Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
On behalf of the Centerville Elementary staff, I wish you a safe and happy holiday season! We feel so fortunate to work with your children. We have enjoyed seeing them so excited this last week as they searched for hidden gingerbread men around the school, worked on fun holiday projects, and participated in a school-wide sing-along complete with Silly String and pies to the face. The joy on the kids’ faces was a true gift.
If you happen to take a few photos, please send them my way. I would love to see how the kids spent their break.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken

Volunteer Spotlight: Meredith Dahl
My children’s classrooms
Why did you decide to volunteer at Centerville?
By volunteering, I am able to support the teaching staff with the fun projects and classroom celebrations that happen throughout the school year. I also want to teach my own kids about the value of volunteering and giving back to the community.
What is your favorite part about volunteering?
The best part about being in the classrooms is the one on one time with the kids. I enjoy the many conversations and listening to their answers. It is very rewarding to see their creativity, joy, and confidence grow as the year goes on.
