Fridays are better with Waffles! 🐶💙
Every week, therapy dog Waffles brings joy, comfort, and a whole lot of tail wags to Center Street School. His visits have brightened countless Fridays and made a lasting impact on students all across campus.
A big thank you to Waffles’ wonderful mom, Mrs. Puffer, for sharing him with us and spreading even more cheer with her adorable Waffles stickers!

Our Center Street Cougars recently wrapped up their CARE assembly series with a focus on the fourth and final pillar: Excellence! 💫
To bring this pillar to life, CSS’s amazing teachers performed a fun and engaging skit that showed what Excellence looks like in action—picking up trash even if it isn’t yours, cleaning up quickly after recess, and lining up right away.
They also took time to recognize students who consistently show Excellence in their actions and choices every day.
It was a joyful and inspiring celebration where everyone had fun, learned valuable lessons, and left motivated to keep showing their best!
Rain or shine, the Center Street Students and staff showed up in full spirit for this year's Run for Education! 💪👟
With smiles on their faces and staff members' red tutus twirling, this dedicated team ran, walked, and danced their way through the event—all for a great cause. Way to represent, Center Street!
Our next Board of Education meeting is Tuesday, May 13, starting at 6:00pm in the El Segundo City Hall Council Chamber (350 Main Street).
