⭐ Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Ericka Allen! ⭐
This week, our Student Lighthouse Team selected Mrs. Allen as our Staff Spotlight — and they had some great reasons why!
Our students shared:
“She works hard to track AR points. She rewards students for reaching their goals and she planned the AR trip.”
Mrs. Allen goes above and beyond to encourage a love of reading at Central Elementary. From keeping up with Accelerated Reader progress, celebrating student growth, and planning meaningful incentives, she continues to make reading exciting and rewarding for our students.
Thank you, Mrs. Allen, for pouring your heart into helping our students reach their goals. We are proud to celebrate you and grateful for all you do for our Eagles! 💛🦅🖤

📚💛 Today we welcomed JCHS student Lily Shaw to CES! She did an amazing job reading to our students and inspiring our young Eagles to love books. Thank you, Lily!


📣 Reminder for Choir Parents 🎶
Our CES Choir students will be leaving school tomorrow at approximately 10:15 AM by bus for practice. They will return before regular dismissal.
No action is needed from families — we just wanted to be sure everyone was aware.

💛 Staff Shoutout of the Week: Mr. Jimmy Hitchcock 💛
Today was extra special — not only did our Student Lighthouse Team select Mr. Jimmy for this week’s staff shoutout… it also happens to be his birthday! 🎉
Our students shared that they chose him because:
✨ He works hard every day.
✨ He cleans up after lunch—every table, every time.
✨ They see him after school picking up trash and making sure our building looks great for everyone.
Mr. Jimmy is one of those people who makes Central Elementary better just by being here. He doesn’t look for applause or attention — he just quietly shows up, works hard, and cares deeply about our school.
We are grateful for his kindness, his pride in his work, and the example he sets for our students.
Help us say it loud:
Happy Birthday, Mr. Jimmy — and thank you for everything you do for our Eagles! 🦅💛🛠️

Today we proudly honor the brave men and women who have served our country, especially those connected to our Central Elementary family.
