A quick look around the district today! CCES students enjoyed pinpointing places on their new reading room map and dreaming of future exploration in library; middle school ELA students interviewed each other during a writing exercise; and high school biomedical students practiced taking vital signs. It’s been a great day of learning!

One of our core values in Crittenden County Schools is RELATIONSHIPS, and we define it as "nurturing positive connections by treating others with empathy, compassion, and respect." Every staff member is a relationship builder in our district, and today, we are proud to highlight two of our newest Rocket family members doing just that.

Elementary school SRO Amy Santiago spent lunch today visiting with students and "deputizing" them with stickers as Junior Sheriffs. On Tuesday, middle and high SRO Joe Witherspoon began his day visiting with our seniors and leading them to school on their last first drive to campus.

Join us in celebrating these--and all of our Rocket family members--who pour into our students daily as we all work toward our vision of "launching students to personal success in an ever-evolving world."

2nd graders in Mrs. Bailey Gilbert's class created their own pet goldfish to take home after reading the book, "We Don't Eat Our Classmates," a short story about showing empathy, extending friendship, and practicing self-control.

We think our Rockets did "swimmingly" with this activity!
