Yesterday our Maverick Theatre Club put on their winter performance entitled "The Wild Wild West." This original play was written by CCE students Dorothy Toft, Kallie Campbell, Lilly Geerdes, and Emily Trierweiler! On top of being such a beautifully flowing, entertaining, well-written script...the story was engaging, hilarious, and fun for all! The Maverick Theatre Club members did a beautiful job, on and off stage. From narrators, sheriffs, and prop-masters to prisoners, thieves, and bank tellers...it was easy to see the immense talent and hard work these Mavericks dedicated to such a fantastic show! Congratulations to our Mavericks on their wonderful play and performance. We immensely enjoyed it and are SO proud of you!

Thanks to these great Maverick leaders for helping at the Everly Festival of Trees. 🌲 Great work, kids!

We round off the week by introducing you to our FANTASTIC new preschool teacher, Mrs. Spengler! We love her so!

We SO enjoyed bringing the whole school out to carol around Royal this morning for business's holiday open houses! Thank you to Home State Bank, Fredericks Restaurant, and Royal Public Library for hosting us and to all of the many businesses and community members who are such positive influences and supporters of CCE! We are grateful for each of YOU!

Chad Elliott not only put on an outstanding performance for our Mavericks, but he also stayed for a songwriting workshop following school today! The students wrote a song together and Chad composed the instrumental backing, together creating a truly one of a kind Maverick masterpiece! Watching the students learn the art of songwriting plus start to have things click such as the organization of verses, refrains, and how to convey heart of a song lyrically was a truly fun and beautiful thing to witness! Our Mavericks are SO talented! Chad allowed our students to take the reins and effortlessly guided them to songwriting excitement! They can’t wait to write more and are eager to see what else they can do with the creative skills and knowledge learned today. Thank you, Chad, for visiting CCE and making such an artistic and creative impact on our Mavericks! We are thankful for you!

Today our Beyond the Bell guest was singer, songwriter, artist extraordinaire and jack of all trades Chad Elliott! Chad completely captivated our Mavericks with his story telling today! His concert performance was down to earth, relatable and creative! He dared our Mavericks to dream, imagine and create their own music and stories. The music room was a giant sing-a-long full of laughter and joy. His immense talent and eagerness to share in his storytelling process truly mesmerized our students and staff. We are grateful that Chad allowed the Mavericks a moment to be children and enjoy themselves in song! We had the best time!

Calling all CCE Youth Writers and 5th-6th graders!!! Join us for a Songwriting Workshop with Chad Elliott tomorrow at 3:30-4:30pm in the Lighthouse Room. 🎼 Students-Please remember to bring your permission slips in tomorrow!

The final event of the 2nd-grader's busy day was gingerbread house-making with their families! The students listened to Christmas classics while creating gingerbread house masterpieces with their loved ones and teachers. We were impressed at the beautiful creations made and thank all of those able to attend for coming! We bet our 2nd-graders will sleep well tonight and cherish the memories we made together today!

The 2nd graders have been BUSY today! After caroling and reading in Hartley, they returned to Royal for their annual Winter Tea festivities at former CCE teacher Mrs. Cronk's home! The festivities began with each student making a lovely toast, followed by each showing off their well-practiced manners and enjoying delicious treats served by another familiar face, former CCE teacher Mrs. Larson! We rounded off the evening by singing beautiful carols and Christmas classics with accompanist Sue Brugman! The 12 Days of Christmas was a highlight at the end, with each guest getting to sing a different day! Our Mavericks were wonderful little ladies and gentlemen! Their manners were perfection. From boys pulling out the girl's chairs, to elbows off the table, "please" and "thank you" being regularly recited, and napkins on their laps...it is safe to say that we are SO proud of our amazing Mavericks! A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Cronk, Mrs. Larson, and Mrs. Brugman for hosting this fun and wonderful event. The children enjoyed making memories with each of you that are sure to last a lifetime!

Once caroling was over, the 2nd-graders got out their books to read to each resident! The residents were thrilled to hear our wonderful Mavericks read and our Mavericks truly enjoyed reading to the sweet Community Memorial residents! Our cup is full, and the day has just begun! We are proud of our Mavericks and the many gifts they share with our communities!

Following singing for the nursing home residents, our 2nd-grade carolers headed to the assisted living side and sang for their residents! The festive joy was easy to see and feel this morning!

This morning the 2nd graders headed over to Hartley's Community Memorial Health Center and sang carols all around the nursing home! The residents, students, and staff truly enjoyed starting off their morning in such a festive and fun way! Thank you to Community Memorial Health Center for having us!
