Central Elementary News February 6

02/06/26

Central Families,

Our first week of Paint Kenowa Green was full of great discussions and activities all about Social Connections. We wear green every Friday during February to raise awareness and promote mental well-being for everyone. This week's theme is movement!

Beginning today, students who arrive between 8:30 am - 8:35 am will continue to line up with their classes. Kindergarten and 1st grade students will now line up on the main playground sidewalks (near where the 2nd and 3rd grade classes already line up).  The school day begins at 8:37 am. Any students who arrive after the classes have already walked in (at 8:35 am) will need to enter the building through the front office. If it is raining or below 0 degrees, we will skip the morning lines and all students may enter through the closest door to them, beginning at 8:30 am. 

I'm so excited to hear our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders perform their musical concerts tonight. Concerts will be at the KH High School Performing Arts Center (3825 Hendershot NW Grand Rapids, MI 49544). Details about the concerts and many more upcoming events are listed below.

Go Knights!

Central Elementary News February 7

Hello Central Families,

This month we are learning to care for our Mental Health by Painting Kenowa Green.  Paint Kenowa Green is our Mental Health Awareness Initiative that we run through the month of February. We chose green because the green ribbon is the international symbol for mental health awareness. During this month, we aim to start meaningful conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, and provide support for those who may be struggling. 

Through various activities and events, we encourage students, staff, and the community to engage in conversations, raise awareness, and promote mental well-being for everyone. Together, we can create a more understanding and supportive environment for all. Let's Paint Kenowa Green and spread the message of hope and support! 

This past week we focused on Collaboration and Team-Work.

LEARNING

Our Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
