Cedar Grove Elementary’s Vex Robotics Team has had the privilege to participate in robotics competitions with elementary schools throughout Anderson School District One for the past couple of years. These competitions are provided by Matt Taylor and his team of students from Wren Middle School, who take time out of their schedules to introduce elementary students to an interest they may want to pursue in middle school.
This year, the first place winners of the competition were teams from Powdersville Elementary and Hunt Meadows Elementary. CGES is proud to announce that one of our teams (The Wild Tires) came in second place, along with Spearman Elementary. All of our students worked extremely hard building their robots, learning how to drive them, and figuring out how to earn maximum points in the competition. Congratulations to our team from Mrs. McDade (STEM Teacher) and all CGES staff and students!
Robotics Team Members - Back Row : Mrs. McDade, John Chandler Skipper, Colton Cejka, Laken Dare, Brison Carmack, Holden Shaw, Michael Hughes, Tucker Kaylor. Front Row : Elijah Basic, Cypress Merritt, Zach Jennings, Ace Calvert, Roger Duran, Jay Garner

Cedar Grove Pom wrapped up their 2025 season earlier this year with so many exciting moments!
This year's captains were Addi Rhae and Jessi who lead the team with 5 new stunt groups in their performance at Palmetto Middle School with lots of support from some of our favorite teachers cheering us on!
The girls took on their first community service project and sold 1,000 lollipops and raised $500 to support our local Happy Wheels program with Prisma Children's Hospital. We ended the season with our awards banquet with Scarlet being honored with the sponsorship award for next season.
We cannot wait till next season starts!
