We've laughed and learned from August to June,
And now we're dismissing at 12:00 noon!

We've taught them math, we've taught them to read,
We've helped them succeed and planted the seed.

We've tied loose shoes and found missing glue,
We've answered "What page?" a time or two.

We've celebrated victories, both big and small,
And watched our students grow so tall.

We'll miss their smiles, their stories, and wit,
But summer is here and that's about it!

So parents, get ready, don't delay a bit...

DISMISSAL IS AT 12:00 NOON - TAG, YOU'RE IT!

These students were so excited today to receive their prizes from our end of year raffle! Their hard work paid off! Thank you to all our families and community members who donated and helped provide the prizes for our students. We could not make all this happen without you!

🌟 The Final CSS Weekly of Our Golden Year 🌟

As we share our last CSS Weekly: Golden Edition, we want to thank our students, families, staff, and community for making this truly a Golden Year. 💙💛

From classroom successes and athletic achievements to special events and celebrations, we are incredibly proud of all that our Cougars have accomplished this year.

Be sure to check out this week’s updates, important reminders, promotion ceremonies, summer opportunities, and end-of-year information.

☀️ Have a safe and amazing summer!

What a fantastic time our 5th graders had at the Spring Into Summer Dance yesterday afternoon! ☀️🎉

From dancing and laughter to making memories with friends, our students had an absolute blast celebrating the end of their elementary school journey together. It was the perfect way to kick off summer and recognize an amazing group of students as they prepare for their next adventure!

A huge thank you to our CSS PTO, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this special event possible. 💙💛🐾

Our second graders have been hard at work during their plant unit, learning firsthand how food grows. After weeks of caring for their garden, students proudly harvested their crops yesterday!

This season's harvest included:
🥬 Collards
🥦 Cauliflower
🥬 Cabbage

The learning isn't over yet! On Tuesday, students will have the opportunity to cook and taste the vegetables they grew themselves. What a fun way to connect science, healthy eating, and hands-on learning!

We are so proud of our young gardeners and can't wait to hear what they think of their homegrown harvest! 🌱💚
