Another Busy and Exciting Week at School!
As we wrap up another wonderful school year, we want to thank everyone who helped make this week so special! A huge shout-out to Kayla Simard and our amazing CSPTO for organizing an incredible Fourth Grade Finale, along with all of the volunteers who gave their time and energy to create lasting memories for our students.
We also extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to: Ms. Pierce-Clarke, a true teaching hero on her retirement after an amazing 40-year career dedicated to children and education. Your impact will be felt for generations to come.
Students had a blast celebrating Theme Week with Crazy Hair Day, Sports Day, Mix-and-Match Day, and more! We are also looking forward to Move-Up Day and want families to know that great care and consideration have gone into placing every student for next year.
Additionally, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our PTO Presidents, Ashley Baxter and Ellen Ellis, and the entire CSPTO Board for the countless hours they selflessly dedicate to making Center School such a special place. From organizing enriching experiences for students across all grade levels, to leading fundraising efforts that support our school community, to providing communication and encouragement for families and staff, their impact is felt every day.
We are truly fortunate to partner with such dedicated families whose generosity, commitment, and school spirit help make Center School an exceptional place for children to learn and grow. Thank you for all that you do! ❤️💙💛
As summer begins, we wish all of our students and families a safe, healthy, and relaxing vacation. Keep learning alive by encouraging children to read, write, and explore in fun and meaningful ways throughout the summer. Students who would like to write to Mrs. Hutchinson & Mrs. Omobono may send letters to:

Thank you for a fantastic year—we can't wait to see everyone in the fall! 🌞📚✏️
