Unfortunately our streaming service is experiencing technical difficulties. While we will continue to get the stream going, we are recording graduation and will share the video with 8th grade families tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to fix this.

To celebrate spring and Mother’s Day, the Central knitters knitted flowers (including the stems) and painted cardboard vases. The pictured flowers were gifted/donated to Supportive Living Washington for their residents to enjoy, and they were beyond thrilled to receive these from Central. Students also knitted an additional flower for their mom for Mother’s Day!
Way to continue to spread joy through the art of knitting!
Our second and third grade music and art program was a huge success. Thank you to our amazing students and families, as well as Mrs. Cunningham and Ms. Gleason. What a wonderful evening. 🎶🖼
