Greetings CES,
We had a busy but incredibly successful week at Challenger Elementary! Our 2026 Red Ribbon Week was a wonderful experience, and our scholars enthusiastically embraced the theme while learning valuable lessons about making healthy, safe, and positive choices. A special thank-you to Ms. Watson for her hard work and dedication in organizing such a meaningful week for our CES family!
We also want to give a huge shout-out to Mrs. Boykin and our PBIS Team for planning an amazing First Quarter PBIS Celebration! Thank you for creating opportunities to recognize, reward, and celebrate our scholars for demonstrating positive behaviors and making great choices.
I am so proud of our scholars and grateful for the faculty & staff members who continue to make each week at CES special. Together, we are making this school year our best performance yet!

Get ready to celebrate the beauty of diversity, culture, and community at our upcoming International Night on November 3!
