LCMS brought the house down with its annual musical! Students did an unbelievable job, from performers to stage crew and everyone behind the scenes. Also, a special thanks to our faculty directors and all of our parent volunteers. The musical is an annual tradition of how great things can happen when a school community works together. (Here are a few pics, more to come).

Mrs. Schwartz’s ELA

Students in Ms. Schwartz's English Language Arts class are currently reading "Blood on the River." Students are finding the book engaging while broadening their understanding of Jamestown in 1607. This week, we have focused on plot and character development, as well as the essential question: How did the social and environmental factors in the unfamiliar world of Jamestown shape its development and decline?

As we near Spring 2025, student in Mr. P’s class are rounding out the year learning the prerequisite skills to prepare them for Algebra 1 at the high school. Students are in the middle of Unit 3 - Linear Inequalities. Using inverse operations is the key to solving these problems. Once students have solved the problem, they must graph their answer on a number line. Next week, students will tackle two-step and multi-step linear inequalities. Two major units remain: Functions and Relations; and Graphing Linear Equations (slope, rate of change).

Students in Mrs. Schenfelt’s Intermediate Art class have successfully wrapped up their drawing unit, producing impressive still life artworks. This project offered a deep dive into composition, the use of fundamental elements of art, and the fascinating interplay of light with various objects.

Each student chose a diverse array of objects, varying in size, shape, and value, and applied different composition techniques to elevate their artwork. They skillfully utilized lighting techniques and opted for either open or closed compositions while experimenting with bird's eye and ant's eye views for photographing their still life arrangements. Additionally, students explored the concept of value through shading, paying close attention to details and background elements, which added to the overall realism of their drawings.

On Wednesday, March 5, the Centennial School District Chief Science Officers (CSO’s) participated in the Bucks County Spring Cabinet Meeting at Doylestown Hospital. This was an exciting day for the CSO’s; they had the opportunity to learn about various professions within the hospital and explore different career opportunities in the world of medicine. Students learned about physical therapy, genetic counseling, cardiac rehab, and more. Students constructed pedigrees to trace specific traits that they have throughout their family tree, and they explored how cells could be stained and studied under a microscope. CSO’s presented and discussed the outcomes of their action plans and reflected on what still needed to be accomplished. The day ended with a k-nex vehicle building competition where teams were to design a vehicle that could travel the farthest using only the materials provided in the k-nex kit.

The 6th Grade field trip and end of year celebration will be on Monday, June 2nd at Hideaway Swim Club in Hatboro. Student permission slips will be distributed in classes in the near future. Stay tuned for more details!

We ask that you please encourage your child to read at home! Not only is reading a great hobby, it helps children to become better learners and helps them focus. It is the single, greatest way your child can help him or herself. Plus, more and more, reading is becoming an expectation for our English classes.

Did you reserve a copy of this year's yearbook? You still have time to order!

The only way to guarantee that your child will get a copy in June, is to order online today! The cost of the yearbook is $32 or $35 for a personalized yearbook(digital name imprint on the front cover). To access the order center, just click the link below. If you are unsure if you ordered a copy, feel free to email Mrs. Hirsch to check!
