Centenary Thru-the-Week School
December 2025

We had a wonderful month celebrating Thanksgiving with our Preschoolers! November is a great time to recognize all of the good and many things God has provided for us and to think of Thanksgiving as a special time to be thankful for all of our Family and Friends!
This was a perfect transition over to Christmas where we will focus on the spirit of giving and the joy of being there for one another and showing kindness. Our rooms are already filled with all the happy sounds and delicious smells of Christmas, the laughter and singing of children, and all the fun artwork and decorations. Christmas is a wonderful time for all of us, but especially for the children. It means the celebrating of Jesus’s birthday and like all birthdays; it is a joyous and happy occasion. We have lots of fun activities planned including our pajama days, as well as making ornaments to decorate your trees at home, and a special gift for you to treasure for years and years.

Every year at Centenary Preschool we like to spend the months of November and December GIVING BACK to our local community in some way! Last year, the Preschool teamed up with the Church & Scouts and collected an entire van full of wish list items and toys for Coastal Women’s Shelter. They were able to use these items to help make Christmas dreams come true for so many families! This year we'd like to collect even More! Please consider grabbing an item from their wish list while you are out shopping this holiday season and dropping it in our donation box located in the preschool hallway by December 11th.
We will be delivering items to the shelter on the 12th Wish list attached below.

As a reminder, RCS DONATIONS FOOD DONATIONS remain essential and can be dropped off year-round. These donations can be dropped off alongside items for our current holiday drive benefiting the Coastal Women's Shelter.
We THANK YOU for continuing to provide food supplies, especially during the upcoming months!
