Mark your calendars because we are counting down to the Colbert Elementary Fall Festival on Friday, October 25 from 6:00-8:00 PM!

Mrs. Archer's 5th grade classes completed the team building challenge "pipe racers". Their communication and determination was awesome!

A student’s grandmother donated green grapes to Mrs. Thurman's kindergarten class. It was the perfect treat to help learn about the letter Gg and to help with counting in math.

Please join us for the 5-year strategic plan meetings

We were so excited to meet local author Emily Gaddy on Friday! She talked to students about the writing process, read her amazing book "Go Bulldogs!" and helped us Call the Dawgs!

See you bright and early tomorrow 4th Grade families!

Did you know that each year, Colbert Elementary gives scholarships to graduating seniors that attended CES? That's right! We were able to help three MCHS seniors with college expenses last year, and we'd like to help even more Cougar alumni this year. You can donate to this scholarship fund through MyPaymentsPlus. It's a quick and easy way to make a difference! https://www.mypaymentsplus.com/welcome

Homecoming Spirit Week is next week, and we want to show our MC Pride! Take a look at the upcoming spirit dress up days so you can plan ahead!

Boxtops for Education has gone all digital! We used to have to clip the Boxtops from the products that had them. But, now its as easy as taking a picture of your receipt after you shop to earn money through the BTFE program. Download the Boxtops app to your phone and scan receipts for Colbert Elementary to earn money for extra supplies and books for the library this year! This app works similar to Fetch and Ibotta and asks you to designate Colbert Elementary to earn the Boxtops that you earn by purchasing participating products. You can also choose a student to receive the credit if you want. Digital receipts of online shopping from various retailers also can count. Every participating product listed on the receipt will earn 10 cents, with bonus multiple earnings possible each month. All bonus offers are listed under the Explore Bonus Offers tab. Every Box Tops counts!

We love our alumni and are extra thankful for those that have come back to serve in our district! Heather Saye from the Class of 2018 is a kindergarten teacher at Ila Elementary School. 👏👏 Fun fact: "I used to be a part of the Madison County Livestock Show team."💚 Thank you for all you do!🫶 #loveMadison
