Students at Center Avenue Community School’s end of the year picnic were able to celebrate the competition of another year of hard work and accomplishments in the classroom.
Students enjoyed the outdoors and gymnasium with teachers and faculty, playing catch and games like tug-of-war on Friday, June 6, the school’s last day of classes.
The Center Avenue school has been lauded by district leaders like superintendent Brian White for the services they provide, from specific classroom needs to the Kids’ Weekend Backpack Program battling food insecurity.
“Our main mission here is to empower students to reach their full potential by prioritizing the authentic relationships between them and our support network and support staff, and the families too,” principal Keenan McGaughey said May 19.
