Dear Center School Families,
We received a visit from Litchfield High School’s Kyle Harris, AP environmental Science teacher, and 6 of his students on Monday. They taught all students the importance of composting our food waste and keeping it out of our landfills. The town provided us with a composting bin to help us. Students have been working this week to reduce the amount of food waste they have and to compost what is left. Please ask your child to share how the week went and what they notice is left when they finish lunch.
Please remember to park only in the parent/visitor lot during drop off and pick up. The lower lot is for staff and handicap parking only. We need to ensure that all students and adults can safely arrive and leave school each day.

Fitness Bag Information
We are excited to introduce our Fitness bags which will be sent home with all Kindergarten through Grade 3 students this year. The activity is sponsored by Fit Together. Fit Together is a community collaborative formed in 2011. The initial purpose was to identify and implement environmental and social improvements in the Northwest corner of CT. Their mission is to build the healthiest kids, families and communities through sustainable strategies that foster healthy eating and active living.
Each bag has a variety of activities for students to share with their family and friends. Suggestions of games will be included, but you are welcome to create your own fun as well. Bags will be sent home each Friday with one student from the class. The bag should be returned with all the contents on the following Thursday so that another classmate can enjoy the following week.
If you would like to email pictures or share any feedback, we would love to have it. Information can be sent to the centerschool@lpsct.org address.

Food Services If you would like for your child to receive breakfast at school, please sign up using this form. The food service program needs to track the breakfasts provided, so you must order by 7:45am daily. You can also order for the full week ahead of time.
Starting March 1, all students are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch through the remainder of the school year. Please see the Virtual Backpack for more information.
