Great Kindness Challenge Day 1: Wear Blue ~ Give a compliment out of the blue!
Last Friday Centennial kicked off our Vet on a Jet fundraiser with a visit from Veteran Amondo from Kern County Honor Flight. We encourage families over the next two weeks to send in some spare change for this worthy cause.
On Friday, Centennial hosted our annual Oral Language Festival. Students memorized piece of literature and then performed for 3-5 minutes on stage in front of a packed house. We are so very proud of all of students who participated! Congratulations to Emily, Claire, Lily, Emmry, Crusoe, Gwen, and Jane who will be representing our school at the district level competition at the beginning of February.
Positive Mindsets! Yesterday we had a special assembly from NED talking about the power of YET. This is an uplifting assembly where the message of Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best! is emphasized. A fun way to practice these skills is through Yo-Yos! Students are able to purchase Yo-Yos for the next few days that can be used at school during recess. All proceeds go towards paying for this fabulous assembly.
