Centralia School

Mr. Shear’s Biology classroom has the objectives clear for the day! One of the Fundamental Five Principles. I found a few wondering students showing off their brand new sunglasses they made using a 3D printer in Mrs. Bergman’s Physics class. Shining Bright on Friday!

During Art, Mrs Ruebke showed high school students how to make pencils markings smoother using baby oil and rubbing alcohol, Mrs. Bergman was taking the 7th grade through new Math Apps, and Mrs. Kramer was addressing Food Safety! I am learning all kinds of information this year!

Mrs. McKee and 4th Grade working on structures and how many pennies their bucket could hold. Mrs. Conley reading a story to her 2nd grade students. Mrs. Talley studying the science behind glow sticks with 3rd Grade. These just a few of the classes I saw today. We Shining Bright!

Well this didn't take long. The Seniors were sent to the principals office on day 1! These young men and women will be great leaders for our school. It is their "Time To Shine". The staff and I challenged them to decide right now to have a great year and to enjoy it!

We are still going strong on day. We started in the Gym with a K-12 Pep Rally. Glow Sticks for everyone and Butterfly lights on the Seniors. Our Theme This Year--Time To Shine-We sang songs to start off day and made sure every student knew that we are one unit, one Family!

Great night for the incoming Kindergarten Class. They met with Mrs Holthaus and began getting acclimated to their new classroom. Thanks to all the Parents for bringing them tonight. Time To Shine Panthers!

I have had a great start to the 2022-2023 School year because of this great group of individuals. I am lucky to get the opportunity to work along side of some of my past teachers. Absolutely amazing how many lives they have impacted! Time To Shine Panthers!
