CCES is ricking off our Read-a-thon with a Dr. Seuss themed week when we return back from vacation! Here is the list of themed days! We can't wait to see our students in their themed attire!

Today is Friday, February 17, 2023. Due to predicted icing throughout the day today, there is no school in RSU 64. Please stay safe.

This beautiful weather is making us look forward to summer. Since we're thinking of summer check out some of these great summer program opportunities being offered by the local YMCA.

The fourth graders have worked hard the past month on their famous Mainer studies, so we wanted to provide them with a real opportunity to interview a famous Mainer. Today, Patrick Dempsey, joined our students via zoom, so they could learn more about his acting career, hobbies, and his philanthropy within Maine. The students shared afterwards that it was a great memory for them to have and that he was a pretty "cool" guy!

We have two new Hootie Award winners to announce! Mrs. Speed awarded Mrs. Sabine the Hootie award because she has been a huge help to Food Service and just jumps in to either cross names off at breakfast or help us set up. She is very involved not only in school activities but is in PTO and helps out with after school functions as well. Mrs. Wood awarded Ms. McKenzie the Hootie award because she respects her ability to connect all students and staff together through technology. She also brings new opportunities for students through coding and always provides technology help when we need it most!

It is School Counseling Week! We’re so thankful for everything Mrs. Chabot provides for our students and staff here at CCES!

We have some EXCITING news! We have announced a new mascot during our assembly with our students and staff today. There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes work with students, staff, a mascot committee, and feedback from our community that brought us to the final decision. We hope that our mascot will be a representation of who we are here at CCES. We hope that it will continue to bring community and unity to our already amazing school! Our mascot is a representation of playful, family-oriented, cuddly friends who have an adventure and curiosity of learning and discovering the world around them. As well as, friends who will grow up into strong, independent, fierce adults who become great leaders in our world. So today we are proud to officially announce the CCES BEAR CUBS!

Tomorrow is our Student Council sponsored Spirt Gear day!

Due to the continuing storm, the RSU 64 Board of Directors meeting scheduled for this evening has been postponed until next Monday, January 30 at 7pm at CCES.

A message from Mr. Clark! Yay snow! Our PE classes will be going outside sledding for the next two weeks. Please have your children come prepared for winter fun!

All schools in RSU 64 are closed tomorrow, Monday, January 23, 2023. Please stay safe!

Mrs. Sawyer awarded Mrs. Speed with the Hootie award for going above and beyond every day to ensure that there is sufficient food for the students and staff and that there is adequate kitchen staff to prepare and serve the meals. Lots of times, she has to fill vacant positions herself while trying to get her own responsibilities done as the Food Service Manager. Mrs. Jack awarded Mrs. Wood with the Hootie for her longtime dedication and commitment to the students of CCES. Her effort on the wax museum never goes unnoticed. She often wears many hats within the school. She will be greatly missed when she retires this year.

We are very excited for a new year to begin and are expecting an amazing second half of the school year! We hope you have enjoyed your winter break and we will see you all soon!

From our CCES family to yours we hope you have the merriest Christmas yet!

Today the staff of CCES wanted to do something special for our students. So one of the ways we did was by dressing up as some very popular Christmas things. From Twinkle and Glitter, to gingerbreads and elves, to Mrs. Claus, snowmen, and reindeer, we have the best staff at CCES.
