Community Announcement of Strategic Planning Kickoff
Subject: Exciting News: Shaping Centennial’s Future Together
Dear Centennial Families,
I’m excited to share that we are beginning a strategic planning process to shape the next five years of Centennial’s journey and ensure continued success. To guide us through this important work, we’ve partnered with Bellwether, a team of experts with a proven record of helping schools achieve their vision.
This process is about all of us—our scholars, families, and community partners. Your voices are essential to crafting a bold and inspiring vision for Centennial’s future. Bellwether will be gathering input from parents representing all populations of our school, as well as from our scholars and community partners.
The first step in this journey will be a visit from Bellwether on 1/30/25. During their visit, they’ll meet with some of our scholars and begin connecting with our Centennial family. Stay tuned for more information about how you can participate and share your insights!
Thank you for being such an important part of this exciting process. Together, we’ll continue to grow as HEROES today and LEGENDS tomorrow!
With gratitude,
Jessica Olowoyo
Executive Director
