Proud of our Center graduates!
It was another action packed week at Center as we head into the last few weeks of school. The next 9 days are full of fun events, so be sure to look through the calendar below.
It was wonderful to have a full house for our first Center Arts and Culture night. We certainly have many talented artists and musicians at Center. It was also wonderful seeing so many supporting our library by shopping for books. We are blessed to have so many passionate readers among us! A big thank you to Ms. Engdahl, Ms. Glennon, Ms. Huguet, and Mr. McGillicuddy for planning this spectacular event. Thanks also to the many parent volunteers who made this possible.
ALICE drill the week of June 6- 10th
One measure we take in Chelmsford to ensure student safety is practicing ALICE drills. During the week of June 6-10, we will be conducting our final ALICE drill of the school year. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. This is a research based, options-based protocol that is non-sequential to respond to a dangerous individual at school. We have collaborated with the Chelmsford Police and Fire Departments on this drill to ensure we are engaging students and staff in a developmentally appropriate experience.
After we conduct the drill, we will send a communication to inform you when it has occurred. Should you have any questions about ALICE or about this drill, either leading up to the drill or after you have been able to debrief with your child, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Book Swap
Consider bringing in your gently used books for our book swap when you join us for Center's Culture and Arts Festival on Thursday. We have very few donations currently and won't be able to host the book swap on field day if we don't have a sufficient amount.
Please place your books in the boxes provided.
