Annual 8th Grade Trip to Annapolis
When our students reach 8th grade, they get the opportunity to go on some pretty interesting field trips -- particularly the end-of-year overnight trip! They left for Annapolis, MD this morning after their Awards Chapel and will return tomorrow evening. They have already been enjoying the beautiful summer weather down by the water. We can't wait to hear stories when they get back.

Field Day 2019: The weather was gorgeous, the student-designed shirts were impressive, and the teamwork was a delight to see. Thank you to Mr. Maust for putting it all together; Mr. Lynch, Ms. Stotz and the faculty and parent volunteers for helping out with all the events; and our students who show us that Cardinals sure know how to fly!

A Message from the Head of School:
Dear CES Family,
This morning we held one of the two most moving services of the year, the 8th Grade Awards' Ceremony. It is at this service that the graduates read their essays, "What CES Means to Me." The speeches are always moving, often funny, and without exception they are affirming of the good work we are doing at CES. It is wonderful to hear through the students' perspectives what this special school has meant to them. Whether they have been here since they were three years old or they arrived at CES in the past year or two, they express gratitude and appreciation.
Almost-to-a-student, they mention how grateful they are that CES places a strong emphasis on teaching them the importance of developing strong character. It is touching to me because they also mention the reality that they do not always exhibit what they know to be "good and right." However, they "know," and they are grateful that they have these teachings to take with them as they enter high school...a place where they suspect their character will be further tested. Many of the students mention the rigor of the curriculum and they seem to marvel at all they now know about history, literature, writing, geography, science and mathematics. I marvel, too, as they reference famous quotes and historical events, as well as literary devices, scientific theories and mathematical concepts. Our 8th grade graduates are our pride and joy!
The other incredibly moving service of the year is the Baccalaureate and Graduation ceremony on Friday morning at 10:00am in the church. Not only is it a beautiful service, with all the pageantry of an Anglican service, it is when the entire community comes together to celebrate our graduates and enjoy the final communion service for the school year. Everyone is welcome, so feel free to join us!
This year, there is no rest for the weary. On Saturday morning, the lower school faculty and some of the administrators and staff will be here to finish packing up the Lower School hallways. On Monday morning, the movers arrive to move out all of the green bins and the construction workers begin the initial demolition. Included in this
Cardinal
are two renderings to give you a general idea of what to expect when you return in the fall. We are all so excited and incredibly grateful to all who have made donations and pledges to the capital campaign that is making this possible. We hope to send updates a couple of times through the summer.
Finally, thank you for a successful 2018-2019 school year! I hope that each one of you enjoys a fun and relaxing summer. I look forward to seeing you in the fall and hearing about your summer adventures.
With love and gratitude,

 Our videographer is delayed this year and has informed us that the DVDs will likely not be completed before the end of the school year. When he is done with them, they will be delivered to the office where you can come pick them up. We will let you know once they've been delivered.
We are so sorry for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience.
