Congratulations to Ms. Warren's class on earning September's Wonderful Attendance Award. They had the best attendance in the whole school so they earned a pizza party and got to keep the stuffed panther in their classroom for the month. They decided to dress the panther up for Halloween so it's ready to party!

Hello, my name is Liz Castleberry and I am thrilled to be your child's new District Librarian! I am looking forward to helping them become a critical thinker and enthusiastic reader. Central students currently visit the library on Tuesdays and Thursdays, during which time they partake in story time and then have time to browse for new books. Please encourage your child to enjoy and take care of our library materials and return them for more. Also, please enjoy library books WITH your children!

Mr. Dave is our wonderful volunteer who always has a smile and positive words for everyone he sees. He is turning the big 5-0 on Wednesday, November 6th, so show him some love and appreciation for all he does for our students, families, and staff.

Look for your Square 1 Art Fundraiser paper coming home with your child soon! This is an opportunity for you to order items with your child's artwork printed on it. It would make great holiday gifts! All proceeds go directly to the art room to help buy things like clay, glazes and other needed supplies! All orders are online and the directions for ordering are on the form. If you have any questions - please email Mrs. Campbell at hcampbell@parchmentschools.org.

Our first Hungry Howie's fundraiser was a big success, we earned $302.30! Thank you to everyone who ordered pizza especially those in Mrs. Riekena's class,. Their class had the most orders and was the winner of the pizza party.

Our next Hungry Howie's fundraiser day is Monday, November 18th.

We will gladly take whatever candy you don't want from Halloween. We use it for rewards in the office and classrooms.
