Dear CES,
We had a positive short week of school! Hopefully, in the future the weather will start cooperating and we will be able to get back into a routine at school. Reading every night for at least 20 minutes and playing basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) games is a great way to help ensure your students have a successful transition back to school when days are missed due to weather.
Next week PTA has organized a wonderful spirit night at Chuck E. Cheese. The money raised from this event is very beneficial to the school and PTA. It allows us to send your students on field trips and other educational activities. We hope to see you there!

This past week our students focused on Prudence.
Prudence means that you plan for the future and achieve your goals by making careful everyday choices. Prudence is the ability to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason. It's a future-oriented way of thinking that helps a person set goals, make plans, and have the discipline to accomplish them. It is cognitive – more a strength of the head than of the heart.
Prudence is not simply being excessively cautious or self-restrained. And, while it is often exemplified through individual financial savings, prudence applies to all parts of life. Philosophers have discussed the strength for millennia. Aristotle wrote about phronesis or “practical wisdom” which allows us to properly use other character strengths. And, according to Dr. Chris Peterson, the Christian theologian Thomas Aquinas “named prudence as the principle wisdom, with bravery subordinate to it. It is prudence that provides the wisdom to assess danger; bravery then allows reason to prevail despite fear.”
Thank you for your continued partnership!
