Second grade learned all about seeds and NC crops today from the FFA club from Corinth- Holders HS. They even planted their own seeds to take home and grow! Thank you, Ms. Holloman and FFA!
Good evening Pirate families! This Friday, April 4th, The Pirate Singers will be singing The National Anthem, directed by Ms. Lee, to kick off the Mudcats FINAL Opening Night. We have sold enough tickets for Mr. Creech, our PE teacher, to throw the first pitch at this historical event! If we sell even more tickets, we will get the opportunity for Muddy the Mudcat to visit our school, so come join us and bring the whole family! There will be a fireworks show at the end of the game!
The Pirate Singers have been working hard to prepare for this event and we would love to have your support! A portion of ticket sales will be given to back to our music department, so if you would like to join us, please purchase tickets from the link below.

March FLEW by, and at CHES we are ready to welcome April :)
During the month of April, students will learn about physical and mental endurance as they practice healthy habits. These tools will help better prepare them for our end of year events such as testing, field day, and transitioning to the next grade level.
Attached you will find community resources as well as a newsletter to help your student work on their self-esteem alongside our conversations about healthy habits.
Happy (almost) April!

Hello Pirate Families!
I want to take a minute to thank you all for starting our Read Across America week strong! This year, we are taking a retro throwback to the beloved 1980s show Reading Rainbow! We thought it would be fun for our staff to relive a childhood favorite while inspiring our students to develop a love for reading.
Each day, we have exciting dress-up themes and activities planned to celebrate books and the joy they bring. Thank you for your enthusiasm and participation in making this week special!
Stay tuned for more updates, fun challenges, and of course—lots of reading!
Wednesday's theme is to come dressed as your favorite book character.
Keep turning the pages, Pirates!
Time is running out to sign up to read next week to our students for Read Across America!
