The Central Spring Carnival is a GO!!! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help! Please email the principal if you are still willing to help! No help will be turned away!!!

We hope to have the "Cooking with the Stars - Central Elementary Cookbook" in by the carnival! Special thanks to Angi Stump and her team of amazing ladies!!!

Hasn't the weather been incredible?!!! I love watching the flowers and trees bloom! Our memorial tree looked beautiful out front this last week!

Today I had the chance to sit in on first graders watching a LIVE webcast of Mrs. Frizzle and the Magic School Bus!!! The author and illustrator were being interviewed about the new Magic School Bus about going green! All the first graders enjoyed being a part of this live educational experience!!!

Tomorrow is Secretary Day!!! We are so thankful for Mrs. Kennedy and her 40 years of service to Central Elementary School! Please stop by tomorrow or give her a call to say thanks at 482-2000!

Next week is the start of the second round of ISTEP+ testing for all students in GR3-5! Please try to limit appointments to the afternoon only next week. Students should have lots of rest and a great breakfast to start the day. Testing should be done by lunch each day. Thanks for all of your support!

Are you amazed that it is already April 14th?! Time is flying by... I thought I would share some recent highlights:

Kudos to our 5th graders and our wonderful nurse! On April 12 over 46 fifth graders received their immunizations for sixth grade for FREE! They were so brave! Special thanks to the Boone County Health Department for making this as painless as possible!

Spring Pictures are this FRIDAY! No money needed at this time. You will have the option of buying or returning the picture packet when it arrives.

April 21 is Secretary Day!!! Did you know that Mrs. Kennedy has been our amazing secretary for 40 years!?!!! How incredible is that?!!! We will be celebrating Mrs. Kennedy Day on April 21st!!!

Book Fair is coming up next week! Family Night is Monday 5-7pm and during the Carnival on Friday night 5:30-7:30pm. Thanks Mrs. Wood!

I love this time of year! The flowers are starting to bloom and the trees are starting to bud! We are all very ready for spring break (April 5-9)! At the same time I am reminded that April 7th will mark the one year anniversary of Denise McLaughlin's passing (our former school nurse). It is hard to believe that she has been gone that long. After spring break we will put out her memorial bench in front of the school and her last school picture will be hung outside the clinic. Our thoughts are with her husband and family during this difficult time of year.
I wish you all a blessed Easter and a safe spring break,
Marie
