Last week, Central School proudly celebrated Literacy Week: 250 Chapters of America!
Students enjoyed special readings throughout the week and celebrated with fun dress-up days, while our halls were decorated with patriotic themes to highlight the importance of literature and our nation’s story.
Thank you to our students and staff for making literacy come alive in such a fun and meaningful way!
✨ Don’t forget — we hope everyone will join us for Literacy Night TONIGHT starting at 4:00 PM in the cafeteria. We can’t wait to see you there as we continue celebrating the power of reading together! 📖❤️

📣Attention Seniors! Scholarship opportunity!
This is Mr. Lay, principal of Central School, with an important message for parents and families. We are conducting a lockdown drill at school today as part of our regular emergency drill process as required by state law. We believe it’s important for students to know exactly what to do in an emergency and these practice drills enhance their safety. Again, all students are safe, and this is simply drill.
