Our Centralia Yearbook Sales Drive is underway. Again you have options to purchase your yearbook. You can use the attached form or you can order online at http://yearbook.jostens.com/.
Option 1: Print off the attached form or if you have an elementary student they had a form sent home with them. Fill out the form and return it to Centralia Schools with a check for the appropriate amount.
Option 2: Online purchase has changed this year. We are not able to purchase personalizations using the online option. If you desire your Name and Icons to be added to your yearbook you must use the form and send it back to school. Sorry, I don't have control of that option. If you just want a yearbook without personalizations then Navigate to http://yearbook.jostens.com/ search for Centralia Schools of Kansas and when you see our panther logo you know you are on the right school. Fill out the form and pay directly to Jostens with a credit card.
Same great price either way. Just get your copy reserved soon!

Tonight after school we also had some students competing in Esports. I am not much for help with gaming but I supervised them as they played League of legends vs another High School Team. According to them it was not pretty because the opponent was quite good. But in the end the goal of esports was to get as many students as possible to be a part of a team. We would like to thank Blue Valley Technologies for their donations towards this program.



It's beautiful night for the Centralia Frankfurt softball team to play their first game of the year. This is the first game on a very nice looking softball field constructed by local volunteers. Go Panthers!!
