Posted Jan 25, 2012 | Category: Everything Else

Did you forget to buy a copy of the Roadrunner Yearbook from a previous year?

There are stacks of free yearbooks in the office from 2001-2011.  Come and get them!  They will be recycled if not picked up by the end of this week.

If you are unable to pick it up in person at the school, e-mail Amy Jacksic at pres-amy@centralptonews.org to arrange to have one sent home in your child’s backpack. 

KidsCare Collection

Posted Jan 25, 2012 | Category: Everything Else

Through your generosity, KidsCare was able to collect $1023 for the Holiday gift card program for families in need!  Thanks so much for your contributions to this program. Your amazing generosity this year has brought tears to my eyes. This is my last year at Central, and it has been wonderful to see how generous and caring everyone has been over the past years. 

Thanks again,
Cheryl Dowling
