Here is a great message that the Central Booster Club recently received:
“Thank you so much for the donation to our 2nd grade classrooms from the Raider Rally. We used the funds to purchase 5 under desk bikes. These bikes allow students some extra movement, helping to increase focus and attention. Thank you!”
Thank you to our wonderful Elementary PTA and our families for showering the Elementary Staff during staff appreciation week. All the Elementary Staff felt the love and appreciation all week and can't say thank you enough.

Then the fun continued all week with Monday: Muffins, Coffee & Juice in the staff lounge; Tuesday: Massages from Schmidt Chiropractic; Wednesday: Grab & Go Snacks in the staff lounge; Thursday: Massages from Sacred Health and Friday: Gift Card Drawing & Root Beer Floats.
Thank you for supporting our team!
