CSD Weekly Update: March 13 2026

Autumn Dow is the dedicated K-5 Art teacher at Willow Dale Elementary, where she inspires young learners to explore their creativity. Mrs. Dow is deeply passionate about the arts and strives to create a classroom environment that encourages imagination, self-expression, and an appreciation for artistic techniques. Her lessons provide students with a window into the vibrant world of art, covering a wide range of mediums and styles. From painting and drawing to working with clay and mixed media, Mrs. Dow introduces her students to both classic and contemporary art forms.

Last weekend, the William Tennent High School Robotics Team competed in their first qualifying event of the season. The team, which has been meeting since September but their season started on January 10th, strategized, designed, built, and programmed a robot that was unique to the FIRST "Rebuilt" game. The team overcame tremendous adversity. Multiple parts broke on our robot, but our team never quit, and we never missed a match.

To learn more about our team, check out www.centennialsd.org/wtrobotics and explore the "Rebuilt - 2026 How to Play" tab and get ready to join us March 21st and March 22nd as William Tennent hosts our Week 3 qualifier!

Each year, Log College's FCS and STEM classes collaborate to create a cupcake contest. A group of students from the STEM class builds a display, and the FCS students create delicious cupcakes. Judges crown a winner. This year's winner was the Space Crane, from the Toy Story movie.

On Tuesday, March 10th, McDonald Elementary 4th Graders participated in the viral "Whitney Houston Challenge." The Whitney Houston Challenge is making a comeback at the perfect moment, after the pause in her iconic song “I Will Always Love You."

Congratulations to our winner- Owen Gordon!

What a night at Willow Dale Elementary's Dr. Seuss Night! Over 300 people joined in the fun, exploring the school with passports, playing Reading and Math games, enjoying read-alouds, and checking out book fairs. Huge thanks to our amazing Kindergarten teacher, Sarah Totans, and the William Tennent High School students who volunteered to make this event a success!

A huge thank you to author Brittany Robyn Phillips for visiting McDonald Elementary yesterday! Our little bulldogs had a blast discovering how fun reading can be.

Students attended two engaging assemblies where Brittany shared her stories and talked about the inspiration behind her books.

Assembly Highlights: Grades K–2 enjoyed hearing The Boy in Boots and the Mouse House during the 9:15 AM assembly. Grades 3–5 attended the 10:30 AM assembly where Phillip shared The Boy in Boots and the Big Beasts.

Log College's cast and crew of over eighty students performed its interpretation of SpongeBob in musical form last weekend. All three shows were well-attended, and memories were made that will last forever!

During the recent CSD board meeting, William Tennent High School students got a chance to give the community a sneak peek of what to expect at their upcoming Mean Girls: High School Version Musical!

Get ready for a night of laughs, drama, and totally fetch musical numbers when William Tennent High School presents Mean Girls: High School Version on March 27 and 28!

Based on the hit movie, the musical follows Cady Heron (played by Madison Picozzi ‘26), a new student navigating the wild social jungle of high school after growing up homeschooled in Africa. When she befriends outcasts Janis (played by Kalena Viera ‘26) and Damian (Michael Betchsner ‘27), they hatch a plan to take down the reigning queen bee, Regina George (Molly Green ‘26), and her clique, The Plastics (Omi Mosquera ‘27 & Nadine Reale ‘27). But as Cady climbs the popularity ladder, she learns that being “mean” comes with consequences.

Packed with high-energy songs, sharp humor, and a heartfelt message about friendship, identity, and being true to yourself, this show is sure to be so fetch. Don’t miss this hilarious and relatable musical brought to life by the talented WTHS cast and crew!

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.
