My family and I have had a lot of fun and we have traveled a little but it has been great to just spend time together.

With construction changes, 4 of our 5th grade teachers will be moving inside the building.  Mrs. Lacy, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Newton & Mrs. Skarp will be in the building on the old 5th hall.

Lacy - Leadership Room
Newton - Pride's room
Skarp - room next to Pride
Davis - room next to Leadership room (actually this is Mrs. Davis' old 5th grade room).

Mrs. Melanie Perry (from Career Tech) will be our new gifted ed teacher - on campus - no more buses!  She will be moving into a portable (TBD).

When the new school is finished the 3rd grade hall be vacated by all of 3rd grade and then that hall will become the extra unit hall.

Mr. Allen Porter is our new custodian.  Mr. Porter has been a custodian at Oakwood University for the last several years before coming to CES.
