Congratulations to Mr. John Creighton for being selected the

2025 State Athletic Director of the Year!

For the third straigt year, the business office reports that Centennial's CVLA program not only continues to offer our students an in-district learning pathway but continues to save tax-payer dollars by reducing our cyber-school charter bills with 2024 projected expenses totaling $2,030,896, a 5.4% reduction and a savings of $116,456.

Often residents hear commercials saying cyber charter schools are free when in fact, the bill is sent to the local school district to fund the program. Centennial's CVLA program outperforms many of the state's cyber charter program creating a more effective and effecient option for our families.

Today, March 21st, members of the Student Services and Teaching & Learning departments recognized World Down Syndrome Day by wearing blue and gold, as well as, rocking their socks!

World Down Syndrome Day is observed annually on March 21st and is a global awareness day dedicated to raising awareness about Down syndrome and advocating for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of people with Down syndrome. March 21st (3/21) was chosen to symbolize the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

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.

To launch their upcoming Wit & Wisdom module, A New Home, 3rd grade students at Willow Dale participated in a book tasting, getting a “taste” of the powerful stories they will explore throughout this module.

As they listened to excerpts from Grandfather’s Journey, Tea with Milk, Coming to America, The Keeping Quilt, and Family Pictures, students began to build excitement for the learning ahead!

This book tasting set the stage for thoughtful conversations and deep engagement with the themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience.

During a science pilot program, the science department at Klinger conducted an experiment by placing celery stalks in water overnight to observe how they absorbed moisture. Students noticed that the celery with leaves absorbed more water than the celery without leaves. This is because the leaves help facilitate transpiration, drawing more water up through the stalk. By the next day, the leafy celery appeared more hydrated and showed clearer signs of water movement, while the celery without leaves absorbed less and showed fewer changes. This experiment helped our students understand how plants transport water through their stems.

Many Davis 4th and 5th graders competed in our annual March Madness tournament! Congratulations to the Davis tournament champion teams "RWE" (boys) & "Hoop There It Is" (girls), the Davis runner ups "67ers" (boys) & "Bucket Makers" (girls), and all of the participants for a great tournament of competition and sportsmanship.

RWE and Hoop There It Is will compete in the district finals at Davis next week! Good luck!

A Child's Place 2024-2025 School Year

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.
