Mrs. DeMarsh's 2nd Grade class is learning about Ancient Greece, and just read about the Greek goddess Athena and how she brought olive groves to Athens. So naturally, a taste test of green and black olives was in order!

Mrs. Walston's 3rd Grade class received a VERY special surprise today—a box packed with awesome Detroit Lions swag! 🏈📦🎉

Mrs. Walston was at a Lions game last week and stopped by the Fan Club Tent. While she was there, Lions staff asked if she had any “little ones” who might like a Detroit Lions T-shirt.

Her answer? “Yes! I have 28!” 😂🦁

And the Lions delivered! 💙

Her students were thrilled to open the box and discover Lions goodies waiting for them...tshirts, sunglasses, fidget spinners, and more!

A HUGE THANK YOU to the Detroit Lions for thinking of our Central Grade SuperStars and giving these 3rd Graders a surprise they'll be sure to remember! 🦁💙

It's the end of an era at Central Grade School!

Before our beloved building begins its next chapter through renovation, we celebrated! Our halls were lined with cheers as Seniors from the Class of 2026 returned to where they started, joining our 5th Grade Class of 2033 for an epic clap out.

While we close the doors on this chapter of Central Grade, we know that while buildings may change, the spirit of our SuperStars never will.

✨ Last Crew. Legendary Year. ✨

Thank you to our students, staff, families, alumni, and community for making Central Grade such a special place.

💚⭐ Once a SuperStar, always a SuperStar! ⭐💚
