Give Me 5: Goal Setting
CES students are setting goals and crushing them! This year at CES we implemented the Give ME 5 program. This program encourages students to set goals and track their individual progress. Those who reach their goals are rewarded after each test! Rewards have included, popsicles, extra recess and pretzel rods! We are so proud of our students who have already reached their goals and those who are continuing to work to get there.
4th Grade These students reached their Math Give Me 5 Goal. | 4th Grade These students reached their Reading Give Me 5 Goal. | 3rd Grade These 3rd Grade students met their Give Me 5 Goal. |
Counselor's Corner
NED: In November the Ned Show came to CES and taught our students about Growth Mindset while also enjoying humor, magic and yo-yo ticks.

- Never giving up
- Encouraging others and
- Doing their best
