School Store Donation

The student council at Parchment Central Elementary has been busy having a school store every week this year. Their goal was to help provide money to the PTO organization for new playground equipment.

In January, the student council representatives visited the PTO meeting to present the board with a $500.00 check to contribute to the playground fund!

Food Drive Donations

Parchment Central’s Student Council recently had a food drive for the Kalamazoo Area Loaves and Fishes. Students donated over 500 pounds of food to the organization to help serve people who are food insecure in the Kalamazoo area. Student Council members would like to thank the students and parents of Central for their generosity and giving!

Snowpants....Boots.....Coat......Hat.....Gloves

Make sure your student comes to school with all the necessary cold weather gear every day. If they do not have appropriate snow gear, they are required to play on the cement so they don't have wet feet and clothes all day at school.

Dismissal

Since we finally have some snow! The roads are now more narrow and that lessens the room on the street. Please be respectful of the driveways of neighboring houses and others in the general public that may need to get through.

Mr. Dave is our fabulous volunteer who shares his amazing energy with our students, parents, and staff. We were so thrilled that Mr. Dave continued to volunteer his time even though he no longer has children in the building. Mr. Dave has been greeting Central Families every morning for the past 4 years and our entire building benefits from his positive energy and caring heart.
