In Our Community
Kids For Ukraine — Created by Center School Students!
On the Back-to-School call, 8th Graders Nazar Zavada and Connor Margolis shared an update about Kids For Ukraine, an organization they co-founded in March 2022. To date, they’ve raised almost $900, which has been donated to two not-for-profit
organizations providing support to children and families in Ukraine.

PTA Committees and Meetings:
The Auction Committee will be holding a kickoff meeting THIS Friday, October 7th
at 8:40am in the school courtyard. We welcome anyone who is interested to come join us for coffee and to learn more. We are looking forward to an in-person return to the auction and would love help in all areas: soliciting great donations, decorations, food and more. Come learn about Center School’s very unique auction and potluck (where it’s a family affair … students and siblings all join in the fun too). It’s a fun way to get involved and meet other Center School families.
