Families of Central,
March is just around the corner and that means reading month at Central Elementary. I have something exciting planned for our students and their families! More information will be shared in the next couple of weeks. Remember to check your student's folder and classroom messaging apps for more information about reading month.

The Williams County Spelling Bee was held yesterday, and Central had a student who placed! Congratulations to Julie Issel from 2nd grade for earning 2nd place in the competition. A big shoutout to all the students who competed and proudly represented Central and Tioga High School. Way to go, PIRATES!

Last week, our FBLA members had an exciting opportunity to tour NCC and Pour Some Sugar Custom Cakes in Ray! They gained valuable insight into each business, explored the facilities, and met the incredible employees behind the scenes.
Not only did they come home with some awesome NCC swag, but they also enjoyed some delicious sweet treats along the way!
A big thank you to NCC and Pour Some Sugar Custom Cakes for hosting us and sharing their expertise!

Reminder about school bank at Central.
At Central today, the fire alarm was triggered—not by a fire, but by dust from a dryer vent covering the smoke alarm in a janitor closet. Students were briefly evacuated as a precaution. Once the source was identified, they were safely brought back inside. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Schaffer at Central.
Next week we celebrate the Future Business Leaders of America organization. FBLA members are working to raise awareness of the organization.
High School Students: Show your support by dressing up!
Congrats to the following Central students who will compete in the Math Meet.
