April Reading Challenge Champions!
We’re thrilled to celebrate the amazing readers at Pauline Central Elementary who rose to the challenge and completed our April Reading Challenge!
Throughout the month, students across all grade levels showed incredible dedication, diving into books and exploring new worlds, characters, and ideas. Their enthusiasm and commitment to reading was truly inspiring!
A big shoutout to our amazing librarian, Mrs. Riner, for organizing such a fun and motivating challenge. Thanks to her creativity and encouragement, dozens of students reached (and even exceeded!) their reading goals.
To all of our April Reading Challenge completers: We are SO proud of you! Keep turning those pages and letting your imaginations soar — your reading journey is just getting started!

🍎✨ Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the Incredible Team at Pauline Central! ✨🍎
This week, we celebrate the heart of Pauline Central—our amazing teachers!
Every day, you pour your time, talent, and heart into helping students grow, dream, and succeed. From early morning greetings to late-night lesson planning, your impact goes far beyond the classroom walls. You are mentors, motivators, listeners, encouragers, and champions for every child who walks through your doors.
Whether it’s a breakthrough moment in learning, a kind word that makes a difference, or the endless support you give to your students and each other—you embody what it means to lead with purpose and teach with love.
Thank you, Pauline Central teachers, for everything you do. You are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated—not just this week, but all year long.

Celebrating Principal’s Day with a Special Storytime!
Today, Miss Pitzer’s Kindergarten class had a heartwarming way to celebrate Principal’s Day — by reading their handmade book about what they think principals do all day! The students gathered with big smiles and eager voices to share stories they love, showing off their blossoming reading skills and giving Mrs. Williams a well-deserved break to simply enjoy the moment.
It was a joyful way to say thank you for all she does every day — leading with kindness, supporting every student, and making our school feel like a second home. Happy Principal’s Day, Mrs. Williams — we’re so lucky to have you!
