March Character Trait of the Month : Awareness & Acceptance
At Central Elementary School we will be covering this topic as we go through the month of March.
"Teach each other to love and embrace others who are different, and explain how they make the world better and how it would be boring without them."
Take a moment to discuss this topic at home with your student ❤

The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.
Happy Women's History Month 💜
