Central School Gift of Giving-Gift Card Drive 2021
Hello Central School community,
Over the last 13 years, Central School Gift of Giving has partnered with two Chicago-based organizations during the holidays — LYDIA Home Association and Metropolitan Family Services (MFS). Last year Central School delivered an estimated $7,000 worth of gift cards, clothes, & toiletries to both LYDIA and MFS.

The yearbook committee has been hard at work to commemorate this school year. This year, we’ve planned a special vote involving your student for the yearbook cover design! Keep on the lookout for more details!
As in year’s past, we also want to make sure all school events and students are captured. Be on the lookout for an email from your room parent on how to submit photos directly to us.
Lastly, if you love taking photos at Central School events, please reach out to us at yearbook@centralschoolpta.org. CLICK HERE to order your yearbook NOW!
The Environmental Affairs Committee is excited to share that Central, along with other D39 schools, will be participating in the 2021-2022 Trex Challenge! The Green Team will help us kick off the challenge on November 15, America’s Recycling Day. Central will have collection bins located in the front lobby for plastic and film recycling. We will weigh the amount of plastic we’ve collected and then record and monitor our progress versus Highcrest, Harper, Romona and McKenzie as well as other national schools in our category. Please see the flyer below for a list of what can be recycled.

Central School’s administration and the PTA have partnered in a fundraising effort to improve our playgrounds. We are excited to have completed Phase #1 of the plan this summer with an entirely new Kindergarten Playground! Thank you to our fundraising team and all of the volunteers and families that made this possible. Please take a look at the new Kindergarten Playground HERE.
Although fundraising opportunities will be limited this year, we hope to continue to make progress toward our Phase #2 goal – a new main playground! All contributions to Pathway to Play will be used exclusively for this new playground. Thank you for any support you can provide.
