We look forward to seeing everyone tonight at Family Fun Night! Please note that a couple of the events do cost money (cash and Venmo). The goal of the evening is to have a little fun and connect as a school community!

Shoe Drive

Below is a picture of the first day of our shoe drive! The PTO has organized a service project that raises funds and helps the environment. Shoe drive started on Wednesday, May 15.

Shoe Drive Procedure:

1. Bring in shoes! The shoes should be gently worn, used and new. Of course, we always love to repurpose shoes that are in the best possible condition. And, we love new shoes best of all!
2. Place the shoes in the container outside of the media center.
3. Each night a PTO rep will check and bag the shoes.

2. Summer EBT Benefit
   In summer 2024, families who were approved for educational benefits for the 2023-2024 school year may receive $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out through a new program through the United States Department of Agriculture. Most families receiving benefits this school year will receive the Summer EBT funds automatically, but some parents will need to apply. See the Centennial website for more information.
3. School Day Schedule Adjustments
   All elementary schools, Centennial Middle School, Centennial High School, and the Centennial Area Learning Center will adjust their start time by five minutes, effective for the 2024-2025 school year. This change allows for more time between the secondary and elementary school schedules to ensure buses run on time.
