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!

For the next three mornings, students can bring coins and bills to vote "FOR" and "AGAINST" other classes. It gets pretty competitive, and the leaderboard will be shared every afternoon.
Adults in the building will be supervising and helping to ensure students understand how to vote. Send all your change. . .in any form! Silver, copper, or paper money all work. We'll help them vote wisely!
