Dear Center School Families.
Thank you to all who participated in our PJ Day! We will still be accepting donations to be sent to CCMC. You can donate online at
https://give.connecticutchildrens.org/fundraiser/5099238?is_new=true
The season of giving is here, and it is a very exciting time for all of us. It also gives us a wonderful opportunity to help those in our community that need assistance.
If you would like to help those in need, at Center School we will be collecting new toys, books, games, and non-perishable food items. Donations of retail gift cards (Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, GameStop, etc.) are very much appreciated for older children. This collection will begin on December 2nd. All donations must be received no later than December 13th. Unwrapped donations should be placed beneath the “Giving Tree'' in the main lobby. Retail gift cards should be delivered to the Center School main office. If you prefer to give a monetary donation so that appropriate gifts can be purchased, please make checks payable to “Center School”, and deliver them to the Center School main office.
We hope the spirit of giving will make your own holidays happier. Thank you for your generosity.
Important message from Mrs. Caporuscio, School Counselor, Students will begin Unit 2 of the Second Step program next week, Emotion Management. In this unit students will learn about feelings and how to manage and control strong, uncomfortable feelings.

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.
Information regarding breakfast and lunch costs and who is eligible for free lunch can be found here.
Previously shared information
If you are picking your child(ren) up at the end of the day, please ensure that you are walking them safely to your car. If you would like to enjoy some time outside, you are welcome to use the playscapes in the rear of the building.
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.
