Center School News and Updates 3/10/23

We are excited about the week ahead.  Mrs. Wilson and our third-grade students have been practicing tirelessly for the pirate musicals that they will perform for families this week. During the week we will also be performing for our second and fourth-grade students during the school day. Be on the lookout this week for pirates riding our buses and roaming the halls of Center School!

If you are attending the show this week, there is parking at Center School, along the exit road, and at the Sylvester Field parking lot. Entrance to the building will be at the auditorium doors only and doors will open at 8:45 am. Classes perform on their assigned days at 9:00 am. 

In my last message, I meant to include three alumni students who helped out at the science fair and listened to students present their projects. A special thank you to Abby and Julianne Minasi and Liam Hughes.

This Spring, Center School is entering into a partnership with Holly Hill Farm. They will be working with us to add additional garden beds into the courtyard and more outside along the back of the small playground. Students in grades 2-4 will be planting vegetables and flowers. We look forward to working with the farm and appreciate the donations from our PTA in support of this program.

Have a great week,

Mrs. DeGrenier
Principal
