School families will have ample opportunities to enjoy exciting learning activities together this winter thanks to the collaborative efforts of Central-Denison, Eastview and Star Center Elementary Schools.

Author Visit & Family Reading Night

P opular children's author Alan St. Jean visited our elementary schools the week of Jan. 23.

Families were invited to join in the fun on the nights of Jan. 25 & 26 at Eastview and Star Center to meet the author, get autographs & listen to his masterful stories.
