BOOK FAIRS ENDS TOMORROW!!! 
The Dinosaur Book Fair is going to be extinct after tomorrow! Check out scholastic.com/bf/centennialpta for an online flyer and info on a new payment option - eWallet. eWallet works like PayPams, so you add funds via a debit/credit card and your child can independently use this money at the Book Fair You get charged once they make a purchase, and they can't spend more than you authorize.
Headed to Chick-fil-A (Park/Preston) to pick up lunch? Put your receipt in the counter or drive-in bin (or turn it in at Centennial) and we get 15% of the proceeds! |
Comet Campaign 2019: Thank You, Centennial! Thank you so much to all the Centennial families who participated in the 2019 Comet Campaign. Thanks to your generosity, the PTA was able to raise over $14,000, exceeding our goal of $12,000, to support PTA programming and investments in our students and school. 
Car Decals and Yard Signs will be coming home with eligible Comet Campaign participants who expressed interest in receiving them by the end of March. And finally, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the BELOTE family who won the raffle for the reserved parking spot for 2019/2020 school year! They were the lucky winner out of the 16 families who donated over $250 to quality for the drawing.
