Parent-Teacher-Central strives to add to the fun, educational experience of all students at Central Elementary. Our fundraising efforts directly benefit our school, students and teachers, and our events aim to increase family involvement.

We need your help, and so do your children. Get involved TODAY!

Volunteers do not necessarily have z

time.They have

z heart.

- Elizabeth Andrew

No Black Holes!

GSigning up does not mean you will get

“sucked in.” It just means you are willing to give what time you

can.

2 Hour Power!

If we can get every Central parent to commit Just 2 Hours to helping out, we can do amazing things for

our kids and our school.

Will you please take the 2 Hour Involvement Pledge?

b Spirit Sticks!

Spirit Sticks are small, collectable patches that can be earned for special rewards or academics.

All students will have opportunities throughout the school year to earn Spirit Sticks to put on their Sprit Ring

Some limited edition Spirit Sticks can be purchased each month through order forms sent home, and at PTC Family Nights.

Seeing and Signing up for Volunteer Spots is easy! a
