Weeding & Wine – Sunday October 27, 3 to 5 PM

Central School Parents – help maintain the Central School Garden, meet some fellow parents, and enjoy some libations and conversation afterwards! Please meet in the Central School Garden on Sunday, October 27 at 3:00 PM. We’ll be clearing the vegetable gardens for the season, and you are welcome to glean any of our vegetables and herbs. We have all the equipment you’ll need, even some gardening gloves. Afterwards, we’ll walk to the Wilmette Wine Cellar (1100 Central Ave.) for refreshments and conversation. Please sign up HERE!

Learning Commons Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to see this wonderful resource from the inside, as well as say “Hi” to your child(ren), if you choose a day that corresponds with their class schedule. more >>

Recess Volunteers

Recess is available for volunteers every day and there is no need to sign up and reserve a spot. Just pick a day, check in at the front office, put on the lovely bright green vest, and head out to the blacktop/field/playground!

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.
