Good Afternoon Colt Families!

Mrs. Goodson is sending home Square 1 Art Flyers with students in their Friday folders today. The ordering window is now open and will close on December 11th.
Also, please mark your calendars for our 1st ever Winter WonderLights night! It will be December 3rd from 5-7pm. You will have the opportunity to see your student's winter art, play some winter games, experience some beautiful lights and purchase a winter mug with some hot chocolate made by our 4th and 5th graders! The proceeds from the mugs will go directly to our Angel Tree program. We also are supporting our feeder schools (ELMS and ELHS) by holding a gift card raffle. Bring a $15-$20 gift card to support the ELMS/ELHS Angel Trees and be entered into a raffle. More information to come soon, but you won't want to miss this event!
A bus reminder: Parents, please remind bus riders that it is the utmost importance to stay seated, no food/drink, and to be on their best behavior on the bus! This is for their safety and everyone else's! Thank you.

Today, we were honored to celebrate and recognize the brave men and women who have served our country. Our Veterans Day Celebration was a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation and teach our students the importance of honoring those who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms.
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who helped plan, organize, and make today's celebration such a special success! Your time, effort, and support are truly appreciated.
Most importantly, to all of our veterans, thank you for your courage, your service, and the sacrifices you and your families have made for our country. We are forever grateful for your dedication and the freedoms you have helped protect.
From all of us at CSES, THANK YOU for your service! ❤️🤍💙

Good Afternoon!
We've had a great week at Catawba Springs!
We appreciate all the golfers from our community supporting our 16th annual Tee it Up for Technology Tournament. We had a great time and appreciate your support!
A couple of things to note for attendance:
Our prior student information system, Powerschool, counted days (divided in halves) for attendance. Our new system, Infinite Campus, counts minutes for attendance and students must be present for 199 minutes to be counted present for the day. With that said, to be counted present for the day students will need to arrive at school no later than 11:19 or leave after 11:19 (since our tardy bell rings at 8:00).
Students should be in the building by 8:00. Please allow yourself enough time to enter the car rider line and have students exit their vehicle so that they are inside by 8:00.
Our Veteran's Day Assembly is this Tuesday! We are excited to celebrate all of our Veterans in attendance and encourage ALL of our students and staff to wear Red, White, and Blue!
Other things to note:
11/9- Fall Picture Day Make-ups
11/11- Veteran's Day Holiday- No School for students or staff
11/13- Duty Free Lunch; World Kindness Day
11/23- Progress Reports go home
11/25-11/29- Thanksgiving Break
Enjoy your weekend and we will see everyone back on Monday!

🍪📚 Division Is Sweet!
Our students got a delicious introduction to division by reading The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins! As the cookies were shared, students used hands-on learning to practice making equal groups and discovering how division helps us share fairly. Math is always more fun when you can learn with a little cookie creativity! 🍪➗
Way to go, Colts, as you build your math skills one equal group at a time! 🐎🧡💙

Our Kindergarten students had an incredible field trip to the local fire station this week! They got to see the giant fire trucks up close, tour the station, learn all about fire safety, and meet the heroic firefighters who keep our community safe.
A massive thank you to our local fire department for welcoming our students, answering their big questions, and showing us what true leadership in action looks like! ❤️🚒
Honk if you love learning! 🚚🚑🚜
Our 4th graders had an absolute blast on their field trip to Careers on Wheels yesterday! Students got hands-on experience exploring different vehicles, meeting incredible community leaders, and discovering exciting career paths for their futures.
To tie into our Leader in Me journey, our 4th graders practiced Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind as they started dreaming about their future goals, and Habit 6: Synergize by learning how all of these vital community workers team up to keep our town safe and running smoothly.
A huge thank you to all the community members and volunteers who brought their vehicles and shared their time with our leaders! 💙🌟

Students worked together to share ideas, ask thoughtful questions, listen respectfully to different perspectives, and support their thinking with evidence.
