Center Street recently celebrated Read Across America Week with a special assembly, where the entire school shared a quiet reading moment—it was truly a sight to see! 📚
Students also enjoyed classroom visits from our 5th-grade readers, participated in the Literacy Fair, and engaged in other exciting literacy activities.
Every day, our students continue to grow as readers and writers, and we are proud to celebrate their progress and passion for learning!






The CSS PTA recently hosted a Magic Night! 🪄✨
The evening was filled with astonishing tricks, laughter, and unforgettable moments as our magician wowed the crowd.
It was great to see students and families come together for a night of wonder and fun! The support of the amazing Cougar community helps make events like this possible!




We are thrilled to share that Clara Schiff, a talented second-grader from Center Street Elementary School, has won second place in the California State PTA Reflections competition! 🏆✨
Clara’s music composition entry titled, "Being Me" was submitted under this year’s theme “Accepting Imperfection”. Her submission stood out among hundreds of submissions from students across the state. Her creativity, dedication, and artistic expression earned her this incredible achievement, bringing pride to our school and community.
The PTA Reflections program encourages students to express themselves through visual arts, literature, music composition, dance choreography, film production, and photography. Clara’s work beautifully captured the theme and impressed the judges with its originality and heartfelt message.



On Friday, February 28, we held our third Cougars CARE Assembly, focusing on the "R" in CARE—Resilience. 💛🐆
To bring resilience to life, Mrs. Karich took the stage and guided students through three real-world scenarios. In each scenario, students had to choose between two responses, determining which one best reflected a resilient mindset.
Engaging in turn-and-talk discussions, students deepened their understanding of what resilience looks like in action at CSS. Next, Mr. Kyle took the mic to recognize and celebrate students who were recommended by their classroom teachers for demonstrating resilience in their learning and daily interactions.
Their dedication and perseverance were truly inspiring!


Our next Board of Education meeting is Tuesday, March 11, starting at 6:00pm in the El Segundo City Hall Council Chamber (350 Main Street).
