Centennial's FIRST EVER UNITY WEEK
Last week CHS had its first ever UNITY WEEK! Each day a different culture provided a lunch time activity and was spotlighted at lunch. On Thursday, we had our first ever UNITY RALLY which recognized and celebrated all of the different cultures we have at Centennial. The rally included fashion shows with explanations and descriptions of traditional dress as well as student performances of traditional activities or cultural dances. It was such an amazing week!!!
VIRTUAL BUSINESS IN NEW YORK
The Virtual Business team had an amazing trip to New York! The MendTality team competed in the Virtual Enterprise National Business Plan, Marketing, Human Resources, and Finance competitions - the only school from California to qualify to compete in all four competitions!
