Centerburg Local Schools

Thank you for 13 great weeks of football! You made us proud.

Our middle schoolers wrapped up a Thanksgiving-themed door decorating contest this week! 🍁 Congratulations to Mr. Carter’s 8th graders for taking first place! Honorable Mention goes to Mr. Goettemoeller’s 6th grade students - great job, everyone!

Centerburg HS's spring musical is Matilda. Auditions, open to grades 7-12, will be held December 2-6. Students should contact Mrs. Culbertson or Miss Lees to be added to the Google Classroom for information about Matilda auditions.

Mr. Colella’s 6th grade Social Studies students explored the Neolithic Era and designed their own villages to show what they learned!

Good luck to the Trojans tomorrow as they face off against Colonel Crawford in the Regional Semi-finals!

Thank you to our Veterans for all their service. At the elementary school we do a variety of activities to learn about Veteran's Day and show our thankfulness. Here is what some of the grades do: In third grade we write letters to Veterans. In fourth grade we had a guest speaker and they learned about the timeline of Veteran's Day. In first grade students colored and read a book about our freedoms and enjoyed a Scholastic News article about the armed forces.

The Trojans take on Colonel Crawford this Friday! Gates open at 5pm.

Fans may bring chairs only after school hours (3:15pm) on Thursday or Friday for the game. It is a safety issue to have adults come onto the playground / football field during school hours.

Thank you!

***Clothing Donations Needed For The Elementary School ***

We are in need of boys’ pants (sizes 5–8) and boys’ underwear (sizes 4–8) for our school clothing supply.
Please also send an extra set of clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, and socks) for your child to keep in their cubby.

Thank you for helping us keep our students comfortable and ready to learn.

At last night's BOE meeting, Lynn McCann was recognized by Aaron Hinchliffe from the Ohio School Boards Association for his 30 years of service as a board member!

The heat is back on at the HS/MS building. All events will go on tonight as scheduled. Thank you to Danielle with Nutrition Group for providing our students with hot chocolate this morning.

Mrs. Burns’ 7th grade Transition & Careers students are starting to map out their future and choosing high school courses that align with their career interests!

Congratulations to the MS/HS October Students of the Month! Leo Hardman, Tara Cross, Aven Kloss, Elena Garner, Lily Anthony, Jacob Hayden, and Sophie Garcia. Also, to our Staff Member of the Month - Mr. Rioux.

Good morning, We currently do not have heat in the HS/MS building at the moment. Repair personnel are on the way to evaluate the problem and make repairs. We hope to have issue resolved quickly. Mr. Gallwitz

Mrs Kimball’s 7th grade science class explored kinetic and potential energy last week using marbles and foam tubing! They designed roller coasters to see how height affects speed and energy transformation!
