Miguel are pioneering members of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Pre-Apprentice Program, supported through partnerships with CHS, Ogeechee Technical College (OTC), and Claxton Poultry. Through this program for dual-enrolled students, Aracely and Miguel will receive college coursework through Ogeechee Tech and on-the-job training, including mentorship, through Claxton Poultry. Aracely and Miguel were welcomed to Claxton Poultry yesterday afternoon for the signing event, where members of the College Career Academy board and staff from CHS, OTC, and Claxton Poultry celebrated these two trailblazing members of the pre-apprentice program. Good luck Aracely and Miguel! ECCSS is proud of you! #CollegeandCareer #Partnerships #WorkBasedLearning #CelebrateOurStudents

Students and parents, it’s PICTURE TIME at CES! Fall pictures will be made by inVision pix on Friday, September 9th. Here are a few suggestions to make your fall pictures great: ● Wear solid colors. They enhance the facial tones and do not detract from expressions. ● Look for a top that complements your child’s face. ● Clothes that are clean and stain-free. ● The front of your child’s hair should not be “eyelash-brushing long”. ● Neat, shiny hair always looks best. ● Encourage them to let their braces shine and remind them that a gap tooth is beautiful! Mark your calendar for September 9th. We look forward to seeing your child.

Ms. Selph's Geometry class was learning about parallel lines cut by a transversal. Students played a game to see who could gather all the definitions and congruent angles in the fastest amount of time.
