Dear Centennial Academy Families,

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a great first week and that our scholars are settling in and getting excited about the year ahead.

As we kick off another school year, we are excited to continue partnering with you to support our scholars and strengthen our school community.

With the support of our PTA community, we’ve been able to contribute to teacher grants and classroom upgrades, supplies and books, athletic scholarships, family events, and more. We’re looking forward to building on that impact together this year!

There’s a Place for You in PTA

Joining PTA doesn’t mean you have to attend every meeting or volunteer at every event. There are many ways to get involved, and every level of participation matters.

Your involvement might look like becoming a member, attending a family event, volunteering, serving on a committee, sharing your ideas, nominating a parent for a leadership position, or simply helping us spread the word about PTA programs and opportunities.

This is also a nominating year for our PTA! We’ll be preparing for our next leadership term, and we would love to have help with the Nominations. If this is something that you are interested in, we'd love to hear from you.

Help Us Grow Our PTA Community

If you’ve already joined—thank you! One of the easiest ways you can help us right now is by sharing our membership information with someone else who hasn’t signed up yet.

Membership is just $10 for the entire school year, and the first 100 members to join will receive a complimentary PTA T-shirt!

Let’s Stay Connected

Connecting our families is a priority for us. We want PTA to be more than events and fundraising—we want it to be a resource for our families and a place where you can connect, share ideas, get involved, and feel supported throughout the school year.

If you need anything, have a question, want to get involved, or simply need help getting connected, please feel free to reach out to us at CAcademyPTA@Gmail.Com.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to another great year of connecting families, supporting our scholars, and building a stronger Centennial community together.

Warmly,
Centennial Academy PTA
