A great day for Kindergarten Preview Day
It was a great day to meet future kindergarten friends at Kindergarten Preview Day at all of our elementary schools on October 24. Students and their families enjoyed meeting the principal, touring the school, having a snack in the lunchroom, and playing on the playground. We can't wait to have you join the Centennial community!
Together, we can do great things!
A shout out to our partners in the manufacturing industry who have made donations to support the expansion of the Manufacturing Pathway program.
The used equipment will increase CNC machining capabilities, helping better prepare students for careers in manufacturing.

What do pirates and school lunch have in common?
Ahoy Matey! It was a pirate-themed celebration at our elementary schools to acknowledge National School Lunch Week. Preschool students joined in on the fun, wearing pirate hats while having a snack. The National School Lunch Program offers students fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and fat-free or low-fat milk with every school lunch. The program serves nearly 30 million children in the United States every school day.
Early Childhood recognized with Early Education Innovation Award
Centennial Early Childhood won the Minnesota Association of Family and Early Education Innovation Award for their partnerships with neighboring districts through the Early ID Grant Project. This award is presented to a project that addresses community needs through team work and cooperation.
The primary goal of this project is to increase collaboration with early intervention and the number of three-year-old children screened while decreasing the number of children entering kindergarten unscreened. The grant funds efforts to go out into the community to screen children and to increase awareness of early intervention with daycare providers and families.
We are honored to celebrate how grant funds from Anoka County have been used for the collaborative efforts between St. Francis Area Schools, Centennial Schools and Spring Lake Park School districts to meet the needs of families within our county and schools.
