PLEASE NOTE: *Not every student has items to pick up. A good number of our lockers were empty, as we had students clean them out before we went on remote learning and we told students to bring everything home.

DESTINATION IMAGINATION: A Watts/Magsig Centerville Destination Imagination Service Learning team is running a bulb fundraiser right now to support their future service projects and competition costs – bulbs are ready to plant, will arrive quickly, many are perennials (so they will come back year after year), and all items are only $10!
Don't need anything for yourself? Send them as a gift to someone else! It's not just flower bulbs, either – they have hostas available, hanging basket kits with strawberries or shamrocks, or strawberry bulbs to plant in patio containers or a garden!
QUICK, flat rate shipping and not only is it a great way to represent your Elk Pride in your landscaping, but it ends up indirectly benefiting the community, too !! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT of this Service Learning team and this STEAM-based program (visit www.centervilledi.com for more information!).
