BACK-TO-SCHOOL PEP RALLY

Be Proud of Your Success! Hooray! Hooray! We're back in school and everyone at Central cheered, stomped, and yelled at the Back-to-School Pep Rally. It was an exciting way to jump start the new year. Thanks to Jose Salinas, our Central Cougar, and to Krissi Mark and Jerome Johnson, our university and high school graduates. Thanks to those crazy clowns - Jennifer Cifuentes, Francisco Jeronimo, Sarah Ramos, Cristian Burciaga, Reed Dalen, Ambur Hawkins, Alex Etheridge, Jackie Solis, and Jordan Munoz. You made us all laugh. Finally, thanks to all the balloon and letter-holders. As Mrs. Kisner says, the successes of your future start today, so BE PROUD OF YOUR SUCCESS! Go Yellow and Blue!

W.I.N.G.S. (Wonderful Individuals Nurturing Gardens Seasonally)

Third and fourth graders were able to volunteer to help take care of our butterfly garden. Thirty three students are in the after school club and are busy learning to identify what plants we do & don't want in the garden. The group will also decide on a name for the garden. With all this extra help our garden is looking fantastic! Thank you to the helpers. Picture: (1)

SMART CENTERS

Students in Miss McMahon's room explored our new Smart Centers today. We learned that we can learn new things when we look inside books and that we learn lots of new things when we work together. Pictures: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

GRANDPARENTS LUNCHEON

On September 22 Central School celebrated Grandparents Day by inviting grandparents & others to come to school to enjoy lunch on the lawn with their children. The event was a huge success as can be evidenced by the pictures attached to this article. (Pictures)

GOOD CITIZENS FOR SEPTEMBER

The students of Central School continue to learn about the program "Character Counts." They are asked to practice its six Pillars of Character, (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship), while at school. Based on these pillars, the teachers nominate a good citizen from each classroom. From those students, the teachers choose one student to be the good citizen from that grade level. Picture: (1)
