Central’s first character education activity of the year was September 8th. Mrs. Konda led students in an activity called “Ski Walk,” which involved several of our SCHARRP character traits. (perseverance, Compassion, Attitude, etc.) Students had to work together as a team to move their skis! Overall, the students did great and had fun while learning!

CHARACTER EDUCATION
The directors for this year's program are Kami Oelke and Chad Comley. Character Education assemblies will usually be held the first week of each month. Our classroom activities are conducted mostly on the first Friday of the month. Keep checking this site for more information. Our monthly activities and photographs will be posted here. View our Character Rap. To read more about our program, click Character Education.
Here at Central, we think our kids are SCHARRP. Follow along and we will tell you how...
This year's motto will be "Fired up for good character." with an ocean theme. During the months of August and September, students examine what course they will take to become better citizens. During the first part of the year, the 3rd-grade classroom activity will include the opportunity for students to place their handprints on our hallway wall. All new students and faculty members are also included in this activity. 4th and 5th graders participated in Captain's Coming and reviewed the character traits.
Students and staff are invited to place their hand print on our walls as a symbol of commitment to Central School and the Character Education Program
Our Character Rap, complete with actions, is sung at all Character Education assemblies.
