Claxton Middle School celebrated Read Across America Week...let's look back at the amazing activities we enjoyed:
1. Students recommended their top reads. 📚 Many discovered new favorites!
2. Students were invited to dress for a different theme each day.
3. Discovered SORA: We dove into our digital reading platform. It's been like having a library at our fingertips! 📲
4. Students learned how to find books in the media center using Destiny Discover on their Chromebooks. 🔍
5.Students learned to email Mrs. Durrence, our media specialist, with book requests. 💌 She's excited to help everyone find their next great read.
6. Tic Tac Toe Library Book Search: We participated in a book search activity, and names were drawn for prizes throughout the day. 🏆 Congrats to all our winners!
It's been a fantastic week of literary exploration and discovery. Whether you're into mysteries, adventures, or just looking for something new, this week showed there's a book out there for everyone. 🌟 #ReadAcrossAmerica #ClaxtonMiddleReads #RoarANDSoar











The CHS Beta Club sponsored its first annual Say Yes to the Dress event last week. Over 130 prom dresses were donated to the club, allowing the CHS young ladies the opportunity to find a dress of their choice for prom. The event was a success, with 21 young ladies securing a dress for prom. The Beta Club plans to continue this event each year. If you would like to donate a dress, CHS Beta Club accepts dresses on an on-going basis, and they will be used at next year's event. #BlackAndGold #MakingMemories #Tradition

Due to the weather this afternoon the CMS baseball game has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled for March 12th at 4:30 PM.


CHS Baseball fans- due to weather concerns, only the varsity baseball team will play in Savannah today versus Jenkins High School. There will be no JV baseball game today. #BlackAndGold


It’s an American icon found in nearly every U.S. town and city, so of course Claxton has one. You can find several of our WBL students at work here- in the Claxton McDonald’s! Featured (left to right) are sisters Olivia and Noemi Mejia, both CHS seniors. You may remember that Olivia qualified to compete in a national culinary competition last summer, and her post-graduation plan is to obtain work as a chef. Noemi’s post-graduation plan is to pursue higher education to obtain a degree in the area of Physical Therapy. These two ambitious young ladies have plans, and they soon will graduate fully prepared to set them in motion. CHS will be cheering you on! Way to go, Olivia and Noemi! #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess #TheDEN


It's National School Breakfast Week! Please encourage your child to eat with us!
