Dear Center Community,
Many thanks to the Rotary Club for gifting dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in Chelmsford!
Staff Updates
We are sad to share that Shayla Larose has tendered her resignation. Ms. Larose, also known as the rainbow teacher, for the warm and welcoming classroom environment she created, has made the difficult decision to take a leave from teaching to have more time with her new family. We wish her all the best. We will begin the search to fill her position this week, and will provide updates as we have them.
Center Cares
Dear Center Families & Staff,
As we approach the holiday season the Center Cares program at Center School is accepting gift card donations to help our families that especially need some extra support. Gift cards in $20-$25 increments (or any amount) from Target or Walmart would be most welcome! The donations are helpful not just at the holidays, but though out the year as families face unexpected hardships.
Please, if you are able to make a donation, gift cards will be accepted at the front office.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and care.
Warm regards,
Ms. Lallas, M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Center School Counselor
Pronouns – She/Her/Hers
Staff members show their care and concern for the community in other ways as well. 9 staff members gave their own time on Wednesday to be CPR trained. Our school community will certainly be in good hands!
Center Chirps:
- Tomorrow is a kindness spirit day!!
- The Center gift room opens tomorrow. Each class is scheduled to attend for a half hour during the week. Your teacher(s) should notify you of the day. We ask that only those who signed up to attend.
Warm Regards,
Dianna and Donna
