Use your Voice!

Use your voice to support the teachers and staff of Central at the next School Board Meeting on Wednesday, October 13th at 7 PM


This meeting will be to speak about Federal allocations which could be spent for salaries that were reduced, the cost of increased health care, and possibly new positions -we need another Assistant Principal. This position was cut last year and not filled. In addition, we are in need of additional staff members such as SPED teachers, which we've lost one for the past five years without filling which means increased caseload sizes and more difficulty in meeting these student's needs. We also only have one full time secretary for 1400 students. The other outstanding individuals you see in the main office are instructional aides. Lastly, we have two guidance employees for 1400 students. These are the "big" request that we plan for the following school year budget. Central staff are under a lot right now with being in school of improvement and the increased workloads that have been placed on all teachers throughout the country, but especially in schools of improvement.

Bus Driver Appreciation Breakfast

On October 15th, we are showing our bus drivers how much we appreciate all that they do by having a breakfast for them! For this event, we need food that the bus drivers can “grab n’ go” as many of them have other jobs and time constraints. Items like muffins, granola bars, donuts, bagels, breads & mini quiches, fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, etc), and small bottles or cans of juice are ideal. If you are interested in contributing items or you would like to help hand out breakfast for the drivers, please contact Charli Nolan at charlinolan@yahoo.com.

Box Tops

Hello Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to another great year at Central Elementary! My name is Christine Kreitzman and I’m the volunteer coordinator for Box Tops for Education. Our goal is to help raise money for Central’s PTO. Last year we raised almost $3,000!
Box Tops offers three easy ways to earn cash for our school through everyday activities such as buying groceries, shopping online and purchasing books.

Clip — Clip Box Top coupons from hundreds of participating products and send them to school. Box Tops are worth 10¢ each when our school redeems them from Box Tops for Education. Just cut the box top off the box and send to school with your child. You can find box tops on all General Mills cereal boxes, Kleenex tissues (on bottom), Pillsbury items and many more.

Shop — Shop at your favorite online stores through the Box Tops MarketplaceSM (btfe.com/marketplace). Up to 8% of each qualifying purchase is automatically donated to our school. There is no additional cost to your purchase and many exclusive deals and discounts can be found!

Buy books — Purchase books online at Barnes & Noble through the Box Tops Reading RoomSM. Our school will receive 6% of your new book purchases and 3% of all other online purchases.

One of the easiest ways you can help is to sign up to support our school at btfe.com. You will learn about new and easy ways to help our school earn the extra cash it needs.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at: ckreitzman@mail.fluco.org
