Centennial and CPO have partnered together to purchase new playground equipment for Centennial Elementary School! This would not be possible without the wonderful support from our community at our CPO Dinner Night's Outs and with the Mrs. Field's Fundraiser! All Centennial students participated in voting for their favorite playground out of 3 choices. We are excited to reveal the new playground equipment that will be installed this summer alongside our existing structures. The new equipment will be blue and yellow, as well!
