    Smile Day: The Best Way to Start the Day!

    In this episode of the CES Student Podcast, we’re talking about one of the best parts of the morning — Smile Day! 😊 Smile Day happens before the school day begins, when students in 1st–5th grade get a chance to have fun and spend time together. Each grade level has an assigned day during the week to participate. On nice weather days, students can go outside or get their laps in for Run Club. When it’s rainy, the fun moves inside the gym with different activities to enjoy. Tune in as our student hosts explain how Smile Day works and share what they enjoy most about this special time before school!

    “March Madness: Battle of the Books!

    In this episode of the CES Student Podcast, students talk about our school’s exciting book tournament inspired by NCAA March Madness!

Students vote for their favorite books in each round, and the books with the most votes move on to the next bracket. Round by round, the competition gets tougher until only one champion book remains! Tune in to hear our student hosts explain how the book bracket works, share their favorite books in the competition, and talk about which stories they hope will win it all.
