To enhance their current study of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, our first grade team hosted a Sunset Observation at the Muskegon State Park earlier this week!

Central fourth graders enjoyed a visit from Grand Valley State University’s New Music Ensemble to support the study of inspiration. The group from GVSU travels U.S. National Parks during the summer to be inspired by nature. They then compose and perform their own compositions.
Third (and some 4th) graders visited Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve for a day of outdoor learning on Friday. They planted 30 native trees, hiked, sketched nature, and learned from herpetologist JT Brown about various abnormalities found in some of the frogs at the preserve. Students also “adopted” their trees by naming them, taking measurements, and welcoming them to their forever home :)
The golden ticket is back, recognizing those who consistently demonstrate Respect, Pride, and Integrity. Congrats to our first recipients this school year! Thank you for showing the Rocket Way!
We promoted healthy eating and celebrated farm to school yesterday by crunching into regionally grown apples during the Great Lakes Great Apple Crunch! Next week, our food service will provide apple sampling during lunch period on Tuesday.
TONIGHT: Remember Fall Fest this evening from 6:00-7:00pm in the courtyard behind the school. Central students will receive a FREE pumpkin! There will be a Family Photo opportunity too. Treats and raffle tickets available for purchase. Come join the fun!
Students gathered in the gymnasium today to launch our Self-Direct theme for October. Self-Direction involves casting a vision, setting goals, and taking intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. You'll find Ride with Pride pledges in your child's take-home folder, promoting the Rocket Way along with safety outside of school!
