CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES A WEEK OF ACTIVITIES IN RECOGNITION OF AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

WARMINSTER —The spotlight shines on Centennial School District schools and the community is invited to participate during the National Education Association’s (NEA) 93rd annual American Education Week, which takes place Nov. 17—21. District schools have organized five days of informative and engaging events. NEA is one of the original sponsors of American Education Week, which was established in 1921 to inform the public of the accomplishments and needs of public schools.

“American Education Week promote parent and family involvement in education. Each interaction involving a parent, student and the school creates a stronger bond and facilitates better understanding of the classroom experience,” emphasized District Superintendent Joyce Mundy.

Davis, McDonald and Willow Dale Elementary Schools are welcoming parents into the classroom for a bird’s eye view of the student experience. Special events are slated for Friday Nov. 21 at Davis (Coach Bag Bingo), McDonald (Student Recognition Assembly) and Willow Dale (When I Grow Up). Willow Dale has also arranged an Art Show and fundraiser for Nov. 19.

Klinger Middle School will get the celebration started on the right foot with an evening Skating Party on Nov. 17. Parents are encouraged to visit the school on the morning of Nov. 16 and enjoy a cup of coffee with the principals. The celebration ends on a tasteful note when Klinger students from Teams 6A and 6B join their families for breakfast on Nov. 20 and 21.

Log College Middle School invites parents to begin the week with coffee and conversation with the Superintendent on Nov. 17. Students will be honored for their accomplishments at a Student Recognition Breakfast on Nov. 21.

The stars will be out on Nov. 20 at the District-wide Planetarium show that begins at 6:00 PM at William Tennent High School. A Parent Forum, a second District-wide event, is planned for Nov. 18 and will address Supporting Diverse Learners.

“American Education Week connects our Centennial families to our learning environment and highlights the accomplishments of our students and schools, while encouraging communication with teachers, principals and administrators,” said Superintendent Mundy.” I encourage our parents and families to enjoy as many events as possible.”
