HOOT OFF THE PRESS

Candy Grams Relay for Life will be selling Candy Grams January 26,27 & 28 During Lunch. They will be only $1 each. It is a great way to send a sweet treat to your child, teacher, staff member, or child’s class for friendship day! They will be delivered on February 12. All proceeds will go to Central Park’s Relay for Life Team!

It always seems like December passes by so quickly. I hope everyone had a great winter break. I would like to thank Tracy Yudell and Courtney Kirner, our hospitality chairs, for hosting a beautiful staff luncheon. I would also like to thank Kristen Leith and Greg from I9 Sports for planning and executing a flawless Kindergarten Field Day. We are getting ready for our second Community Sale and Fun Fair this coming January 30th. If you haven’t yet, make sure to visit our PTA website, www.centralparkpta.my-pta.org, click on the School Store link and reserve your parking space to sell your items. Our Relay for Life committee will be selling Candy Grams on January 25th through January 28th during your students’ lunches. Our room parents worked very hard last month planning the winter parties. Thanks to our Room Parent Coordinator, Alisse Herbert. Alisse worked very hard last month coordinating the pizza for our whole school. For the second year, PTA has provided pizza, drinks and cookies to all of our students for their class parties. Nicole Dorn PTA President 2015-16
