Students recently celebrated all of their hard work during the first quarter with their class Central Celebrations!



5th grade enjoyed (and survived!) their Fear Factor contest! Mrs. Thacker even got in on the action! :)




Lots of smiles and fun on an Indiana fall day!


Mrs. Shelley is always so patient, caring, and helpful when working with all of our Central students! 😊

Art class at Central is the best!



Central had so much fun celebrating at their Fall parties! Thanks to all of the parent volunteers who helped!

Our kindergartners got to experience their first field trip by visiting Beasley's Orchard to learn all about their apple picking, sorting, and selling process. Thanks to all of the parent volunteers who chaperoned and helped out! We love Fall in Indiana!




Mrs. Price, our librarian, helps bring a joy of learning and reading to our students on a daily basis! She helps our Central CHAMPS to learn how to find good-fit books that match their interests, she introduces them to new books/authors through read-alouds, plus much more!
We think it's pretty neat that our art teacher has the coolest name ever! We love Mrs. Brush and all of the creative ways that she engages our Central CHAMPS and helps them tap into their creativity.
We love our music teacher, Mr. Kamm! He helps our students learn in new and creative ways.
Second graders enjoyed their October odyssey to The Imagination Lab on Friday! We love the unique experiences that the lab brings to students and we LOVE our lead learner volunteers who come and spend time with us at the lab!




Our Central CHAMPS earned a kindness parade on Friday to celebrate all of our acts of kindness and donations received! It's not every day that you see 5th graders this excited! :)
The 4C's are in action daily in Plainfield's schools but The Imagination Lab always takes it above and beyond! Here are some 5th graders designing and printing 3D wobble coins at their Odyssey at The Imagination Lab.
Did you know that you can volunteer at the lab? Just view this website: https://sites.google.com/plainfield.k12.in.us/tilvolunteers
Thanks to our 5th graders in Mrs. Mosier's class for volunteering to help weed our playground garden throughout Central's Kindness Movement! What a great act of kindness this was.




Here are Mrs. Szpeski's and Mrs. O'Connor's classes learning from our school resource officer, Officer Scott, about his job as a police officer. Thank you, Officer Scott, for taking the time to come talk to our kindergartners!




Thank you to the Plainfield first responders who came and visited all of our students during lunchtime! Central students collaborated with Mrs. Brush, our art teacher, to make Thank You cards to give the first responders. It was great to see the smiling faces and for our students to have the opportunity to interact with our local community partners from the PPD and PFT.




Thanks to our community partner Duke Energy for visiting students before Fall Break and bringing their Energy Revolution program! Duke partners with The National Theatre for Children to help promote conservation and energy efficiency education. This organization uses professional actors to teach students about energy efficiency through engaging, comical and informative live theater sketches. Our students LOVED it!
