SNAKE SKIN FASCINATION!

Thank you to Mrs. Elizabeth Keim who brought in two snake skins for CCES students to observe. She found both fully intact snake skins in her yard, last year and again recently.  Students were able to see the difference between the back and belly scales. Students were also able to see the clear eye caps that protect the snake's eyes since they do not have eyelids.

Pennies For Patients Turns into Dollars of Donations!

As a culminating activity to tie into guidance lessons on service and giving back, CCES students participated in the Pennies for Patients program.  Since 1994, millions of dollars have been raised in pennies and other spare change by more than 10 million elementary, middle and high school students throughout the country. The funds, collected during a three-week period, benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  This is Chase City Elementary School’s first year participating in the program and we are very proud of our student’s efforts.  From our pre-kindergarten students to fifth grade, every classroom participated in the program.  The students of CCES collected $1507.39!

USING MONEY WISELY

Mrs. Lin Jennings (pictured on the right) recently visited Miss Susan Ashworth's second grade classroom at Chase City Elementary School.  Mrs. Jennings read the children a story and emphasized the importance of reading.  She also presented a brief lesson on the importance of saving and using money wisely.  She left each child a book, a packet of educational activities, and various other treats.  Mr. and Mrs. Jim Jennings have adopted Miss Ashworth's class for many years, and their generosity has funded many special activities for her students.
