How many know that Central CSD has it's own coffee shop? Central Perk is operated by Clayton County BEST students and is open to staff and students on Wednesday and Friday mornings before school. Recently they have designed an updated logo and menu and we hope to showcase what they have to offer a little more next week. Pictured here are Ms. Hayzlett, CCB student Caitlin and a frequent customer, Mrs. Lechtenberg.
The final week before Winter Break at Central will bring a little fun to our school days. Take note: Winter Dress Up Days posted here! Start planning now for next Monday!

Upcoming Warrior Events for the week!
5th graders studied pond ecosystems, and the importance that each organism contributes to the sustainability of the pond! Algae Blooms are taking over lakes due to fertilizer run-off. Students teamed up to beat the algae with preventative projects like cleaning up after pets, keeping storm drains clean and planting plants along the waters edge.
5th graders celebrated Computer Science Week! They were graphic designers and learned how to layer, resize, and practice depth proportions to give their scene a 3-D look! They did great and I think we have potential designers here!
