CES Weekly News

Aviator Families,

Happy New Year! On behalf of our entire Aviator Crew, I am thrilled to welcome you back to Centerville Elementary as we embark on the next chapter of our "Above and Beyond" journey for the 2024-25 school year.

Our students have already soared to incredible heights during the first part of the year, and with your ongoing partnership and support, we’re ready to continue climbing toward even greater success in 2025. Just like a strong flight crew, your involvement and encouragement are vital to ensuring every Aviator has the tools and confidence to navigate their learning journey.

As we take off into this new year, we remain committed to providing a safe, respectful, and engaging environment where your children can explore, grow, and thrive. Whether we’re navigating challenges or celebrating milestones, we are grateful to have you on board for every step of the journey. Here’s to a fantastic second half of the school year, filled with new achievements, meaningful connections, and memorable moments. Let’s keep reaching for the skies together!

Thank you for trusting us to guide your Aviators. Fasten your seatbelts, and let’s make 2025 a year to remember!

Above & Beyond!
