Support The Home & School Fundraising Drive
Central's Home and School has pledged several thousand dollars to the school for computer, art and science supplies.  But, we are still $3000 short of our $6500 goal for donations.  Help us  to continue to provide the additional programs and supplies that are necessary to make Central special. This goal is even more important in light of the serious budget cuts our schools have been given.
Please, if you can, support the Home and School Assocation Fundraising Drive.  Click here  for a form, and to read how we have supported our students this year.
Any amount you can give is appreciated and will help our young people.
