Centennial's "Newsday Tuesday"!
Centennial Elementary Families' Weekly Newsletter 4/11/2023
A note from the principal . . .
Hi, Centennial Families!
We hope that you will join us for Centennial's Family Fun Night this Friday, from 5:30-8:30!
Even if you are unable to attend, you may still participate by purchasing raffle tickets for the amazing Raffle Baskets and Goodies!
Just a reminder...
It's time, already, to think about planning for our next school year!
(We will finish this year strong, of course, but we need your help to set us up for success next school year!)
To create the best classes for each student next year, please provide valuable feedback regarding your child's individual needs.
This survey will be closed on Friday, April 21.
We've already had several parents sign up to assist in the cafeteria; thank you! We'd love to have your help in the Cafeteria!
With kind regards,
Ellie Webb, Principal
