A Message From Your Principal - CentralStudents Give Back to Their Community ThisHoliday SeasonThis is the season of giving and our Central Student Council membershave learned, �rst hand, what it means to give back to their Lebanoncommunity this holiday season. Student Council members from CentralElementary sponsored a Dance this month attended by 200 Centralstudents that raised over $2,000 thanks to the generous support of ourCentral Community. ALL proceeds went toward the purchase of Christmas gifts and food items fortwo families and 10 children in our Lebanon community. Diana Fields and Kim Lahrman, Central Faculty members, co-sponsor the Student Council activities,and through their efforts have taught Central’s Student Council leaders the importance of beingphilanthropic leaders in their own community. Student Council members and parent volunteersassisted with the purchase of the gifts as well as wrapping and delivering. Thank you all for supporting this very worthwhile fundraising effort this holiday season. We wish youall a very Merry Christmas!

Arrival and Dismissal ProceduresWith the addition of several morning student activities, we realize that the early morning tra�c hasincreased at Central Elementary. We wish to provide a friendly reminder to our parent community thatcar line safety is a top priority for our Central students.Here are a few car line safety routines to keep in mind when dropping off your student(s) in themorning, as well as after school pick-up.

We request that cars park in single �le in the horseshoe driveway of the front entrance of Centraland along Williams Street.Students are required to enter and exit vehicles from the driver’s/sidewalk side of the vehicle toavoid being in the pathway of other vehicles in the driveway.We ask that parent vehicles remain in single �le and refrain from maneuvering around parkedvehicles once their child has exited their car.Remember, ALL car riders are asked to remain in vehicles until the Arrival Bell rings at 8:45ameach day.

For those parents waiting to drop off or pick-up students, please exercise patience and good judgmentas our children walk to and from vehicles daily. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping withmorning arrival and afternoon pick-up procedures at Central to support our daily efforts to keep ourCentral Tiger Cubs safe.
