Sites Celebrate Success

As each of the 11 Carmel Clay elementary schools continue to enjoy the success of the program, the Site Celebrations have hit full stride at many of the schools. On October 13, Orchard Park's Fall Festival proved to be a Site Celebration achievement! Parents and students alike were wowed by the magnificent show put on by C.R. Ryan the Magician, who was also the D.J. for the evening. C.R. Ryan prompted families to the dance floor with hits like the "Electric Slide" and the "Macarena." The celebration also included homemade chili, served by ESE staff, crafts, raffles and door prizes. Throughout the school year, each of the 11 elementary schools will host five Site Celebrations to display the success of the ESE students.
