Centennial's "Newsday Tuesday"!
Centennial Elementary Families' Weekly Newsletter 5/9/2023
Field Day is this Friday, May 12th!
Hi, Families! Mrs. Cobble and Mrs. Porter are looking for volunteers to help throughout the day for K-5 Field Day this Friday! Please see available time slots and sign up here! Thank you.
- When you arrive, please sign in at the kiosks in the lobby and then meet the PE teachers outside by the gym. Please note that PreK does not yet have "specials" so they will begin participating in Field Day next year!
A note from the principal . . .
Hi, Centennial Families!
Thank you so very much to all of our families for making each member of our Centennial staff feel so very appreciated last week! The abundant meals and goodies you provided so generously made us feel so very blessed and loved! Thank You!
A very special thanks to Kristin Desmond, Jordan Taylor, Andrea Merten, and Jenny Lofton for all the hours and effort you gave to make our Teacher Appreciation Week phenomenal!
Last week, our Centennial PTO proudly presented a $1,000 "Brave Buffalo Scholarship" to former Centennial student, Will Morris! (Please see his photo far below!) Will exemplified being a "Brave Buffalo" and shared how his education at Centennial transformed his character for life! Congratulations to Will, his family, and his teachers! (BIG Thank You to Natalie Burns, Centennial parent, for all of her work on bringing our scholarship dream to life!)
In case you missed last week's presentations for NEXT year's incoming PK & Kindergarten families, please see below:
Centennial STAR Students for our 4th 9-Week Grading Period will be included in this newsletter next week (we were missing a few and wanted to include everyone!) Great job, kids!
We are so grateful that OSTP testing is now completed; 3rd-5th-grade families will soon receive details via email with details about how to access and interpret those assessment results!
Finally, I"m sharing a 12-minute Student Growth data video below, along with summary charts of the exciting academic growth our children at Centennial have achieved this year! Congratulations to all families, students, teachers, and staff... it truly takes a village to accomplish such exciting learning growth. . . thank you!
We appreciate you!
With kind regards,
Ellie Webb, Principal
