Central Park Elementary School

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday February 17th, is class picture day.

Individual spring photos will also be taken, and there is no retake day for these photos. Your child brought home an order envelope for class pictures to be returned tomorrow. Individual pictures will be available for purchase when the packets come home at a later date.

🐝 Buzzing with excitement 🐝
Our second graders had a sweet learning experience! Mrs. Kelly (one of our front office rockstars + beekeeper) talked to us all about bees and what it takes to care for them. She shared real tools, knowledge, and stories from her work as a beekeeper, and our students were absolutely fascinated!
This presentation tied perfectly into our insect knowledge unit that we are wrapping up this week. We love when real-life experiences bring our learning to life.
Thank you, Mrs. Kelly, for sharing your time and expertise with our students!🌼🍯

Our scientists in Ms. Hagel's 2nd grade class explored how water shapes the Earth! 💧🪨 Through our ''Why is there sand at the beach?'' activity, students modeled erosion by pretending to be a river and breaking down “rocks." This helped them to understand how sand is formed at beaches over time. Hands-on learning at its best!

Just sharing the joy that these kindergators bring to a random Thursday...and to every day! Thank you to Mrs. Fikes' students for making us all smile with their love for school and for learning!

The care and concern that these ladies have for students and families is unmatched. We are so grateful for all that they do to support our Central Park school family. Please join us in celebrating them during this National School Counseling Week!

Ms. Newkirk's royal students celebrated the end of their unit of study in style. We were so excited to have all these kings and queens walking the halls!

Students in Mrs. Reinert's class learned about a new sound today! Then they used the new sound to write words like bench, lunch, branch, and chips. We are so impressed with these kindergators! Way to go!

Let's give a big round of applause to our second grade gator award winners! Way to go!!

Happy Friday! We are so happy to have our gators back at school today!

Attention 4th grade families! Put this on your calendars so you can learn all about middle school!

Don't forget to get ready for grade-level color wars on Friday!

Congratulations to our school spelling bee winner, Vithul! Let's also give a big round of applause to our runner-up, Grayson! We are so proud of all the students who participated in their class bees and the school bee this morning. Good luck to Vithul as he moves on to represent Central Park in the county spelling bee in January!

Mark your calendars for our winter spirit week coming up soon!

There are a few more opportunities to learn about our parent choice schools coming up soon.

Our second graders had the best day exploring the Botanical Gardens! From learning about plants and pollinators to walking through the butterfly house and feeding chickens — their curiosity was in full bloom.
After so much fun, fresh air, and exploring, the ride back was a little quieter… 😴🚌💤
Nothing says a successful field trip like a bus full of sleepy gators! 💚
