Dear Centerville Families,

It has been an absolute joy to have the kids back in the building. Seeing so many of you at our parent information nights just shows us that you are ready to collaborate with us and make this a great year.

I especially want to thank the volunteers who came this week to help our kindergartners and first graders during lunch and recess. You really cannot imagine how difficult it is to get 110 milk cartons open on that first day, but you made it happen!

So, with that, I encourage you to please get involved with our school this year. We have a great PTA with plenty of opportunities to help out.

Thanks a lot for another great first week. We wish you the very best this year, and please let us know if there is anything we can do to make it even better.

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken
