Chillicothe Elementary Schools has had an amazing year with our Partners in Education!
Partners in Education (P.I.E.) began in 1992 to enhance the bond between the community and educational settings, but most importantly connecting children to their community.
We greatly appreciate all of the businesses that participate in the program as we know it takes time and dedication to be a partner. Thanks for supporting our schools and building a legacy at Chillicothe Elementary School!

Our 1st graders visited the Litton Ag Center today. The Chillicothe FFA visited CES earlier in the year to help students plant flower seeds. Then the FFA cared for those seeds at their greenhouse. Today, first graders got to repot our mature Mother’s Day Flowers. We also got to visit the animals and pond. Thanks Chillicothe FFA!
