*What To Bring To Hersheypark And Other Reminders*

Clothing:

• Shirts, shorts/pants and shoes must be worn at all times while at Hershey Park.

We recommend that you consider the following:

There is no fee to load cash onto a card at these kiosks. Please check the app for locations.

Click for more information regarding the 8th grade dance on June 6 (Students will also be receiving a paper copy for you to sign).

Field Day takes place on Wednesday, June 4. Please be sure to provide your child with water and sunblock. While it can change, as this is being typed, the forecast is 89 degrees with little to no chance of rain. This event is for staff and students only. The only parents who may attend are those home and school members who are assigned to the water and snack station.

With just two months remaining, a number of things will happen....and fast! Click the link below to keep track of some of our larger events as we enter the final quarter of the school year.

Creative problem solvers in the Grade 6 digital literacy course, Innovations & Explorations, collaborated to build functional tools using cardboard. Afterwards, they produced digital media, MP4, commercials to promote their inventions. More importantly, throughout the 12-class work time, students practiced the art of cooperation and collaboration, important workforce, lifetime skills, as well as Future Ready presentation and communication standards. We are proud of what these scholars have accomplished, now enjoy the shows!

Additionally, a big thanks is extended to all of the LCMS families who donated cardboard for this special endeavor. We couldn’t have done it without your generosity!

Select athletes from Log’s track team competed in the Bucks County League Championship on Tuesday, May 27th. Specific athletes from Log were chosen based on their speed and ability to perform in several track and field events. Chase Dudley received a 3rd place medal in the 100m sprint. Zaakirah Bell received a 3rd place medal in the women’s shot put. Gavin Tumutly received a 1st place medal for the men's high jump jumping at a height of 5 '5". Janelle Rappo received a 2nd place medal in the women’s 55m hurdles. Devon McDonald received a 3rd place running in the 200m dash (brand new event to her this year), and a 2nd place medal in the 400m sprint. Log’s coaches are proud to have worked with the 2 fastest girls in Bucks County! Devon MacDonald, the reigning champ taking home a gold medal in the 100 meter sprint and Janelle Rappo taking the silver. The margin between 1st and second place in this event was .02 of a second!

Despite not taking home the overall trophy, all Log’s athletes performed their best races of the season.

The coaches are very proud of the team for their commitment to bettering themselves as teammates and athletes!

On Wednesday, May 28th, musicians from the Log College Singers and the Log College Jazz Band performed tunes for the residents of the Masonic Village at Warminster nursing home. The residents were tapping their toes and were delighted by the students' performances!

LCMS and KMS students met for the 4th annual Panther Games, a field day event where the two schools come together. It is a spirited competition and also an introduction for future classmates before entering high school. The black team was this year's winner.

On Thursday, May 29, the Centennial School District Chief Science Officers (CSO’s) attended an end of year meeting at the Franklin Institute. The meeting began with a getting to know you activity where the CSO’s had the opportunity to interact with other CSO’s from Pennsylvania. Following this, a panel from the Franklin Institute presented to the CSO’s about their experiences in STEM. The meeting ended with the CSO’s presenting their action plans and sharing the outcomes and their reflections on how their plan went this school year. This year the Centennial CSO’s planned and implemented their first “Women in STEM Career Panel” at William Tennent High School where women in fields from biotechnology to medicine shared their experiences with students. After their presentation, the Centennial School District CSO’s were honored by receiving the “Outstanding Action Plan” Award from the Philadelphia Cabinet.

Living On Your Own is not easy! The 8th-grade students completed a simulation that gave them the opportunity to demonstrate that they could survive in the real world. They had to make decisions such as where to live, what kind of apartment to rent, transportation, insurance, and banking. As they lived day-to-day, they had to complete tasks such as paying bills, filling their gas tank, and going grocery shopping.

As we conclude the 2024-2025 school year, Mrs. Cornish's class also had the opportunity to form groups and use the Game of Life to simulate personal finance decisions. Students applied their knowledge of topics such as salaries, budgeting, the cost of living (including expenses for children), debt, and insurance. Although students could appreciate the hard work that goes into managing a family budget, they also had fun!

The 2025 Girls Softball team just completed their season, and although it was a season full of rainouts and difficult weather, this team always gave their best effort! The girls were only able to play five games this season, but the team put up solid performances in each! Our standout pitcher, Hayleigh Cohen, who recorded double digit strike outs in multiple games had an outstanding season! Eighth graders Kyleigh Stitch, Sofia Rudnitsky, and Alyssa Sulpuzio were also great leaders who contributed defensively. While we are always sad to send our 8th graders to high school, our 7th graders will provide a nice core for the team next year. Coaches Mr. Boyle and Mrs. Crognale would like to thank the team for all their hard work, and the parents for all their support this season!

We will post information as it arrives regarding any practices or camps at WTHS or information regarding physicals or other information for the Fall.
