Class hallway decorations were a great success this year and received many compliments about how well done they were.  Movies were the overall theme for this week.  Sophomores received first place for their animation movie decorations.  “Sophomores came into the day not expecting to win but placing first was a huge morale boost,” said sophomore class president Bailey Becker.  Following in second were juniors who had a superhero theme,   then the spooky seniors with a horror theme, and finally the freshmen with a sci-fi theme.

The Eagle Bite was an overall success in fundraising for Centennial sports teams and clubs.  Domonique Andrews, a girls basketball team player said “It’s fun and a good way for the community to get together,”  Sophomores were “Raising bank,” selling lemonade. “It was frantic but helps us support our community,” said sophomore Tupou Fononga.
