Dear Center School Families,
We are officially halfway through the school year and rapidly approaching the 100th Day of School. As in past years, we will celebrate the 100th day of school by collecting 100 items by class to donate to our local food bank. Teachers will share the items their class is collecting with their families. Students have the opportunity to “Dress like a 100 year old” on the hundredth day. Looking forward to seeing how well we all age!
Valentines Day is also coming soon. Teachers will share class lists with families. Please do not send in food items with the valentines. Thank you.
Our Kindergarten Ready, Set Grow program for students will take place on February 8 from 5-5:45 at Center School. This is an opportunity for students to meet the teachers and participate in an activity with their future classmates. Please RSVP here if you and your child will attend. If you know a family interested in Kindergarten for the fall, please share this with them.
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.
From Mrs. Caporuscio
Parents of our Second and Third Grade students, we will be starting our Gizmo program in the coming weeks. Please see the Gizmo letters in the Virtual Backpack.
Thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us and partnering with us in your child’s education!
Best,
Lisa

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.
Please see the important information regarding the change in the breakfast and lunch program.
