Staff Appreciation Week

May 6th-10th


Join the PTA for the final General Meeting of the school year on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 am in the Centennial Cafeteria.  Come celebrate all the PTA has accomplished this school year and learn about what lies ahead next year, including approval of the 2019/2020 proposed budget.  Coffee and breakfast treats will be served.  We hope to see you there!

Texas Rangers and COACH KAY

Let's go to the ballgame! Join us as we cheer on the Rangers and our very own Coach Jenn Kay a 2019 Rangers Ballgirl!

Date: May 18-3:05 pm Rangers vs. Cardinals

Join us in section 10 where a group of seats have been reserved specifically for Centennial students and families. Seats are close to the action and close enough to see Coach Kay. Families are encouraged to come early to the game and watch Coach Kay warm up the ballplayers. Don't forget to bring signs, noisemakers, and your Centennial Spirit!

Monday, May 20, is Field Day!  Field Day is one of the most anticipated days of the school year, filled with teamwork, games, fitness, and outdoor activities!

The Field Day Schedule is as follows:
Grades K-2:  8:30-11:00 am
Grades 3-5:  12:00-2:20 pm

Students should wear tennis shoes and their Centennial Field Day t-shirt (in the color indicated below for their grade level).  Parents may want to pack a change of clothes for their students, as some of the games involve water.  Field Day t-shirts can be ordered HERE --> https://centennialpta.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/37829.  Remember that the color and shirt will follow your Comet through their tenure at Centennial, so you may want to order a size that will accommodate a few years of growth.  Field Day t-shirt orders are due Wednesday, May 8 If you choose not to purchase a Field Day t-shirt, be sure your student wears a shirt in the color indicated below for the student's grade level:

Kindergarten:  Turquoise
1st Grade:  Yellow
2nd Grade:  Red
3rd Grade: Key Lime
4th Grade:  Royal Blue
5th Grade:  Tangerine 
Staff:  Hot Pink 

Check out the new design for Field Day t-shirts (shown below on a red t-shirt):



It takes many hands to make Field Day a success!  Sign up to volunteer HERE --> https://centennialpta.membershiptoolkit.com/volunteer/32471.  Remember you must be a PISD approved volunteer.
