This Friday is our last day of school. We will be dismissing at the 11:10 am time. Students will be unable to stay after school as the staff will be in a meeting and will begin their checkout processes. Our secretarial staff will be available to answer questions and support as normal.

We know the last week of school brings excitement for students and are working to help them finish strong. Please check in with your student on any schoolwork that they may need to finish prior to Monday.

Please come and join us in our last Strings Concert of the year Tuesday at 7 pm in the CMS Commons. We are excited to see the growth our students have made under the supervision of Alvina Olstead. Mrs. Olstead will be finishing her year and officially retiring from this position. We were so fortunate to have a teacher with the quailty background that Mrs. Olstead has. We are also very grateful for her generosity and care for the program and its' students.

The Centralia Middle School Prevention Club created a Radio Ad to encourage students to make healthy choices. This work was headed by Mr. Rick Miranda who is our True North counselor and Sara Bumgardner, Centralia Prevention Coalition. The radio ads will be heard on KMNT-FM at the following times:

We want to thank the ESD113, Centralia Prevention Coalition, and the Lewis County Department of Health & Social Services for their efforts to provide this opportunity.

This Thursday, CMS will be having the end of year Honor Assembly. Staff will be recognizing students in different areas and we will be drawing for prizes for those students who turned in their YellowJacket tickets. Any prize that is too big to take on a bus will be held in the front office for pick-up through June.

(Due to limited seating, parents of students who are honored for departmental awards or other honors will be invited to attend via mail. Letters were sent out on Thursday. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office, 360-330-7619.)

We are still accepting Chromebooks! Please bring your child's chromebook directly to the front office.

Students will be turning in the Chromebooks that were issued to them for home use next week. Please do the following this week:

• Locate Chromebook
• Locate charging cord
• Check for damages
• Wipe down with a wet cloth or alcohol wipe (no cleaners please)

Links to the Centralia School District user agreement, Fee Schedule for the 21-22 School Year, and board policies that outline our procedures are listed in the Resource Section of this newsletter. Please feel free to call if you have any questions, 360-330-7619.

Yearbooks will be distributed on the last day of school. On this day, we have time set aside for students to attain notes from the friends and staff that are important to them. Students will receive their yearbook in their classroom and then be able to move about to connect with others.
