News from our Legend Building Leadership
Greetings Centennial Academy Heroes,
As the first month of school comes to a close, I want to thank all of our families for assisting us in starting the year off strong. You did this by arriving on time, having your scholar in proper uniform, and sending them to school prepared to learn. This strong start has set us up for success and will carry us through the remainder of the year. We appreciate your partnership.

Convocation:
Convocation for our 8th-grade Emerging Legends is scheduled for Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 10 AM. This Centennial Academy tradition charges our 8th-grade scholars to go into the world and be exemplary models of what a consequential citizen looks and sounds like.
By accepting the Blue Centennial Academy Blazer, scholars are committing to live out Centennial's Core Values of Excellence in Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.
This is a big day for our scholars and our school. Let’s provide them with all of the love and encouragement they need to see it through with success.
More tidbits of Information:
If you have not completed the technology agreement form, please do so as soon as possible. Scholars cannot use a device or the school’s internet without this form! This form is required for all scholars.
Thank you for all that you do. Let’s continue to strive for greatness each day.
Mr. Cedric Thorbes, M. Ed
Assistant Principal, The Upper Academy
Highlight from the Halls
Our First Leadership Day is on the Way!
Leadership Day is a tradition where we celebrate the Academic success of our scholars. We hold this celebration on a monthly basis. Scholars and Staff wear their formal leadership attire. Please see the diagram for examples. The coveted Hero of the Month award goes to scholars exhibiting the HERO traits on a daily basis. We also award classroom trophies to classes that work together to read and earn Accelerated Reader, AR, points, Liveschool points, and Perfect Attendance. We use this day to teach our scholars how to become Leaders through taking accountability in their Leadership Notebooks. New this year, we will also have Synergy Squads where scholars will participate in various activities to enhance their learning potential. Our first Leadership Day is a special Convocation to celebrate our Emerging Legends, 8th grade scholars, with the Blue Coat ceremony.
