This past Friday and Saturday, William Tennent High School brought the stage to life with its production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon!
Our talented students and dedicated staff worked together to create an unforgettable experience for audiences. From the performances on stage to the work happening behind the scenes, the production showcased the creativity, teamwork, and commitment that go into every show.
Productions like this give students the chance to build confidence, collaborate with their peers, and develop skills that extend well beyond the stage. It takes countless hours of rehearsal and preparation to bring a show to life, and the results were on full display both nights.
Centennial School District is incredibly proud of every student and staff member who contributed to this production. Thank you to the families and community members who came out to support our performers. Congratulations to everyone involved on a job well done!

Yesterday, McDonald Elementary held its Coat Drive, an effort to make sure families in our community have the warmth they need as the colder months arrive.
The event offered even more for families to take home. Thanks to the Pass the Play Foundation, gently used sports equipment was available, including cleats, baseball bats, gloves, and more. Having the right gear can open the door for kids to join a team, try a new sport, or simply stay active and have fun with friends. Families could also pick up math, reading, and technology resources to support learning at home.
Events like this show the strength of our community and the value of community engagement. When schools, families, and community partners come together, children are better prepared to learn, play, and thrive.

Our SPIRIT program recently completed its first full-program Community-Based Instruction (CBI) trip to MOD Pizza in Valley Square! The outing gave students a chance to take the skills they have been building in the classroom and put them to work in a real-world setting.
The trip began with safety. Students practiced navigating parking lots and crosswalks, using what they have learned about staying aware of their surroundings and moving safely through the community.
Once at the restaurant, students put their money management, purchasing, and ordering skills to the test. Each student independently ordered and paid for their own meal, from choosing their food to handling the transaction. It was a proud moment to see their confidence and independence on display.
Community-based instruction is an important part of the SPIRIT program because it allows students to practice essential life skills in the places where they will use them. Opportunities like this help students build confidence, strengthen their independence, and connect classroom learning to everyday life.

Klinger Middle School was a sea of pink at the Pink Out pep rally, where students and staff came together to cheer on the Fall sports teams and show support for a cause bigger than the game.
The Pink Out theme gave the day special meaning. By wearing pink, Klinger students and staff stood in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer, showing that school spirit and compassion go hand in hand. Players shared their excitement, and coaches thanked the student body for their support.

Willow Dale Elementary School fifth-grade gifted support students brought creativity and engineering to life by designing and constructing Halloween costumes for their fifth-grade teachers!
Students worked collaboratively through the engineering design process to create roller coaster costumes. They began by designing and building prototypes using 5" x 8" cards to construct models for 10-inch action figures. After selecting their final design, students worked together to scale their models to life-size to fit their teachers.
Through creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and perseverance, students transformed their initial ideas into unique, wearable creations! This hands-on project gave students an exciting opportunity to apply engineering concepts in an authentic, meaningful way while celebrating the Halloween season.
We are proud of these students and their creativity, collaboration, and hard work! What a fun way to showcase the innovation and talent of our Willow Dale learners!

Last week, Willow Dale Elementary went all out in pink for its Student of the Month assembly. Students, staff, and families wore pink in solidarity to support a cure for breast cancer, while also cheering on students who had an amazing month at school.
Families were invited to join their children as we recognized students who have shown kindness, effort, and leadership in our school community. It was a special moment to look out and see so many proud parents and caregivers in the audience, celebrating right alongside their children.
The sea of pink was a powerful reminder that our school community comes together for causes that matter, and that the character we celebrate in our students, including compassion, caring, and community spirit, shows up in all of us.
Congratulations to all of our Students of the Month, and thank you to the families who joined us and wore pink in support. We are so proud of our students and grateful for a community that shows up for them.

On Wednesday, October 21st, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick visited William Tennent High School, meeting with Conflict, Diplomacy, and Resolution students in the school’s library to discuss his role and answer their questions about current events and policy.
During the visit, Congressman Fitzpatrick spoke with students about current events and policies that tie into what they are currently learning, giving them a firsthand look at the role he plays in representing their community at the federal level. Students had the opportunity to engage directly with him, asking thoughtful questions and gaining valuable insight into how government and policy decisions impact their everyday lives.
Opportunities like this give our students a meaningful, real-world connection to civics and government, helping them become more informed and engaged citizens.
Thank you to Congressman Fitzpatrick for taking the time to visit with our students!
