Central Park Elementary
Tagline: A STEM Exploration School
School Spirit at Central Park Elementary
We've named our school and have the tagline! The next step is to write a school song, design a logo and create a mascot. MPS has very talented educators and students to help us with these projects. Barbara Jacques, music teacher at Carpenter has written school songs in the past and has agreed to write the song for Central Park Elementary. She will be talking with students at both schools to gather ideas for the song.
Shannon and I will be visiting Curt Gledhill's Commercial Art class at Dow High School to share the philosophy of Central Park Elementary, which should spark ideas to create the logo and mascot. We will present to the class on November 1.

MSU STEM Center Facility
On October 18, several MPS staff members, K-12 will tour the MSU STEM Center Facility. The lab is where the Central Park staff will train prior to our opening in the fall of 2017. We were limited to the amount of people that could attend the initial tour, please know that all staff will use this facility when we begin trainings this school year. We are so fortunate to have the DOW foundation and MSU supporting our learning with this laboratory located next to the
Grace A. Dow Library.
