Welcome to the TEAM CES website! We are committed to the excellence and success of our students. Monday, January 3rd was the first day of the changes of morning and afternoon building access. This process went smoothly and we want to thank all of the parents and guardians for their cooperation with this change. We want those parents who bring their child to school to have them here by 7:45 a.m. so that they will not be marked tardy for class by 7:50 a.m.On February 24th, four TEAM CES students competed for the Cumberland County Public Schools Spelling Bee Championship against three middle school students. Our grade level winners were: Dylan Myers - 2nd grade; Rakwon Minter - 3rd; Brian Simpson - 4th; Michaela Woodson - 5th. Through the tough competition and difficult words, 5th grader Michaela Woodson prevailed as the CUCPS Division Champion. Michaela will continue to the state competition at the Library of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia on March 10th. TEAM CES also wants to thank Mrs.O'Bryant for orchestrating the successful event.I want to congratulate the tenth Students of Week for the 2011-2012 school year: Ja'Miya Smith,(Pre-K) Cortez Brooks (Kindergarten), Krystain Graham (1st) Iyana Smith (2nd), Geneva Curtin (3rd), Trevon Butler-Henry (4th), and Grace Rumsey (5th).
