Giving Tuesday Pledge Drive Promotion
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on being grateful for what we have. At the Center School, we are so grateful for our families and our staff. We are also grateful for all the donations we have received to help us keep our wonderful school rich with activities and support. If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, please consider donating on Giving Tuesday, November 28. We will be running a friendly participation contest by advisory to win a pizza party. More details to come after the holiday.
Opportunities for our D3 Students
Lincoln Center’s Young Artist Pipeline is an arts training program for middle school students. Pipeline seeks to address the opportunity gap that many students experience due to the prohibitive cost of training in the arts. Please note this program is only available to sixth-grade students, with preference given to students attending a Title 1 school in District 3.
Applications for the spring 2024 session will open on December 13, 2023.
