School fields alive with record number of active students
A huge spring celebration has seen the fields at Charlotte Central School full of students participating in the growing body of spring activities available to them.
Charlotte Central School has a record number of middle school student participants in the spring co-curriculars of ultimate Frisbee, baseball and track and field. Additionally, there are many participants in the third to fifth grades in the volunteer-run (non-school activity) Girls on the Run, and in the rec programs, including soccer for younger students and martial arts for students of many ages.
The after-school Part 2 Program also takes great advantage of the spaces to incorporate play, movement and fresh air into the students’ day. On any given day after school a huge number of kids are taking part in something active.
Appreciating teachers
Teacher Appreciation Week runs through tomorrow, Friday, May 6. The activities and acknowledgements showered on the staff during this week not only bring joy, but have a way of energizing the school through the final weeks of school.
Also, Friday is National School Lunch Hero Day and a great day to show some extra appreciation for cafeteria staff — Sherry, Deb, Vicki and Scott.
