The 37th annual Harvest for the Hungry drive to benefit the Anne Arundel County Food Bank is now underway! This year, our school has set a goal to collect 1,000 pounds of food and $1,000 in monetary donations to support AACFB and help alleviate food insecurity in our community.

The next meeting of the Innovative School Scheduling Workgroup established by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 14, 2024, in the Board Room of the Parham Building, located at 2644 Riva Road in Annapolis. The workgroup has been created to engage stakeholders in a robust conversation regarding school scheduling in Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) and to consider innovative school scheduling models for implementation in AACPS. It consists of AACPS staff, elected officials, and representatives from community organizations. Meetings are open to the public and public feedback on innovative school scheduling in AACPS and the work of the workgroup is encouraged. Individuals will be able to provide comment in person or virtually at the end of each workgroup meeting. A total of five speakers will be permitted to speak for three minutes each. Written comment may also be submitted to Grace Wilson, Senior Legislative and Policy Specialist, at gawilson1@aacps.org. As the group’s work progresses, more information will be posted at www.aacps.org/schedulingworkgroup. Those who cannot attend meetings in person can watch virtually through links found on that page.

Dear Central Families, We are blown away by the tremendous support and excitement over our upcoming Fall Fest! Unfortunately, the weather conditions are not looking favorable for a successful, outdoor event on Friday. Thankfully, our pre-arranged rain date of Saturday, September 28 from 5-8pm looks more promising! If you have already purchased tickets and are able to come to the event on Saturday, there is nothing you need to do. Simply, check in at the registration table and enjoy the event! If you have purchased tickets and are now UNABLE to attend on Saturday, there are a few options for you: Fill out the Fall Fest Voucher Request Form to receive a Greenstreet Gardens Fall Fest voucher to be used at a date of your choosing during their normal operating hours. No additional cost will be charged. Donate your purchases back to Central Elementary PTO. (This option will be applied unless you fill out the Voucher Request Form, above.) If you would like to purchase tickets to our event on Saturday, September 28th, please follow the steps below: Come to Greenstreet Gardens (391 W. Bay Front Road, Lothian, MD 20711) and proceed to the PTO’s “Need Tickets?” Registration Line where you will purchase tickets. We are happy to honor the “pre-order” rate of $13/person. We are in extreme need of some helping hands due to our date change. Please consider volunteering a portion of your evening to help our concession table run smoothly. Sign up here ! Please direct any questions you may have regarding Fall Fest tickets to centrales.pto@gmail.com . Sincerely, CES PTO
