A New Friend
Yesterday afternoon we had a new student come through the door. Although it didn't want to come to the office we had a hard time getting it out. Why is it that birds love coming in, but hate to leave? Is it really that nice inside? Eventually I gave up on getting our new friend to leave. A few hours later I happened to see my new friend walking down the hallway toward the exit. All is well in the building and hopefully my new friend wil visit me outside, instead of inside.

Summer!!!
Summer has arrived. That means sun, fun and building construction. The big dig has begun. On Monday, June 14th, they officially began removing dirt from the top of the building. Even with the amount of rain we have received as of late they are moving along as expected. Come September we will be looking at a completely different building. I think everyone will be happy with the finished product. If you happen to be in the area, please remember, we are a construction sight and need to treat it as such. Have a great summer and check back frequently.

Last Principal's Message for 2009-2010
Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe that this school year is coming to an end. I enjoyed having had the privilege of being with your children for the 2009-2010 school year. It’s amazing how fast they grow. Especially those Kindergarteners. I am reminded of how new and fresh and small they are when they come in for their visits each Spring. The transformation is astonishing. I want to thank each of you personally for allowing me to be a part of your child’s life while they are in our school.
Your child’s 4th quarter report cards will not be sent home on the last day of school. We at CES are trying to show our students that school is important and needs to be taken seriously right up to the last day. As part of this process we will not finish grading till the last day of school which is the 4th of June. Our teachers will have till the following Monday to get their grades turned in, so they can be mailed. I am sure all of you can understand the importance of working right up till the end and receiving your report card a few days later is a small price to pay for learning a lifelong skill.
The Central Elementary School PST would like to thank everyone for participating in this years fundraiser, helping out with the teacher meals and for helping with the carnival. Once again the hard work of our students and the dedication of the parents showed through with a great overall sale.
And continued support.
Our last day of school is June 4th. Students will be dismissed at their regular scheduled time, which is 2:50 p.m.
Again, thanks for a great year and I look forward to seeing all of the smiling faces of our students in the Fall. In the mean time have a great summer, relax, and enjoy being off. Remember to exercise your body and your mind equally for continued growth.

From the Principal's Desk Jan. 2010
Dear CES Parents,
This month I thought I would talk about motivation. At the half-way point of the school year people can become complacent and a little sluggish. The Minnesota cold will do that to you. Here are a few things to think about in regards to motivation.
Become your own cheering squad. Others can wish you luck and cheer for you, but only you can truly motivate yourself. You are the only one who can motivate yourself to get up each morning. Try to keep your thought positive and never be afraid to test your limits. Even when things may not be going your way, continue to find ways to stay inspired. Your mind can energize you, keep you focused, and provide you with the discipline you need to reach your goals. Your inner drive will give an extra push when you are feeling tired and encourage you to finish your toughest days. The mind and body need to work together. This balance does not come easy. You must first get to know yourself and make the proper adjustments in your lifestyle that will allow you to stay positive and focused.
I continue to enjoy my role as the principal of CentralElementary School and look forward to a great end of the year. In the weeks to come we will be doing Kindergarten Round-Up, making class lists, and preparing for summer school programs. If you have any questions or concerns my door is always open.
