| Kroger Cards |
|
Did you know you can buy your groceries and CDS will get a portion of the sale? Purchase a Kroger card in the school office for $5.00. It is already loaded with $5.00, so it doesn't actually cost you anything. At Kroger, load the Kroger card with whatever amount you choose. The cashier will then scan your groceries and you will pay with your Kroger Card. It's that easy and you are not spending any money that you would not have already spent. Every time CDS spends $5,000, Kroger will cut us a check for 5%! |

Christian Life Coach Program
Our Mission Statement reads as follows: "Our mission is to honor and glorify God and to support the ministry of Central Church by providing an excellent education with a Christian foundation in a safe, encouraging environment."
The Christian Life Coach program exists to support our students and their families towards the accomplishment of our mission in the context of a safe and encouraging environment. Working in close concert with the home, the CLC's purpose is to support students who may be struggling academically, spiritually, socially, or in other ways that would impede the learning process.
This semester we are starting a new phase of the program. As part of the coaching process, we are implementing for each student a brief get acquainted time with the director, Mrs. Clara Carmack. Our desire is for all of our students to be aware of this support, and also to facilitate a process whereby future problems or issues may quickly resolved for the benefit of the student.
