Dear Center Community,
People often say that things wind down in schools come June—but that couldn’t be further from the truth at Center! Last week was filled with fun, learning, and community spirit. We enjoyed spirited theme days, welcomed a miniature therapy horse, Center Authors shared their wriitng, had a fantastic field day, and ended the week on a high note with our 4th grade Finale.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible CSPTO and the many volunteers who made these events—and so many others throughout the year—such a success. Your time, energy, and support mean the world to us. We are truly fortunate to be part of such a caring and connected community.
This is our last official update of the school year, but we’ll be in touch over the next few weeks to share dates for our summer read-alouds and new family tours.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer!
Field Day
Hip Hip Hurray to Tanya Kivi, our amazing Field Day Chief. Ms. Kivi's tireless efforts and meticulous planning ensured that our field day was fun-filled and ran smoothly from start to finish. The book swap was once again a big success due to your generous donations and the volunteers to assisted with this activity. Our sincerest appreciation to the numerous volunteers who gave their time and energy to run stations, and to our CSPTO for providing popsicles. The day was a resounding success as evidenced by the abundant smiles and laughter of students. Again, our appreciation to all, and especially Ms. Kivi for their contributions in creating a memorable experience.
Spirit Days
Each year, our 4th grade students vote on spirit days for the last week of school. Here they are below. Many classes in younger grades may have a different spirit day. Happy to have all the spirit at Center we can get the last few days of school. :)

What's ahead this week:
Clap Out:
We are pleased to hold our annual clap out for fourth grade students on Tuesday, June 17th. Students will parade from their classrooms down both corridors of the school while staff and students cheer them on. They will proceed outside our kindergarten wing doors, pass the front of the school and back to the kindergarten doors.
Families, you are invited to cheer them on outside of the school.
Please arrive no later than 11:15.
Please park in the upper parking lot or the town hall, if the upper parking lot is full.
There is a path from the town parking lot to the campus.
Please sign the dismissal sheets available, on the designated table to the right of the building, if you plan to take your child home following the clap out.
Please spread out starting from door #11 toward the front of the building to cheer on our 4th graders.
Please check in with your child’s teacher if you are dismissing your child immediately after the parade and leave the campus no later than 11:40 so we can prepare for dismissal of all other students.
We can not dismiss siblings at this time. Please follow our regular pick-up procedures. Remember to bring your golden ticket.
Move up Day for K-3:
On the last day of school, we have a "Move Up Day" where students get to meet their new teacher and classmates for the upcoming year. This day is designed to help students transition smoothly and alleviate any anxiety they may have about the next school year. Students will come home with a welcome letter from their new teacher. Please check your child's backpack for this information. Please be assured that we take a great amount of pride in making sure that placement is completed with care and the interests of each individual child in mind and took your placement feedback into account as was feasible. We ask that you assist us with reassuring your child that whoever they have for a teacher next year will be a positive experience.
We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in this process. If you submitted a placement letter by the May 6th deadline and we were not able to accommodate your requests, you may reach out after June 30th to share your concerns. Thank you for your partnership in making this transition as smooth as possible.
Warm Regards,
Dianna and Donna
