Calendar Confusion

There has been some confusion regarding the dismissal time for the last day before the holiday break, December 19th.  Students will be dismissed at 1:00 PM.   Some IWCS calendars noted this early dismissal time while others did not.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all CAES Families!

Jeremy Wheeler Visits CAES

Jeremy Wheeler, the meteorologist from WAVY-10 visited CAES today to share a presentation about weather with the 2nd graders.  The students loved seeing videos about storm chasers tailing tornadoes and watching footage from Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene.

The best part about the entire presentation...Mr. Wheeler shared that there is good chance of snow this winter....get those sleds ready!!!

Art Project- Elves and the Shoemaker

Many of you probably sent in extra shoes a few weeks ago to Art class.  Well, Mrs. Jinright used them for an extra special art project entitled, "Elves and the Shoemaker".  Check out some of the results...so cool!

Some of our Carrollton Elementary students working hard on their new creations:

Some of the finished products.  Surely these found a special display spot in their homes!

SHS Beta Club Tutors

The Smithfield High School Beta Club has started coming to tutor some of our 3rd graders. Some are even using their newly issued iPads to help our students succeed!

Thanks to the SHS Beta Club for coming to CAES to help our students be the best and brightest students in Virginia!

2nd Grade Chorus Concert

Carrollton Elementary shined as bright as the lights on Broadway on November 13th as the 2nd Grade performed their annual concert.

Here is the video of their finale!

Congratulations to all of the 2nd graders on their hard work and fine performance.  I think that we have a few future X Factor or American Idol Finalists!!!

A special thanks to Mrs. Willard and the rest of the CAES Resource Team for their preparation and hard work in preparing our students for their moment in the spotlight.

Finally, the Lilly Family enjoyed their front row "box" seats with beverage service.  They won the seats at the Isle of Wight Education Foundation Auction on October 20th.  Similar seating packages were also purchased for the 3rd, 1st, and K concerts.  Remember this when the IOWEF has their annual Gala and Auction in October 2013.
