Hello CSE Families!
We are having Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday, November 17th. Last week we sent home forms for you to complete if you plan to attend. It is very important that we receive this form with your money as we need to give a count to our cafeteria staff.

We look forward to having lunch with you!
Hello CSE Families!
On November 11, 2022, Veterans’ Day, Senator David Wallace presented CSE with a new USA and Arkansas State flag. Osceola High School JROTC Cadets did the honor of replacing the old flags with the new flags. Some of CSE’s students participated in observing the JROTC Cadets lowering and raising the flags.
CSE sincerely thanks Senator Wallace, Councilman Tyler Dunegan, and OHS JROTC Cadets and staff for the presentation of flags.

School and Group Lesson Plans and Resources
Lesson plans and resources developed in partnership with LRSD and Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS). We invite all Arkansas schools and youth groups to participate and present these lessons teaching peacemaking skills to the youth in our state.
Please share this with children and organizations you know. Schools, teachers, faith groups and other youth organizations are encouraged to sponsor and guide students with their submissions.
We began these programs in 2017 when Pax Christi Little Rock (PCLR) worked with school counselor Mildred Calhoun to develop a peace curriculum for Little Rock’s Rockefeller Elementary. The following year we worked with Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) and Little Rock School District to expand these non-violence lesson plans and resources for elementary age students. In 2021 over 15,000 students participated from Little Rock School District, Pulaski County Special School District, and many private schools.
Today schools and students from all over the state participated in Peace Week. In our first year of the Peace Week Art Contest and Peace Week Essay Contest we had over 500 entries from all over the state: from Bella Vista to McGehee and Blytheville to Eldorado.
In 2022 we seek to continue offering the programs all over the state.

A message from Chartwells
Hello families!
Chartwells is the company that provides lunch to our students. This past Friday, they surprised the CSE staff and students with a pop-up discovery kitchen. Chartwells brought their cosmic apples and astronaut, Brannon Kelly, to our school. The students were excited to meet and talk with him. There were high-fives, smiles, and so many curious questions about space! Brannon not only came to them with open arms and a smile, he also answered all of their questions, leaving them wanting more and learning at the same time. Of course this couldn't be done without the help of the Osceola cafeteria staff, the administration, and Chartwells’ event coordinator, Omika Humphrey, who assisted Brannon throughout the entire process.
Their fresh sweet apples are not only a taste of what they can bring, but a discovery as well. Chartwells states that they are dedicated to living by its name and will always serve happy and healthy food to the administration, staff, and most importantly, the students.
Be sure to keep your eye out on more discovery kitchens throughout the semester!
