CSD Weekly Update

This week, students at Davis Elementary and William Tennent High School participated in focus groups hosted by Dr. Lucabaugh, part of an ongoing district-wide initiative to elevate student voice.

Throughout the school year, Dr. Lucabaugh will host student focus groups each month across all Centennial schools, continuing through June 2026. These sessions give students a meaningful opportunity to share their experiences, ideas, and insights about learning in our district.

Join us on November 13, 2025, at Klinger Middle School for a powerful and inspiring evening featuring the film See Her Be Her. This free event celebrates the stories of seven trailblazing female athletes who defy stereotypes and redefine what’s possible—on and off the field. Witness their courage, resilience, and fight for gender equality in sports.

Location: 1415 Second Street Pike, Southampton, PA 18966
Admission: Free

Don’t miss this unforgettable journey of empowerment and perseverance!

What’s This All About?
The Klinger Garden Club has teamed up with Danielle Cares for Chairs — an Indiana-based organization founded in 2017 by then-17-year-old Danielle Rothchild. Danielle’s mission is simple but powerful:

Collect bread tags → Recycle them → Use the proceeds to buy wheelchairs for those in need.

Yes, we’re talking about those little plastic clips that keep your bread (and other products) fresh! These tags are sold to a local recycling center and transformed into items like plastic cups. The money raised — about 50 cents per pound — goes directly toward buying wheelchairs.

Since 2017, 14 wheelchairs have been donated thanks to this effort!

How Many Tags = One Wheelchair?
It takes 260,000 to 600,000 bread tags to fund a single wheelchair — so every tag counts!

Our Goal: Match Last Year’s Total!
Since 2021, thanks to Klinger students, Davis Elementary, and our cafeterias, we’ve collected 17,582 bread tags.
Let’s match (or beat!) that number in 2025–2026!

How You Can Help:

• SAVE your bread tags!

• Ask friends and family to collect them too.

• Post about it on social media – Facebook, Instagram, anywhere!

• Remember: Bread tags aren’t just on bread! Look for them on fruit bags, potatoes, napkins, and more.

Drop them off at Klinger or send them in with a Klinger student.

Mrs. Capriotti’s class at Willow Dale Elementary went on a grammar adventure this week, exploring the difference between sentences and fragments. With curiosity and enthusiasm, students became grammar detectives—learning how to spot complete thoughts and sentence pieces while having a blast along the way!

As a reminder, our PA Career Ready Survey will open on October 13 and run through October 24. This survey will help us to learn more about student experiences at school and about their PA Career Ready Skill Development.

The Climate & Culture Survey (November 12-26) will be open to students, families, and staff members to assess key aspects of school life including topics such as school climate and safety. More details about this will be shared closer to the survey window.

As a reminder, please notify us if you would like to opt your child out of taking either survey by completing this brief form by October 8, 2025 before 4:00 pm.

The survey data will help us identify effective school and district practices as well as gauge your child’s growth toward the PA Career Ready Skills. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 215-441-6000 X11026.

Hello Parents and Guardians, and Welcome Back to Another School Year!

Please take a moment to ensure you’ve completed the Nurse Card, which includes permissions for over-the-counter medications during the school day. You can find it under Family Access > Beginning of the Year Information.

As a reminder for our younger students, please pack an extra set of clothing to keep in their backpack in case it’s needed during the school day. We also kindly ask that students wear closed-toe shoes to help prevent injuries and falls during recess.

We look forward to another great year working together with you!

Each year, more and more people and organizations are turning to our District to help get the message out about various activities, events, fundraisers, etc. The intent of this process is to support student achievement and to provide mutual assistance and benefit through shared information. 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.
