Principal's Corner
Wow! March did not disappoint! Our CES students spent hours reading books all month long. I'm excited to see the results of our hard work over this past month when we move into our next assessments. I enjoyed seeing all of the photos on Face Book of you reading with your children and your children reading to siblings! I hope you get some well needed rest and relaxation during Spring Break. Whether you are going away on a quick trip, taking a week long vacation or just having a staycation at home all week I hope you are able to spend time together as a family. I have posted some fun things below you can do during Spring Break if you are staying home.
Enjoy!
Spring Break Staycation Ideas:
- Family Movie Night
- Test a new recipe together
- Host a family fashion show
- Lego building competition
- Have kids make art then have an Art Show
- At-Home Spa Day
- Scavenger Hunt around the neighborhood
- paint rocks
- Start an indoor garden

Breakfast and School Arrival Time
Attendance Matters!
Showing up to school greatly impacts a student's academic success. Families play a crucial role in ensuring that a student gets to school safely and on time daily. We understand that absences are unavoidable, such as illness or medical appointments. Please call in advance if your child will not be in school.

Counselor Corner
Hi Little Eagles!
I hope everyone has a restful Spring Break! You all deserve this break to rest and come back refreshed to rock the rest of the year out! We will start small groups back up when we return from break and work on social skills and worry as we near the end of the year.
Career Day will be Thursday, April 27th this year.
Please reach out if you are interested in participating, I am in need of many volunteers still!
April 27th is also our ART of Feelings after school class for those who are signed up.
* This month our Character Trait focus is: Determination *
We will be focusing on always trying your best, and not giving up. Learning from your mistakes, thinking before we act and setting goals.
Defined as: Never giving up, no matter what!
Please feel free to reach out if you are in need of resources or if there is a way I can support your student or family this year. ashley.phelps@myeagles.org or 517-769-8557.

Nurse's Corner
I hope you all have a fun and relaxing spring break.
With Spring upon us we will see more seasonal allergy symptoms showing up. To be sure it’s just allergies and nothing more here is a link to a great chart from the Allergy and Asthma Network https://www.allergyasthmanetwork.org/coronavirus-what-you-need-know/. Scroll down the homepage about half way and you can click on the chart that shows you the difference between Allergy Symptoms vs COVID-19 vs The Flu.
Volunteers Needed
We are still in need of volunteers for Mileage Club for the month of May. Please consider volunteering so we can make this happen for our Littles. You can sign up using the link below:
