Mavericks Cook Club kicked off this past Tuesday at CC-E. The 3rd-6th grade after-school club found students baking tasty apple pie/caramel treats and shaking their way to homemade ice cream. They also learned about kitchen safety and how to follow a recipe. Can't wait to see what our Mavs whip up next!







Election Night Soup & Dessert Supper. Come to the CCE lunchroom and let us serve you supper from 4 - 7PM.

Students Receive Fishing Poles Through the Jim McDonnell Scholarship Program
Students were recently awarded fishing poles through the Jim McDonnell Scholarship, a program dedicated to encouraging youth involvement in outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship. The scholarship honors the legacy of Jim McDonnell, an avid outdoorsman and advocate for introducing young people to the joys and benefits of fishing.
The fishing poles were presented to students from the Jim McDonnell Scholarship Program. By providing this opportunity, the Jim McDonnell Scholarship aims to foster lifelong appreciation for nature, teach patience and responsibility, and inspire the next generation of anglers.
Educators expressed gratitude for the program’s impact on students, noting that hands-on experiences like fishing can help develop confidence, focus, and respect for the environment. The scholarship not only provides equipment but also promotes the values of community, sustainability, and healthy outdoor recreation that Jim McDonnell championed throughout his life.
This initiative continues to connect students with nature—one fishing pole at a time.

Mavericks Create wrapped up their final art club sessions in October. The CC-E 3rd-6th graders crafted graffiti art and completed painting their ceramic works. Thanks to Ms. Holtz who assisted with this afterschool club. Fantastic job, Mavericks, in flexing your creative muscles!










Friday was a great day to play soccer during K-2 recess!




CCE would like to give a great big Shout Out to the community members who assisted with the wagon rides at the Family Fun Night in Everly yesterday. Dave Rayner with the Royal Lions Club cheerily delivered the spacious Lions Club trailer, Josh Griffin graciously lent us his gorgeous tractor, and Rob Hurlburt (along with his wife) skillfully motored excited riders along Everly streets last evening. The wagon rides were a crowd favorite. Thanks to each of you for making this fantastic event even better!
