Monday, February 13, 2012 At their final meeting for this school year, the Center Elementary Parent Teacher Organization was delighted to present their first annual scholarship to Cameron Murphy, a Chelmsford High School Senior who attended Center Elementary. Cameron’s award-winning essay, chosen from among 15 applicants, described how his experience at Center helped to shape his further education, writing “As I go off to college in the fall, it is from my early years in elementary school, Center School, that I proceed with confidence, time management skills and most importantly, to be kind to other and try to always smile. ” Cameron received a $500 scholarship and plans to attend the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, this fall. The scholarship was established at the suggestion of Center staff member Kim Hill, as the first students to attend Center as kindergartners since it was re-opened in 1999 are now seniors in high school. The scholarship is open to any Chelmsford High School Senior planning to attend college, who has attended Center Elementary.

Scrip is one of the easiest ways you can help Center School from the comfort of your own home!  The Scrip program is about gift cards – both those you would buy for someone else (birthdays, holidays) or those you can buy for yourself for places you normally shop anyway – for example, if you regularly go to Starbucks, purchase the gift card through the program, then use it instead of cash when you buy your coffee.  If you shop at Walmart, or eat at Applebees, buy the card!  Use it when you shop.
