RISE AND SHINE: Today was our first Rise and Shine Assembly for our PreK-2nd grade students. Mrs. Birch and Mrs. Young led this assembly with a focus on leadership skills. This year, our students are receiving tickets from adults throughout the building for demonstrating one of the seven habits. The tickets are then turned into the office and names are drawn each week. The students whose tickets are pulled will be recognized at our Rise and Shine Assemblies for helping to “Lead the Way” at CFE. Congratulations to the students who were recognized this week for “Leading the Way”!
SPIRIT WEEK: We are so excited for homecoming next week! Here is what the spirit week leading up to the big game looks like for CFE and the Middle School!
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: This week's Athlete of the week is Zephan Tompkins. Tompkins has scored 6 goals and recorded 2 assists in 4 games. His energy has set the tone for Blue Devil’s soccer. Zephan is a senior and plays midfield. He is a 3-year varsity player and a captain. Zephan was named Greene Tournament All-Star. He is also a standout on our track and field team.
