Congratulations to Rhianda Szepski on being named Central Elementary's Teacher of the Year!

Congratulations to Oyin Ambimbola, our Honesty value winner for February!


Happy St. Patrick's Day! We sure are LUCKY to have great students and families that support Central Elementary!



Kindergarten and 5th-grade students enjoying their weekly Book Buddy time!




3rd-grade students in Mrs. A Johnson's class enjoyed making butter and their very own version of Taco Tuesday!



Kindergarten students in Mrs. Pagels' class having fun with phonics with Sleepy Kitty!


We are so LUCKY to have our amazing Central PTO!
They are hiding gold coins in common areas such as the hallways, library, cafeteria, etc. Students can help point out/find gold coins for their teacher. Once a staff member finds 5 coins they get to redeem a prize! There will be 1 winner a day starting Monday March 14th-24th.


4th-grade students in Mrs. Tobey's class used both critical thinking and creativity when learning about theme. Students chose a song from a movie and had to provide evidence as to why they chose their song.



1st-grade students enjoyed their first ever field trip on Friday, visiting the Children's Museum!




Central 1st graders love to read!





Green Eggs and Ham anyone? Central students enjoying their Read Across America lunch on March 2nd.


Just a reminder: School is IN SESSION this Friday! In an earlier version of our school calendar, it was previously noted as a teacher development day. The calendar has since been revised and we are in school on Friday!


Students in 1st grade really worked on collaborating, communicating, critical thinking, and creativity as they were challenged with creating their own Yertle the Turtle and then stacking each of them!



2nd-graders love CHAMPS Club on Wednesday afternoons!


Every year, PHS 4th year Spanish students visit the elementary schools and teach a Spanish lesson to elementary students. The teachers love seeing their former students walking the halls of Central again and the elementary students LOVE learning from high school students! What could be better?!





Last Friday, our wonderful Mr. Wheeler hosted Central's All Pro Dad Breakfast. Over 150 people attended and were served breakfast. It was such a fun time for Central families!


This past week, Mrs. Todd's class Read One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia. The second graders then repurposed plastic bags into friendship bracelets!




Did you know that every month Central students have the opportunity to earn CHAMPS tags?
CHAMPS stands for:
C-caring
H-honesty
A-achievement
M-making good choices
P-prepared to learn
S-safety
Mrs. Thacker and Mrs. Slavens love getting to come into the classrooms to present the CHAMPS tags to students!


1st graders enjoyed their February Odyssey at the Imagination Lab!





Last week, 1st grade students enjoyed reading "Before the Railroad Came" and then dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls to end their special Western-themed week!
