🌟 WOW Wednesday Spotlight: Celebrating Creativity & Kindness! 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating two amazing educators who inspire our students in unique and powerful ways!

🎨 Ms. Parsons – CCHS Art
Her students explore what Peace means to them through the Lions International Peace Poster Contest. This year’s theme, Together as One, brought out incredible talent and reflection — with three students advancing to the next level!

💛 Ms. Rigney – CCES 5th Grade
Her Wall of Positivity invites students to lift one another up by sharing kind, encouraging notes throughout the year — spreading joy and building a culture of care across the school.

Together, they show how creativity and kindness make CCPS shine! ✨

Our Charles City Panthers truly kicked off senior year in style!

The Class of 2026 spent the night at school for our Senior Lock-In, and the energy was unmatched 💙💛
From games and music to movies, snacks, and late-night laughs — our seniors made memories that will carry them all the way to graduation. A huge thank-you to our incredible staff and deputies for making this safe, fun celebration possible!
The excitement continued bright and early with our Senior Parent Breakfast, where families helped cheer on our seniors as they begin their final year of high school.
Here’s to a year full of success, unity, and Panther Pride!
Class of 2026 — it’s your time! 🐾🎓
