A note from the principal . . .
Hi, Centennial Families!
Thank you so very much to all of our families for a phenomenal year!
This is our final newsletter of the 2022-2023 school year.
We cannot thank you enough for your tireless and unending support of your children and our team. We at Centennial consider ourselves the most fortunate and blessed school staff in our state, country, and possibly, our world--and so much of that is attributed directly to YOU, our amazing Centennial families! Thank you for the privilege of allowing us to love your children and share in this most wondrous and important time of their young lives! You have made this year magical in so many ways. We are extremely grateful and proud of what we have accomplished together this year for the good of children!
In case you missed the presentations for NEXT year's incoming PK & Kindergarten families, please see below:
