Centerville Families,

Our Spring Festival is this Sunday from 2:00–5:00 PM, and we are so excited to bring our community together!

The forecast is looking perfect with a sunny 71°, the ice cream is already delivered, and everything is coming together for a great afternoon of fun, food, and connection.

We would love to see as many of our families there as possible. This is such a special opportunity for our students to spend time together outside of the school day and for our community to connect.

We are still in need of a few more volunteers to make everything run smoothly. If you are able to help for even a short time, it would make a big difference.

Hope to see you all there!

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken

A huge thank you for your support in achieving our most successful MCA testing season yet!

The level of attendance we’ve seen over the last few weeks was truly remarkable. Because you prioritized getting your kiddos to school on time and scheduled appointments outside of the grade-level testing windows, our students were able to maintain their routines and rock their MCA tests. This consistency allowed them to focus on their best work during the testing times, without the added stress of making up tests at a later time.

We know that a successful school day starts at home, and we greatly appreciate your partnership in setting our students up for success. Your efforts made a tangible difference and they do not go unnoticed!
