CES Community Wagoneer

Dear CES Families

We all wish you a happy and healthy summer and look forward to seeing you back at CES in August.

School begins again on Wednesday, August 30th. Reminder, incoming Kindergarten days, August 30, 31st, and 1st of September are 1/2 days with dismissal at 11:30 AM each day for K students only. More to come this summer.

Also, please be on the lookout for more information coming regarding the WNESU Summer Program at WCS and BFMS this year. The bus stop times and locations will soon be sent out to all. If you have any questions after this information is released, please let me know at kerry.kennedy@wnesu.com or reach out to Heather Murphy Hicks at heather.murphyhicks@wnesu.com.

We wish our outgoing Fourth Graders much success at BFMS and we welcome our incoming Kindergartners to CES!

Be Safe and Have fun!

Kerry S. Kennedy, C.A.G.S., M. Ed.

Nurse Notes:

If your child has Emergency Medications such as Epi Pens, Inhalers etc.. or daily medication here at school, please stop in to pick it up on the last day of school. This is especially important if your child is moving up to 5th grade and will no longer be here at Central Elementary. I need to be able to send the medication with an adult and not on the student themself. I hope you all have a healthy and safe summer! I look forward to seeing you all in the Fall.

Kona Ice came on the last day of school! We had visitors, experts in their fields. Author/illustrator Jason Chin came to talk with students as well as our own BF Police Department!

The Central's Farm to School Team was awarded the title of Farm to School Champions for this year by Food Connects. The Farm to School Champion "works to take the extra mile, works as a team to grow the program and for serving as examples of what a successful Farm to School program looks like."

This spring Central was able to, thanks to the generous support from the Agency of Education, provide high quality field trips to all grades at CES this spring. Students taking field trips is a true learning experience. See below for the highlights of each experience!

Big stuff was happening for 4th grade this spring. In addition to the Move Up ceremony, students went to Boston to the science museum!

For their field trip, 3rd grade visited the Billings Farm, an outdoor history museum and fully functioning dairy farm. They also went on a spring hike to the Pinnacle in Westminster West.

A Whale of a Good TIme!

First grade went on two field trips this spring. The Montshire Science Museum and The Springfield Zoo!

Kindergarten went on their spring field trip to The Eric Carle Museum!

Students in 4th grade hosted the 2nd annual cardboard arcade. The students worked diligently using the engineering design cycle to create playable games made out of recycled materials and cardboard.

Although we were sad Mrs.Daignault couldn't be with the fourth grade, she put a tremendous amount of work in getting fourth grade ready for their Moving Up ceremony by teaching them 2 songs and rehearsing with them. Thanks Mrs. Daignault!

Kindergarten learns the many different ways they can stay healthy!
