Grade 4 Spotlight!
Recently, our 4th grade students were able to spend the day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They learned about safety, careers in racing, and the huge impact the speedway has had in the state of Indiana over the last 115 years. What a fun way to learn about something unique to our Hoosier state!
This morning, CES students and their high school mentors enjoyed a breakfast celebration. This marked the end of a fun year during which our students met weekly with dedicated mentors who provided guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to connect. These consistent check-ins help our young Carroll Cougars learn how much they are capable of achieving!
We’re grateful for the mentors who invested their time and care into making a difference in our students’ lives every week. We're also thankful for Flora Community Club, who provided all mentors and mentees a delicious breakfast.
What a great day to be a Cougar!
Carroll is lucky to have the best. We appreciate our friends at Chartwells very much!
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the FUN with our students!
Throughout the month of April, the kindergarten classes at CES have been exploring animals and their habitats. Students have been busy researching different animals, discovering fun and interesting facts, and using their new knowledge in daily writing activities.
The students even visited the Indianapolis Zoo to learn more!
CES Grade 3 students got to experience hands-on learning about the life cycle of a chick. From raw eggs to newly-cracked shells, they were able to compare and contrast the differences in stages. Of course, holding the soft baby chicks was a favorite!
All third graders also got to go on an extra-special trip to Lucas Oil Stadium to experience the Final Four Fan Fest. After months of logging millions of minutes and climbing through a bracket-style tournament with other third graders across the state, CES earned an exclusive incentive trip to the 2026 Final Four festivities.
Our Grade 1 classrooms hosted current Kindergarten students while their teachers held round up earlier this week. First grade students read to their younger counterparts and helped them make a craft. What a fun day for all the children!
Second grade students were able to participate in Junior Achievement this year. They had fun learning about jobs, money, and their community, and even heard about different careers from our community volunteers. Thank you to all who helped make this happen for our students!
