Centralia School students, parents, and community-Monday night's JV Football game with Valley Heights has been cancelled. Have a great Labor Day weekend.

Congratulations to the Cross Country Team today on a great start to their season. I do not know all the official results, but I do know we had some athletes who placed very high in the ranks! Awesome job to Mr. Crowthers and his team!!!!

Quick reminder to everyone that the Jason Adam’s memorial trap-shoot is today. This amazing family does a lot for the youth of the area!!

Mr. Thompson's Wildlife class had a good day fishing-A student's education can extend beyond the classroom-life lessons can be taught in a variety of areas. SO-- When life gets tough-WE must all keep throwing out the line-We just never know what We may Catch on the next cast!

Great morning for our students. Mr. Conley was in the Power Zone having Small group discussions about the Babylonian Empire-Mrs. G’s English class working News Reports-Mrs. Talley working on primary/secondary source’s-Mrs. Akin had students on a FFA educational game.

Slow response here BUT congratulations to the Centralia Lady Panthers for placing 2nd in their opening weekend of Volleyball. 4 and 1 on the day. Played Rock Creek in the championship and lost 20-25 and 22-25 in a hard fought battle. Great Job Ladies!!

Dear Patrons, Vermillion is reworking the water lines in town. The water has been an issue for our PreK building more than once so far. Today we were without water. We were able to remedy the situation and continue on. Admittedly it is a small distraction but not a show stopper. We have a temporary solution. The city is working feverishly to get things working again. Sometimes we need to be able to deal with adversity and this may be a great lesson for us. Joel Bickford

Centralia Schools had our beginning of the year bon fire. Thank you to all that were able to come out and support the event. Here are a few pictures from last night.

Mr Conley’s Community Topics class have been exploring projects that include the Centralia Community. Today a park bench was painted. Thank you to Mr Gudenkauf for helping. Student’s within class are also exploring projects that pertain to historical documents at city hall.

Skeeter the Clown visited the K-6 today. She performed some pretty amazing tricks and showed off her talents on the recorder and slide whistle. This presentation sets up the Circus which is coming to town on September 6th.

Big Thanks to the Frankfort side of the district. Misty and her kitchen crew (aka Carol) worked their tails off this past week. I helped on Wednesday for 90 minutes and was such great help Frankfort sent one of their own to help us :) RESPECT is the word I have for them!!
