The Season of Giving
As the holiday season approaches, it is natural that families might want to give gifts to teachers and staff members. To show our gratitude, the PTA (on behalf of our entire community) sent a monetary gift to all members of the administration, teaching faculty and staff.
We are immensely thankful for the kindness and energy the Center School team has consistently given to our children. We wish them a restful and joyful Winter Break.
Should you have questions regarding the holiday gift, please feel free to contact centerschoolptatreasurer@gmail.com.

Space needed for Chamber Music Night
We are STILL looking for a location to host our annual Chamber Music Night in the spring. It is typically hosted in the home of someone from the Center School community. The space requirement should allow for 15-20 people + space for the ensemble to set-up. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Centerschoolspecialevents@gmail.com.
