National STEM/STEAM Day is November 8th. STEAM celebrates using Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math as part of a well-rounded education to support scientific inquiry, creativity, innovation, project-based learning and collaborative problem solving.
Hey, Cougar Family! You have increased Central's regular attendance rate by 7.5% from last year! We want to thank you so much for taking attendance seriously. Remember, a "regular attender" is a student who is at school 90% or more of the time. This means students can only miss 17 days of school for the year. November and December are when attendance takes a big hit. All students are working on their Cougar Challenge, which is a fun way for them to take ownership of their attendance and other vital aspects of their education! Cougars Roll!
Bingo Night is back! This is Central PTO’s biggest fundraiser! We have all-new bingo cards and tons of prizes! Bring your family and friends!
11/16 from 6 pm to 8 pm
If you would like to help out, here is the sign-up form:

Hi Central Families. With the upcoming Book Fair, we hate to think of students missing out on the thrill of buying new books because they need help to afford them. Please help put new books in all students' hands by donating to a general e-wallet fund. Mrs. Murasky will manage this fund to help students who may need it. Cougars Roll! https://shop.scholastic.com/ewallet/fund?lang=en_US&walletId=f134cb76-1e8b-42ab-a359-c09a76ae81c3
