Dear Centennial High School Community,
Last night our Culinary Arts program, including scores of dedicated students, alumni, and staff, put on a beautiful retirement celebration in our school cafeteria. The celebration was for the wonderful Mrs. George, who has served as a vital member of the Administration Team at Centennial since 2007, serving as Administrative Assistant. We wish Mrs. George all the best in her retirement (today is her last day!) We also extend our sincere gratitude to the incredible students and staff who ensured that we were able to send off such a treasured member of our school community in style.
Please read on for some updates.
Good Friday Tomorrow
- A reminder that the school is closed tomorrow, April 3 for Good Friday
- Classes resume Monday
CHAMP Rain Barrel Fundraiser Event
- CHAMP (the Centennial High Association of Music Parents) is hosting a rain barrel fundraiser over the coming weeks
- Collecting rainwater is a great way to grow healthy gardens, and is a wonderful opportunity to show commitment to water conservation – especially considering recent and ongoing water restrictions in our city
- The City of Calgary provides a rebate ($50/barrel) for up to 3 rain barrels per purchaser
- The sale benefits CHAMP, and will be held at Centennial on Friday, April 24 from 3:00 – 6:00pm
