CCE Grinch Day!
“And what happened, then? Well, in Whoville they say – that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!” –How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Mrs. Shayna passed the trophy to Mr. Hooper because she truly appreciates all he has done for our school from getting the new Rooms app up and running to taking students to visit different colleges.

December 2 was Special Education Day and while we weren't in school on Saturday, we wanted to take today to celebrate the incredible dedication our our special education teachers and the vital work they do to support our students.
Special Education Day commemorated the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) into law in 1975. This landmark legislation marked a turning point in ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, have the right to receive and free and appropriate public education.
Although Special Education Day has passed, let's carry the spirit forward and continue to champion an environment where every student feels supported and empowered.
I love smiling, smiling is my favorite!
