Veteran's Day- Friday, November 11th
Veterans Day is a celebration to honor America's Veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
November 11th is just around the corner and we would like to take the opportunity to honor and acknowledge any veterans that are part of our Central Elementary community!
We'd like to invite any and all of our veterans onto campus on November 11th between 7:20 - 8:00am to help greet our students as they start their day. With permission, we would love to take photos with our Veterans at our 'Proud to be a Pirate' sign. We will have coffee and donuts on hand for our veterans who can make it! Please let us know if you or a family member will be able to join for this! You may email Colter Cox directly at ccox@lcisd.net.
Deck the Halls! 2nd Annual Event at Central Elementary!
Central Elementary Deck the Halls!
Parents,
Central Elementary Community! Let’s Deck the Halls at Central Elementary and bring holiday cheer to our students and staff!
We invite our families to come help decorate our classroom doors for the holiday season! Here’s what you need to know:
Families can only sign up for their child’s homeroom classroom.
Sign-ups to decorate your child’s homeroom class will be on a first come-first serve basis through this google form. (We would love to have everyone involved but only have so much space and time!)
Google Form Link: https://forms.gle/7LY5YGq39qqiEoU29
Sign-ups will open on Monday, November 7th at 4:00pm.
If you sign up, you are committing to decorating an entire classroom door in a holiday theme.
Doors must be school appropriate, with no religious affiliation.
Central Elementary will supply butcher paper for the background. All other supplies must be provided by the family.
4th and 5th grade pod areas: We recommend shoe polish for glass doors. Butcher paper will not hold well.
The window to decorate doors is Nov. 14th through 18th and Nov. 28th through Dec. 2nd.
Decoration Times: Between 8:00-3:00pm or 3:45-5:00 pm. All visitors must still check-in through the front office.
Doors must remain functional and the lock must be accessible by key.
Decorations may not impede student and teacher safety (tripping hazard, fire hazard, etc.)
**Only one family can decorate each door, families will receive a confirmation email from their homeroom teacher. If the first family to sign up has to back out, the next family will be contacted in order of sign up.**
