Centerville UMC changes name of preschool

umcpreschoola.jpg

Another successful school year has come to a close at Centerville United Methodist Church Preschool. This year we graduated 18 students who now are on their way to various kindergartens around Wayne County. We have already started registration for students who, in the fall, will be 3, 4, and 5 years old. For next school year, we will be changing the name of our preschool.  In an effort to highlight both our strong educational focus, and our Christian character teaching, we will now be Centerville Academic Christian Preschool.

We will still be the same quality preschool that has been at Centerville
United Methodist Church for more than 35 years, just with a new name. You can still expect the same high quality classroom education and strong moral guidelines. Our goal is to prepare students academically and socially for kindergarten as well as guide them to make good character choices that we hope will stick with them far beyond kindergarten. As you’re considering preschool education for your child, here are a few bits of information that might be helpful for you to know about Centerville Academic Christian Preschool.
 
Our class for students age 4 or 5 meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 to 11:30 or 12:30 to 3:00 Our class for students age 3 or 4 meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30.
 
Parents and adult family members are welcomed and expected to help in the classroom approximately once a month.  Each class is well staffed with a teacher, a teaching assistant, and a parent volunteer.
 
We participate in the “Minds in Motion” program which integrates young student’s brains with their bodies to maximize learning potential.Curriculum includes letter and number recognition, writing, math, arts, science, social studies, letter sounds, and Bible. We teach children in a structured classroom setting.
 
We have 8 Macintosh computers for student use.  We have a very modern playground with a soft shredded tire base.  We visit the library monthly, take field trips and host programs.
 
We have low monthly tuition of $50 for our age 3-4 class or $60 for our age 4-5 class.
 
Our preschool promotes fellowship among our families which often leads to a wonderful community of friends for you and your student.  For more information, please call 855-5576 or visit our web site at www.centervilleumc.net

Can you help tell the Centerville side of the Courthouse fight?

As part of the Wayne County bicentennial this year, the Centerville Library is helping to find the story of the removal of the county seat from Centerville to Richmond in 1873.  We have not been able to find in writing what the Centerville people of the time thought of the matter.  We know they were outraged and angry.  Newspapers from Richmond and other area towns only tell the Richmond perspective.  We do not have Centerville newspapers for 1873. 
 
Do you have any documents – newspapers, letters, journals, etc. that record what Centerville residents were thinking?  Please bring anything you have to the library and we will make a digital copy and return your original.  Thank you for helping to set the record straight!

Scouting for Food
Troop 16 would like to give a "Big Thank You" to the Centerville community for donating 919  food item to the Centerville United Methodist Church when we were collecting for Scouting for Food on Sat. March 27th.  Pack 94 donated 104 food item to the First Baptist Church of Centerville from the Rose Hamilton area on the same day.
 
Troop 16 honored their Scouts at their Court of Honor on Monday, March 29th with rank advancement for the following Scouts.  Scout- Cody Mann and Skyler Young, Tenderfoot- Dakota Wilson, First Class- Nathan Bennett and Josh Bennett.  Centerville Boy Scout Troop 16 has been serving the Centerville area since 1937.  They are chartered to the Centerville United Methodist Church, 120 South Morton Ave., Centerville. The meetings are on Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the church.  Leadership is an important part of Scouting and Troop 16 has been challenging boys to become leader for over 73 years. 

The boys of Troop 16 have the opportunity to lead the troop and make decisions on what they would like to see happen at a Troop.  The opportunities, are limitless.  The adult leaders are here to advise, teach and assist when needed.  Troop 16 offers a challenge to expand the boys knowledge in many fields of interest, with a strong Merit Badge program.  From September - May we offer many merit badges on a group bases, although each boy has the opportunity to investigate many other areas of interest on their own.

Camping is a strong part of Scouting and Troop 16 camps at least 9 weekends per year and plan one week long camp out each year. There is ample opportunity
for all the boys to earn money for their camp fund through several money earning projects through out the year. Every other year we strive to offer a different experience in camping. Troop 16 will be attending summer camp at Krietenstein Scout Camp in Terre Haute where they will be celebrating 100 Anniversary of Boy Scout of America as well as working on Merit Badges.  Some of the Merit Badges that are offered are swimming, canoeing, archery, rifle and shotgun. 

In addition to camping they sell Boy Scout popcorn, Scouting for Food, do parades, Archway Days Lemon Shake Up/ Hiking Tacos Booth, and Helping with
Christmas in Centerville.
 
If you are a boy up to a challenge of a life time between the ages of 11 and 17 or have any questions please call Scoutmaster Mark Culbertson at 855-2504  or Committee Chairman Allen Bennett at 855-5209.

Walking Through the Archways of Centerville

We’re walking through the archways of Centerville
We’re walking through the archways of time
What a wonder, what a joy for every girl and boy
To sing about historic Centerville.

We’ll tell the world we’re proud of Centerville.

Thanks to Reid Hospital for helping Easter Seals to help others!
 
Easter Seals Wayne & Union Counties will be able to help others in need in our community thanks to the generosity of Reid Hospital.  Easter Seals Wayne and Union Counties is a local not-for-profit organization who has served our community since 1948.  Our mission is to assist persons with disabilities reach the maximum of their capabilities and achieve as much independence as possible.  One of our programs that helps us achieve our mission is the Medical Equipment & Supplies loan program.  However, due to the increase in demand for wheel chairs and transporters, our inventory was quickly dwindling.  After learning about a Community Benefit Grant available through Reid Hospital’s Foundation, we applied for funding for additional wheel chairs and transporters.  
 
Because this opportunity was available and thanks to the wonderful staff, we were able to purchase 8 new wheel chairs and 3 new transporters.  We truly appreciate the generosity and support from our local hospital, Reid, their Foundation and the staff who helped to make this possible.
For more information about Easter Seals Wayne & Union Counties programs and services contact Cynthia L. Warren at 765-855-2482 or 765-914-6492.  You may also
