Davis Elementary School recently welcomed presenters from the Churchville Nature Center who brought the Lenape people and their culture to life right in our classrooms. Students learned about food, cooking, hunting, family life, and the Lenape children's games in stations. “Wanishi” is how you say, “thank you” in the language of the Lenni Lenape. "Wanishi" to Dr. Garcia, our fourth grade team, and the Churchville Nature Center for bringing this connection to our curriculum and local history to life!

Sixth grade students recently concluded reading the novel, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, and responded to the following prompt: "What helped sustain people’s spirits during the Great Depression?” Students have been learning how to properly construct a topic statement, introduce the idea, use textual evidence, and elaborate using critical thinking skills to analyze how people maintained a positive outlook on life during this challenging period in history.

Enjoy the responses of some of our fabulous 6B writers!

The YoungArts organization announced its nominees for the 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students who exemplify artistic and academic excellence. YoungArts is the sole nominating agency for this prestigious honor, and the 60 candidates, representing 22 states and 10 artistic disciplines, are all YoungArts award winners with distinction.

WT Senior Declan Cashman is one of only 8 vocalists on this list from across the entire nation.

He was eligible for this nomination as he was the 2025 YoungArts Winner with Distinction in Vocal Jazz. This prestigious award recognizes young artists who exhibit exceptional technique, strong artistry, and a deep commitment to their craft. Declan was selected from nearly 11,000 applicants to attend the National YoungArts Week in Miami, Florida this January. You can view Declan's performance at the National YoungArts Week (starting at about 1:37:30). Reflecting on the experience, Declan highlighted performing at the New World Center, collaborating with top vocal coaches from across the country, and connecting with other passionate young artists from diverse disciplines as some of his favorite moments.

YoungArts, established in 1981, is a national foundation dedicated to identifying and nurturing young artists. The organization provides space, funding, mentorship, professional development, and community support to help artists realize their potential and sustain their creative careers. National YoungArts Week includes classes and workshops with leading artists in their fields, performances, writers’ readings, film screenings and an exhibition, providing the artists opportunities to further advance their craft, and allowing audiences opportunities to meet and experience these outstanding artists and their work.

Centennial School District is home to incredible talent, with students showcasing their passion and dedication in the performing arts.

The Klinger Ski and Snowboard Club wrapped up their 2025 riding season at Bear Creek Mountain Resort on January 30th. This was the third and final trip of the season. The club includes 6th, 7th and 8th graders and all levels of riders are welcome. Many students started the first trip with a lesson and by the third trip were riding on intermediate slopes. The weather was wonderful and the conditions were excellent. The kids had a great time with their old and new friends who now share the love of the winter!

The Office of Teaching & Learning is inviting you to add your voice and provide feedback regarding our K-12 Mathematics Program Evaluation being conducted by Hanover Research.

Centennial School District (CSD) wants to capture a clear understanding of our current Mathematics programming and identify opportunities for improving and better aligning our Mathematics curriculum for grades Kindergarten through 12.

As we have done for other subjects, the Centennial School District has requested that Hanover Research evaluate the district’s K-12 Mathematics program; Hanover will submit a Capstone Report to us in June. A crucial component of that final report is a Mathematics Program Perception Survey. Centennial wants to know staff members, parents, and students (Grades 6+) perceptions of and experiences with Mathematics teaching and learning. Your responses will help us understand the current state of the Mathematics programs in our K-12 schools.

This study is for research purposes only and is anonymous, so please be candid in your responses and do not use your name or other identifying items in your open-ended responses. The survey can be accessed HERE and will close on February 7, 2025 at midnight:

Centennial's Food & Nutrition Department is again partnering with GIANT Food Stores to help support our students facing food insecurity. We encourage the greater community to participate in this effort.

From January 1 through March 31, everyone who shops at GIANT in Warminster or Upper Southampton will be invited to "round-up" at the register and donate the round-up amount of their bill to support Feeding School Kids. Customers can also give by converting their CHOICE Rewards Points to donations in the GIANT app or purchasing a reusable bag.

We ask our school community to help spread the word about the Feeding School Kids 2025 Campaign to ensure its success. Our goal is to support the children in our district who need the most help accessing nutritious meals and snacks. From backpacks with weekend food to clearing lunch debt to building a community pantry in our schools, the funds will be provided directly to our district's food organization for use, at our discretion, to address food insecurity in our school community.

Please join us in supporting and advocating for this initiative to help ensure no child in our district experiences hunger at school or home.

Our district spends a great deal of time collecting, reviewing, and posting flyers to the District eFolder. The District no longer is posting eFlyers to any social media outlets or the District cable channel. You may refer to Policy 913 for additional information.
