Central Elementary School

Will it sink or will it float? That was the question in Mrs. Weavers first grade class last week!

Do you know what Central CHAMPS means? Every quarter, students receive special recognition for not only their academic hard work but also their work in being Caring, Honest, Achieving, Making good choices, and being Safe. Students have the opportunity to earn CHAMPS tags for these specific behaviors every 6-8 weeks.

Our kindergarteners learn about Fire Safety every school year with a special visit from the PFT. Thank you for all that you do to help us! We love our community partners.

3rd grade fun trying to solve the mystery of the candy thief! Another great example of how students are using the 4Cs daily to help build their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

We LOVE our partnership with PHS and HOSA! Students from the HOSA class came over to teach some hands-on pumpkin math to first graders!

Happy Veterans Day! Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade students performed a wonderful Veterans Day concert for families and Veterans today.

1st graders were given the challenge of trying to get their 5 Little Pumpkins to stand on their "fence post" without falling. A great way for them to practice the 4C's!

We had a great two weeks of our Raise Craze Acts of Kindness and Paying it Forward! We finished things with a school-wide celebration and silly stringing of Mr. Setterlof and Mr. Carter!

5th grade had so much fun with their Fear Factor Challenge while celebrating Halloween!

We had a great two weeks of our Raise Craze Kindness Movement thanks to our PTO and all of YOU and your amazing support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

4th graders celebrated hard work on Friday with a glow day!

Third graders enjoyed a visit from the National Children's Theatre via Duke Energy's energy conservation and renewable resources presentations. What a great and engaging way to learn about energy! We love our community partners!

Annularity? Penumbra? Umbra? Totality? We bet you didn't know these are different types of eclipses! Students are learning at The Imagination Lab this month about these different wonders. They'll even get to create their own eclipse viewer in preparation for the total solar eclipse in April!

3rd grade enjoyed their field trip to Franklin College this past week!
