The Welding Simulator/Industrial Maintenance Trailer was back at CHS today! This hands-on experience was a huge hit last year, and we were thrilled to welcome it back. Representatives from WorkSource Northeast Georgia were on campus to guide students through the trailer, which featured simulators exploring careers in electrical, mechanical, PLCs, hydraulics, welding, and more. It was an incredible opportunity for students to gain insight into high-demand career pathways! We are proud to provide engaging and innovative opportunities for our students at CCSS!

Inspired to Make a Difference! Today, CMS students Gabe Tidwell and Nelson Ascencio showed how powerful literature can be. After reading A Long Walk to Water in Mrs. Sparks’ class and learning about Africa in Coach Flint’s class, they were inspired to take action—raising money to build a well in South Sudan! Students and staff also gathered today to learn about the water crisis in South Sudan, how limited access to water impacts communities, and ways to team up to create change. Starting tomorrow, CMS will sell Icee-pops for 50 cents each at lunch for 12 days to support the Water for South Sudan Iron Giraffe Challenge. Their goal is to raise $1,000 by April 18th to support clean water efforts.

Our CHS Education as a Profession students hosted all CES 3rd-grade classes for a career awareness event! A Tiger Town Market was set up to highlight various human service careers, including cosmetology, nails, barbering, interior design, real estate, grocery store roles, and even a bank where paychecks could be cashed. It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to explore different career paths in a hands-on way! We are so grateful for the Education as a Profession pathway at CCSS and how our students are learning from one another, building connections, and exploring new opportunities together.

A big THANK YOU to the CHS students in Mr. Moskowitz's class for teaching 3rd graders about clean energy! Not only did they build solar and wind-powered cars, but they also shared their knowledge about sustainability and renewable energy with third graders at CES. It’s amazing to see all of our students at CCSS working together to learn and lead the way in innovation and sustainability.

Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Sailers’ second grade class had fun reviewing fractions with Crumbl Cookies. Students practiced rows and columns and partitioning shapes into equal shares. They enjoyed a sweet treat after their hard work!

Students in Coach Lund's Georgia Studies classes are diving into the Legislative Branch this week with a Mock Legislative Session! The class is split into the House of Representatives and the Senate, each led by a Speaker and Lt. Governor. They’re following the real process used by the state to create laws— including the power to override a "Governor" veto with a 2/3 vote! It’s a fun, hands-on way to learn about how laws are made in Georgia!

Our CES team toured the new Cottrell Elementary for inspiration as we design our new school. We saw how great design supports student success and look forward to bringing these ideas back to our community.
