American Heart Association – Kids Heart Challenge

Mr. McWhinnie recently completed a jump rope unit with the physical
education classes. A school-wide goal was set to raise $2,000 for the
American Heart Association. CES students surpassed the goal and raised nearly $3,000! In celebration of their efforts, we held a dance party for the K-2 students and a staff vs. students scooter hockey game for the students in grades 3-4. Thank you to everyone who supported us in raising funds for this worthy cause!

NED’s Mindset Mission

CES recently held a very popular school-wide assembly called NED’s Mindset Mission. The presentation included storytelling, illusions, and yo-yo tricks as the speaker talked to our students about Never giving up, Encouraging others, and Doing your best. This engaging presentation came to us free as
part of a “pay it forward” system. We conducted a sale of their yo-yos at the school store, with the proceeds from the sale being used to pay it forward to the next school. Our student delegates helped create a “NED Zone” (space outside on the playground) for students to safely practice their yo-yo skills. It was a huge success, and we hope to bring additional programs by All for Kidz back to CES in the near future.
Students loved this high energy presentation!

Animal Encounters

A representative from Wildlife Encounters Ecology and Wellness Center came and shared several animals, including a tarantula, bullfrog, opossum, macaw, snake, and a rabbit. Students learned about the adaptations that these animals use to survive in the wild. Learners were invited to pet the snake and rabbit at the end of the assembly. The snake was wildly popular!
