Central Elementary School

Dear Families,
In the blink of an eye, we find ourselves in May! It
has been an incredible year of learning, growing,
and supporting one another at Central Elementary
School. I want to thank all of the parents and PTO
for putting on such a wonderful Teacher
Appreciation Luncheon. I heard a lot of, “I have to
get that recipe.” We are truly blessed to have such
an amazingly dedicated team of educators whose
primary focus is to serve our students and families.
We have been finishing up our end of year ILEARN
assessments and I’ll be anxiously awaiting our
results. I am proud of our students and staff for
pushing to close that achievement gap that has been
created by something outside of our control. Before
we send our amazing 5th graders to the middle
school, we have quite a few fun things planned for
the next couple of weeks and many of them involve
all of our students.
Tuesday, May 10--Field Day
Wednesday, May 11--100 Book Club Swim Party
Friday, May 13--5th Grade Trip to St. Louis
Friday, May 20--Grandparent’s Day Tuesday,
Tuesday, May 24--5th Grade Celebration &
Kindergarten Celebration
Wednesday, May 25--Last Day of School!
We hope that each and every one of you have a safe
and wonderful summer.
Todd Gowen, Principal
