At this in-school event, students can purchase small gifts (most under $3) for the holiday season. Participation is optional, and all are given a chance to shop, regardless of if they have funds in hand. Items can be held and you can send in money for Open Shop later in the week.

We could still use some helping hands to keep the Gift Room stocked and organized. Sign up and help us make this unique experience amazing for every student.

THANK YOU to our coordinators: Tiara Duff, Lora Stavolta and Ellen Ellis

Center School, as required by law, has a school council composed of staff members, parents, and a member of the community, if one is available. There should be an equal number of parents and staff members, not including administrators. If there are more interested candidates than openings, the PTO holds an election so parents can choose their representatives.

The council works with school administrators to adopt educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards, identify the educational needs of students attending the school,

review the annual school building budget, and formulate a school improvement plan.

We are fortunate to have two interested parents. Please click here to read their biographies and select one to serve on the council. Council members typically serve a three year term.

Annawon Weeden, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, visited with 4th graders this past Tuesday and Wednesday to share the history and culture of his tribe. Students got a chance to make a Native American corn husk doll, which they got to take home.
