Wow, Cougar Family! We've made great strides in attendance, with nearly a 1% improvement this November compared to last year—thank you for prioritizing attendance! Last month, kindergarten saw the biggest growth and earned a turkey prize, 5th grade won their challenge against Island City, and many students achieved their individual goals. This month, Frosty the Snowman will host a dodgeball "snowball fight" for each class if Central reaches 95% attendance. Additionally, 4th grade is taking on Island City, and all students are working hard on their Individual Cougar Challenge. Cougars Roll!
