Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
As we enter into the Thanksgiving Holiday Week, I want to take a moment to share my gratitude for each of you.
To our families: thank you for trusting us to help your children grow and thrive. Your partnership, encouragement, and support mean the world to us.
To our incredible staff: your unwavering dedication and passion inspire me daily. You pour your hearts into creating a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment for every student, and it does not go unnoticed.
To our amazing kids: you are the heart of our school! Your curiosity, kindness, and excitement for learning remind us why we do what we do. You bring joy to our hallways and classrooms each day, and I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished.
This season, I’m especially thankful for the sense of community we share here at Centerville Elementary—a place where everyone feels valued, welcomed, and respected.
May your Thanksgiving be filled with love, laughter, and memories.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken

Scooter City After School Opportunity
Scooter City is an interactive obstacle course where students can travel through Centerville’s gymnasium on 4-wheel scooters while experiencing a world made for scooters. Students can fish at the fishing hole, swim under the sea, play hockey, get wet in the car wash, shoot baskets, fill up with gas, dance in the disco room, watch a movie at the theater, and much more.
K-5 students will experience Scooter City during gym class but check out the below flyers below for an additional after school opportunity for students.
Proceeds will be used to purchase additional scooter city scooters.
