Thankful Hearts by our Thankful Tree!
A note from the Principal:
Dear Families,
As Thanksgiving approaches, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of Centennial Elementary. Your partnership is invaluable in creating a warm and nurturing learning environment for our students.
We have had a strong and successful start to our school year, and that is not possible without your support. From volunteering in classrooms to attending school events, your dedication has made a significant difference. Your contributions, both big and small, have helped us create a vibrant school community where every child feels valued and inspired.
We wish you and your families a joyous Thanksgiving break filled with love, laughter, and peace.
With Gratitude,
Jenn Byxbe, Principal

Centennial Giving Tree
For those who would like to donate for our 2024 Centennial Giving Tree event, please visit the front office, between Nov 18th – Dec 6th, to select a tag from our giving tree box that describes the item(s) needed/wanted and sign out the tag on our log. Purchase the item(s); we ask that you spend a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $50. Wrap the gift and attach the tag to the gift. Return the gifts to the office no later than December 13th.
If you miss out on getting a tag, gift cards are also a wonderful way to bless these families and can be brought to the front office.
Food Drive
It’s the most wonderful time of the year when we ask you to bring in non-perishable food items for our annual Weld County Food Drive. It will take place during the week of December 10th-17th. Please bring items to your teacher and Student Council members will come by your classroom each morning to collect items. Our goal is to “Fill the Truck” and if we meet our goal, 6 students will be randomly selected to put a pie in the face of a staff member at an assembly. Thank you for your support!

About Book Fair eWallet
Give your child a safe, cashless way to shop at the Book Fair. This digital payment option can be used at the in-school Book Fair or online at the Virtual Book Fair, where you’ll discover an expanded selection of over 5,000 products. Plus, every purchase benefits our school!
How It Works:
– Create an account for each child
– Add funds
– Invite family and friends to contribute
– Shop the Book Fair
– Spend unused funds online or fund an eWallet for your next Fair!
After the Fair, remaining eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card but instead they become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. Be sure to sign in with the same email used to create the eWallet.

Cold Weather…Brrrrrrrrrr
As we are heading into this season when we may have some days with colder weather, please be sure to help your child be most successful.
- If the weather feels like 20 degrees or below, we will have indoor recesses.
- Have your child bring a warm coat and hat/gloves as needed.
- We ask that students have snow pants and boots if they would like to play in the field when there is snow on the ground.
- Our school district and school will communicate with our community if we have weather that requires us to move from in-person learning to an online learning day.
DO YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR ROBOTICS?
Are you interested in supporting the 2024-2025 Vex Robotics team for our Centennial 4th and 5th grade students? We are looking for 2 adult volunteers to coach our Vex Robotics team for this school year. Students typically meet for this extracurricular activity 1 day per week after school for 2 hours and then every other Saturday for 4 hours. They prepare their robots in preparation for our St Vrain Valley School District Competition which students would participate in and is hosted at one of our St Vrain Valley schools. Please reach out to Jenn Byxbe (Principal) @ [email protected] if you have interest or have questions about this opportunity. We appreciate your consideration for leading our students!”
Lost and Found
Students, your stuff misses YOU too! Please take a moment to stop by the Lost and Found area to check for your missing things!
The Health Office is in need of clothing donations. We are most in need of boys underwear in sizes S/M/L and girls underwear sizes S/M. Stretchy pants and sweatpants are the most helpful. Thank you so much!
IPad Insurance is a LifeSaver
Did you miss the window to pay for your child’s IPad Insurance? It’s not too late! You can still enroll in insurance provided that someone at Centennial completes an inspection of the iPad first. If it is damaged, the iPad may not be enrolled in insurance until the fee for the existing damage is paid. Please visit the school office today for IPad inspection and insurance payment. Click on the link below to read about what IPad insurance covers and why it is so valuable.
