We are excited to announce Churchville Charges On, our senior walk tradition honoring former Churchville Elementary School students who are graduating from high school this spring. This meaningful event gives seniors the opportunity to return to CVES and walk through the halls one last time, celebrating the completion of their educational journey within Harford County Public Schools. As they reflect on how far they have come, their presence also serves as an inspiration to our current students, showing them what lies ahead. Help us spread the word!!!
If you haven’t turned in your order yet, there’s still time. Please make sure all orders are submitted by Monday so we can ensure convenient pick-up before Easter.
Thank you for supporting our school fundraiser! 🍬🌷

Kindergarten writers in Mrs. Reynolds’ class are excelling! ✏️ They are using everything they know about True stories to create amazing pieces. Students added speech bubbles, wrote all the sounds they heard, and even revised their work to bring their writing to life. We are so proud of their hard work! 🌟
Kindergarten (92.11%), 1st grade (91.23%), 3rd grade (90.91%), and 5th grade (92.54%) all met or exceeded our schoolwide goal of 90%. A special shout‑out goes to 5th grade, which led the school with the highest attendance for the week! Our overall K–5 attendance for the week was 90.2%—right on track!
