Chillicothe Elementary School kicked off spring break with a fun-filled staff Easter egg hunt! The morning began with a special surprise as Bunny Bill greeted students at arrival, spreading smiles and spring cheer throughout the building.
We hope all of our CES families enjoy a relaxing and refreshing spring break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on April 22nd as we gear up to finish strong during the final four weeks of the 2024-25 school year

A special shout out to Shannon Mason, PTO executive member, for turning this dream into a reality and helping every Hornet feel a part of something special.
Thank you for filling our halls, school, and community with spirit, pride, and unity—Go Hornets!
Today marks our final Warrior Wednesday of the 2024-2025 school year!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Kim Taylor for her dedication in organizing and promoting patriotism at CES all year long.
From red, white, and blue spirit to honoring those who serve, you’ve helped our Hornets show their pride in meaningful ways.
Way to go, CES—patriotism lives strong in our hallways thanks to you!
Congratulations to our outstanding CES students who were honored this evening by the American Legion for their powerful essays!
This year’s theme—“What Does America the Beautiful Mean to Me Regarding Our Veterans and Military?”—inspired heartfelt reflections from our young writers.
We’re proud to celebrate our 4th grade winners: Emmett Jeffries, Clara Kerr and Hadlee Beck, and our 5th grade winner: Harlow Rardon.
Way to represent, patriotic Hornets! Your voices proudly honor those who serve.
We’re “egg-cited” to welcome some fluffy new friends to CES! So far, seven baby chicks have hatched and are officially part of our school flock. Chirps and cheers all around!

Show your support for our military and emergency responders by wearing red, white, and blue or camo. Let’s end strong and honor our heroes together! 🇺🇸
CES was excited to welcome the Class of 2038 for Kindergarten Orientation!
Our future Hornets explored their new school, met their amazing teachers, and got a sneak peek at all the fun and learning that’s ahead. We can’t wait to watch them grow and shine at CES!
Our 3rd graders are hard at work creating robotic hands! As part of their lesson, they’re learning how tendons and ligaments help our real hands open and close. It’s a hands-on way to explore both science and engineering.
Thank you, Coach Dixon, for always making health and PE lessons come to life in such meaningful and engaging ways!

Today is National Siblings Day!
Pictured are just a few of the many siblings who get to attend CES together. Since becoming one school this past year, we’ve seen so many wonderful benefits—not only for parents who now have all their elementary students in one place, but especially for the students themselves.
Siblings arriving together, sharing hugs and encouragement before class, and catching glimpses of each other throughout the day has brought such warmth to our halls. There’s something truly special about the reassurance that comes from knowing your big or little sibling is just down the hall. It’s been a heartwarming part of our CES community and a beautiful glimmer in our days!
