CSE Parents, please mark your calendars! We are excited to invite you to our Open House on Tuesday, August 4, starting at 5:00 PM.
Today, CSE first and second grade students had the opportunity to participate in an exciting ATLAS Pep Rally! During the rally, students were cheered on, encouraged, and motivated to do their very best on the ATLAS test, which begins tomorrow, April 22nd and continues on April 23rd. Each class played an active role by performing cheers, chants, and dances. Students also sang along and moved to upbeat songs focused on the importance of giving their best effort on the test. Throughout the event, students were introduced to powerful words of encouragement to help them stay focused and confident. We were especially honored to have three Seniors from our state championship basketball team to share inspiring and motivational words with our students, encouraging them to work hard and believe in themselves. Students also received uplifting encouragement from Principal Holmes centered around three key words: Focus, Try, and Believe, reminding them that they have everything they need to succeed. The pep rally was kicked off by the CSE Steppers, under the direction of Assistant Principal Bowles. Their performance energized the crowd and reinforced the message of doing their best on the ATLAS test. At the conclusion of the rally, students were celebrated in a special way as third and fourth grade students lined the hallways, cheering them on as they returned to class. This show of support created an unforgettable moment of unity and encouragement. Students were also reminded of the importance of reaching their goal of 1060. Mr. Butler and Coach Allen kept the energy high throughout the event with music and engaging crowd activities. Overall, the ATLAS Pep Rally was a powerful and positive experience that left our students feeling confident, supported, and ready to succeed!
