May this Holiday Season bring all the jingly, jolly joy to your family!
**RAIDER NATION REMINDER**
NO SCHOOL DECEMBER 24 - JANUARY 3, 2021 for WINTER BREAK
School resumes January 4, 2021.
Today the kindergarten classes took part in one of their holiday traditions. In December, the kindergarten classes have always decorated gingerbread houses as a whole class. This year, teachers knew it had to look a bit different. With the help of some very generous individuals, all kindergarten students received a bag of individually wrapped candies, a tub of frosting, and a cardboard house. The students got to still decorate even though they weren't together in person.
The kindergarteners also spent the morning perfecting their art skills and decorating a gift for a loved one.
Central Public Schools would like to send a huge thank you to elephant Joe’s for providing coffee to our staff today.
