Packed House at the CES Christmas Musical
Big shout out to Mrs. "V" and the K, 2nd and 3rd grade students! The Christmas musical was awesome and the cafeteria was packed! Thanks to all that helped set up and break down the cafeteria and monitor students during the program. Your help was much needed and very appreciated! Our students represented our school well last night! If you missed the program, the CES Student Council is selling CDs of the event. The price is $10. Congratulations Mrs. Vanzandt!

Norton's Noticings
- Students are continually using the "Bucket Filling" phrase and have really taken ownership of this endeavor.
- The RTI process, while still relatively new to us and still a bit cumbersome, is working. Thank you for embracing this undertaking and for being patient as we work out the kinks.
- Sixth grade teachers have started a newsletter that is going home monthly in an effort to increase communication with parents.
- Fifth grade teachers are on a HUGE grant writing campaign! Looking forward to seeing the results!
- We have a new addition to 5th grade. Pascal the Hedgehog is now residing in Mrs. Sanders class. He is adorable!

You've Been Snowballed Game
The Celebration Committee will be starting a You've Been Snowballed Game in the spirit of the giving season. The directions for the game are as follows: 1) You will receive a You've Been Snowballed sign and small gift (less than $1.00 ex. candy bar, coke, holiday pin etc.) Enjoy your gift. 2) Cut out and place the You've Been Snowballed sign on your door or in a visible window. 3) Choose someone to snowball and provide a "goody". 4) Secretly deliver to a coworker that has not yet been elf-ed. Keep an eye on the doors to see how quickly the game spreads. A Google Form will be shared today. Please fill it out asap so that we know who wants to play along! This will start on Tuesday, December 9th!
