Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
It takes many different people working together to make Centerville Elementary the great school that it is. This week, I would like to highlight our Reading Corps tutors, Lisa Maier and Summer Anderson, and our Math Corps tutor, Walter Fenske.
We are incredibly grateful for the work they do each day supporting our students. Through small group and one-on-one instruction, they help our students grow in both reading and math while building confidence along the way.
Also, our March IXL Challenge begins this week! This is a fun opportunity for students to practice their math and reading skills while earning prizes along the way. We hope students will jump in and give it a try.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken
