To our family of supporters,

These are unprecedented and challenging times. Proudly, we are part of an amazing community and school district. Even in these difficult times, I have the opportunity to work with supporters, District staff, and our Board members, who all share the mission of continuing to provide "above and beyond" educational experiences for the students and teachers of Centennial School District beyond the adversity we all are facing.

During social distancing, I have been able to reflect on all those that have supported our mission. Their generosity of time, effort, and resources has really been a gift that is often immeasurable in the impact that it produces for the giver, the students, and the teachers.

The approach at CEF is truly one of teamwork in every aspect from planning fundraising events to providing mini-grants and programs. As the 2019-2020 school year shapes up to be one for the history books, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to an amazing CEF Board and Centennial community because none of these accomplishments or future plans would be possible without their dedication. Thank you!

Stay safe and stay healthy,

Carolyn
