Congratulations to our very own Miss Kendrick for receiving Rosedale's Community Member Golden Apple Award. Miss K runs the incredible art program here at Centennial. She provides in depth art lessons every other week during the school year to our classes. Students love art day! Many of you were able to see the amazing glow in the dark art display that was created by Miss K, the Centennial Cubs, and some very hard working PTC volunteers at Open House. We are grateful to all who help fundraise with PTC as this helps make Miss K's art program possible!
