JCPS Spelling Bee

Our wild and crazy crew representing East Clayton as the "Ageless Spellers Over Decades" at the JCPS Spelling Bee! It is reported that they did a great job and made it past the halfway point!

PTA Meeting of the Minds

PTA meeting in session this morning at ECES. Our parents are very busy planning their activities and budget for the school year. Thank you parents for all you do!

Virtual Field Trip

Mrs. Ellis' students participated in a virtual reality Google Expedition! I bet they didn't realize when they got to school that they would be visiting so many places without ever leaving the classroom. They visited various ecosystems including prairies, tundras, forests, oceans, salt marshes, and deserts. There's no better way to learn about ecosystems than to "visit" them! Students will remember much more about the different ecosystems now that they have "been there".

Text Feature Surgeons

Mrs. Barnes class was busy today performing text features surgery! These little surgeons did a great job saving their patients and reviewing text features! We are so proud of our surgeons and their successful work! Patients have been reported as doing well and on their way to recovery!
