If you’re looking for a chance to get out of the kitchen, look no further! Order from Hungry Howies this Thursday, and support CES in the process. Don’t forget to add on a healthy salad, or a warm, gooey cookie!

Hungry Howies will donate 10% of their sales from 4pm-9pm to the CES PTO so that we can continue to support our teachers and students in 2021. We hope you will join us!

It’s our first week with many students back in the building together. Let’s celebrate with the first Spirit Day of 2021 on Friday. We invite all students (remote academy too!), teachers, faculty, parents & siblings to join the fun! Just grab your CES spirit wear or school colors to wear on Friday. We can’t wait to see everyone over on the CES PTO Facebook page to show off that Cougar pride and school spirit!

Our team of volunteers is hard at work creating a yearbook for this very different school year. Here are a few things you should know!

yearbook Cover Contest

This theme for our annual yearbook cover contest is “Finding Joy.” ​Students are invited to submit their own artwork, and Principal Holbrook will choose the front and back cover winners. We hope that students will share their artwork to express experiences in their lives that make them happy! Here are the rules:

• All entries are due by ​Friday, March 5th​. Students should submit the artwork to their teacher or a copy by email to ​corneliusyearbook@gmail.com​.
• Artwork must be completed by the student only, with no assistance.
• All entries must be on standard 8.5” x 11” white paper and must be vertical! Horizontal entrieswill be disqualified.
• Artwork must include “Cornelius Elementary School” and “2020-2021”.
• Students’ and teachers’ names should be on the BACK of their submissions.
• Do your best, have fun, and make your picture bright and colorful (markers are a great choice)!
