You may notice the new signs and temporary fences around the flower beds at Central. We are requesting everyone’s cooperation in supervising our children after school so that they do not run through the plantings. If your children are picked up by grandparents or babysitters, please let them know that students should be using the sidewalks. The Holly O’Hare garden, which was installed last summer near the District Office door, will be dedicated this spring, but only if the plants survive! Your PTA funds and memorial donations from many parents and students were used to create this garden. Please help us Protect our Plants!
