Good morning, This morning bus 2, our town route bus, was involved in a minor fender bender. There was minimal damage to either vehicle. No one was injured. The elementary will contact every family who had a student on the bus when the accident occurred. Have a great day. Mr. Gallwitz

Elementary parents- As the weather starts to get colder, please make sure your child comes to school each day with a warm coat, hat, and gloves. We will continue to go outside for recess as long as the temperature feels like 20 degrees or above

Thank you for helping us keep everyone warm and comfortable while they enjoy their outdoor time!

Elementary parents- A friendly reminder that picture retakes is this Wednesday, November 19th.

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.
