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 early November 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.
Have you noticed fiber arts like sewing and embroidery making a come-back? We have! The Art Awareness committee is excited to bring the traditional art form of hand embroidery into the classroom. Embroidery has ancient roots across all cultures and remains popular today. Each student will use fabric and stitching techniques to create a house on their very own embroidery hoop.
We are looking forward to The Art of Embroidery during Art Awareness week 2/11 – 2/15.
