The Centre Cougars travel
to Stafford tomorrow for HS basketball. Please see the schedule below:


MS/HS Parents: Your student(s) need ear buds for a lot of the things they do in class. There are tools that allow things to be read, but without ear buds, it is difficult. PLEASE be sure your student has working ear buds for school. Cheap ear buds are recommended.


If you haven't already seen it, keep an eye out for a BRIGHT green permission form for the movie, and a teal reminder suitable for fridge hanging to keep the rest of the spirit days fresh in your mind.
