About Ringing of the Bell Ceremony
Central's storied first-day kickoff: a short ceremony on the blacktop each September where the school bell is rung to mark the official start of the new school year.
Spirit moments are how Central shows up for itself - the small, joyful traditions that make the school feel like home from the very first day.
Good to know
- Who it is for: Central School families, students and staff.
