Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
We are thrilled to share that our Galaxy of Giving fundraiser raised $16770 this year! Your generosity and support make such a difference for our students, classrooms, and school community. A huge thank you to our amazing CPTA for organizing this event and to every family who contributed. Because of your efforts, we can continue providing engaging learning experiences, special events, and resources that help our Cougars shine every day.
We would also like to express our immense appreciation for the delicious meals and treats provided by the team effort of our parents and the CPTA during conferences. Your thoughtful contributions ensured that staff could grab a bite to eat during these busy nights, making the conference experience a bit easier for everyone.
Finally, a big thank you to the dedicated parents who organized the Book Fair. It was an absolute hit with students and a wonderful reminder of how exciting reading can be. We are grateful for the time and energy you invested to make it such a success.
Your continued support and involvement help make Centerville such a special place for kids to learn and grow.
Go Cougars!
Mr. Macken
