We've been asked where to send donations for the family of Nathaniel Haney, Centre fourth grade student, who was killed in a car accident last Saturday and this is what we received from Nathaniel's grandfather.:
Anybody that wants to make a donation to The Dawn Peel, Nathaniel Haney, or Peggy Sutton fund can do so at Central National Bank through My daughter Lela McIntire's Savings account. Any donations will have to be made out to Lela McIntire in form of check or a cash deposit. Thank you everyone.

Thank you to the SPOT for helping our family out in their time of need.


Parents and Guardians, Many of you may have already heard that Nathaniel Haney, a fourth-grade student at Centre Elementary was killed in a tragic care accident last Saturday afternoon, along with his mother, Dawn Peel and his great-grandmother. Nathaniel had just completed the third grade this last year after transferring from Herington at the beginning of the year. Nathaniel had was the older brother of Centre Kindergarten student Matthew, who survived the accident. Matthew was released from the hospital in Wichita today and is being looked after by his grandparents who also live in Herington. Hillary and I will be available tomorrow evening from 5:00-6:30 in the Centre Library to talk with any students, parents, or staff members that may need to talk to someone. Please keep Matthew and his family, classmates, and his friends in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

I want to thank the Marion County Sheriff's Department for their quick response to our school yesterday, even though it was a false alarm. A person in our building who was trying to call another classroom accidentally entered the code for an intruder alert, which goes directly to the sheriff's office and sets off an alarm in the school. After a quick check, the person said they hit the wrong number and set it off. Even though we called them and said it was a false alarm, they came anyway just to be sure everything was okay. I can't compliment Sheriff Jeff Soyez and his department enough for the support they give us at Centre. They are always willing to help when needed and work with us to ensure we are as safe as possible. Thank you for your response yesterday and your continued support. And thank you Terri Bina for the picture!

Congratualtions to Easton Glessner who is headed to State Golf for a second time! We are so proud of Easton! Good Luck at Dodge City next week!


The 8th grade promotion and 6-8 awards night is still planned for 7:00 tonight. I have talked with Emergency Management and the National Weather Service, and they feel we will be fine to go ahead even though we are in a tornado watch. Marion County will have Lester here with his command vehicle in case we need to monitor the weather more closely. Please pay attention to the instructions before the event tonight so you can know what to do in the unlikely event we need to proceed to the safe rooms. We know this is an important event for our students, but we also want to be as safe as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
