🌟 Attention, 4th Grade Parents! 🌟 We’re creating Genius Night trading cards to celebrate the unique talents and strengths of our 4th graders, and we would love a photo of your child! 📸 You may send a basketball, football, dance, softball, or other activity picture—or simply a favorite everyday photo. We want every child’s personality to shine! ✨ Please send your child’s photo to their teacher by Wednesday. The photo will be laminated as part of the trading card and returned home, so please send a copy you’re comfortable having laminated rather than a treasured original. Thank you for helping us celebrate the genius in every 4th grader! 💛🖤

Be Proactive! Plan and prepare for next week by taking a look at the lunch options from our Lunch Leaders!

🦅💛 WE NEED YOUR HELP, EAGLE FAMILY! 🖤🦅 Do you have any old, broken toys lying around that you’re ready to throw away? DON’T TOSS THEM JUST YET! 🧸🚗🧩 Our talented Central Elementary students are getting creative in class with Mrs. Harless! They’re preparing to make recycled sculptures for our upcoming Genius Night, and we need your help collecting materials! We’re looking for broken toys, toy parts, wheels, action figure pieces, LEGOs, or anything else that could be repurposed into a creative masterpiece! ♻️ Instead of throwing it away, help us turn it into ART! 📍 Donations can be dropped off at Central Elementary School as soon as possible. Thank you for always supporting our students and helping us show that creativity has no limits! Learn. Lead. Live a Legacy. 🦅💛

🦅🖤💛 TOP 10% IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY! 💛🖤🦅 CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS SOARING! We are incredibly proud to announce that, based on our overall indicator rating on the 2025–2026 Kentucky School Report Card, Central Elementary School ranks among the TOP 10% of all elementary schools in Kentucky! 🏆 This is more than a ranking. It’s a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment that take place inside our classrooms every single day. Behind this accomplishment are teachers who go above and beyond, students who show up ready to learn and grow, staff members who give their very best, and families who believe in and support our school. Great schools don’t happen by accident. They are built through strong relationships, high expectations, intentional instruction, and an unwavering belief that EVERY child can succeed. As proud as we are of this achievement, we know our work is far from finished. We will continue challenging ourselves, raising expectations, and finding ways to make Central Elementary even better for the children we serve.

This is what happens when we refuse to settle, believe in every child, and work together toward a common goal! We aren’t just celebrating a test score. We’re celebrating students who are growing as writers, thinkers, and learners! ❤️ 🦅 Learn. Lead. Live a Legacy. 💛 Every day is a GREAT day to be an EAGLE!
