Arts in the Evening
Arts in the Evening occurs once or twice each school year. A performer or production is showcased for members of our community at Central School, usually in the auditorium or the gymnasium. All tickets are funded by iGNITE.
Garden Volunteer
The garden is open during recess on Tuesdays and Fridays (weather permitting) until late October and reopens in the Spring. Children can spend their recess in the garden to explore, help with garden work, play games with friends, read, draw with provided paper and art supplies, participate in nature art projects or just enjoy this beautiful, peaceful space. Parent volunteers who provide supervision during recess enable the garden to be open and accessible to children during that time.
Please sign up to volunteer HERE!
Art Awareness
Welcome to Central School’s Art Awareness program! The Art Awareness committee works to bring exciting extra-curricular art activities to Central School each year. This program is sponsored by the PTA and led by both parents and Ms. Berngard.
The 2019 Art Awareness project will be held Nov. 11th – 15th and will focus on three-dimensional self-portraits of each amazing Central student. Please save these dates so you can volunteer to help the children create their personal masterpieces. More details, with exact times and dates for each grade and class, will be posted in the fall.
Garden/Outdoor Classroom
The Central Elementary School Garden is over 20 years old! The garden is a wonderful school-wide resource, utilized by our Outdoor Classroom teacher who provides hands-on, curriculum-based lessons for all grades. Many of our faculty incorporate the garden into their teaching throughout the year, and children can enjoy the peacefulness of the garden during recess and after school.
