Central Elementary Bits and Bites

As we welcome our new music teacher, we have decided to cancel this year's Christmas program to give our new teacher time to transition into her new position. We are currently practicing our Christmas Carols that students will be singing when we travel across the school communities the last week of school. We thank you for your understanding, as this was not an easy decision to make, but we believe by cancelling this concert, we will be able to fully prepare for an amazing program in the spring!

Parents- please be sure kids are dressed and prepared for the cold conditions. As long as the weather permits, we will be taking our kids outside for recess. If your family is in need of coats, hats, gloves, long pants and tops, please reach out as we have generous donations for this need specifically!

Dear Parents,

We're so excited that our school will be participating in an in-school Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop to spread holiday cheer!

Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop is a fun way for students to shop for family members and experience the spirit of giving while learning to earn, budget, and save! Our shop will be open from Monday,12/9/2024 to THURSDAY, 12/12/2024. We need volunteers to help our kiddos shop within their budget, wrap their gifts (in bags), and to check out our shoppers! The main times will be 12:30-1:30 and 2:45-3:45 M-Th, but any help 12-5 would be greatly appreciated!

Your student will have over 100 delightful gifts to choose from, all ranging in price from $0.50 to $13. This is an amazing opportunity to empower your student to choose, purchase, and give gifts to their loved ones! While your child is having fun shopping, you are also helping raise money for our school.

Please note the date change for our February late start! New date: March 5th!

If you have any needs, concerns, or information you would like the school to know, please use the link below to communicate with us. The appropriate staff member will get back to you based off of your concerns. Thank you!
