Last week, two bright students took the reigns of Centre Avenue where they served as Principals for a Day.

Principal Scarpaci and Principal Maxwell started their hectic day with an important meeting before visiting classrooms for some instructional rounds. They closed out the day with a meeting with Principal Kelly to recap and discuss all that they had accomplished.

It was a great day and we are so proud of these future leaders!
