Don't forget to Spring Forward! Remember to set your clocks forward one hour this weekend, time changes March 12th.
Perry Central School Resource Officer Clark and High School STAND students will be giving an informative presentation on vaping for all parents that you won't want to miss! Meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Elementary Cafeteria. A light meal will be provided and prize drawings will be available for those in attendance.
Vaping among preteens and teenagers has become extremely prevalent. Did you know that:
- Students as young as 4th grade are experimenting with vapes in Perry County?
- Students caught with vapes one time are more than likely to have recurring violations with vapes?
- Vaping does not just include nicotine; Officer Clark is field testing vapes containing THC.
- Vapes can be different sizes and shapes, including disguises such as pens and USB ports.
Good luck to the boys basketball team & coaches at sectional tonight! Perry Central will take on North Posey at 6:00 p.m. at Tell City. We hope to see the stands filled with green to cheer on the Commodores! #good2bgreen 🏀💚
Good evening, Commodores! We are going to have a 2-hour delay on Friday, March 3rd due to the impending severe weather in the forecast. We have buses traveling roads that are susceptible to high water, and we would like to at least allow the sun to come up so that visibility is better. Depending on the wind, rain and updated radar, we may end up needing to cancel for the day, but we are hoping for the best. Families should plan on a delay ONLY unless you get another message from us tomorrow morning. Thank you for understanding! Stay safe, Commodores!

The 6th-grade girls' basketball team ended its fantastic season at an impressive 10-2 record. A common theme in basketball is height=good basketball players. However, the girls showed this season that this is not always true, as they didn’t have a lot of height but had all the heart and hustle that they could give. Coaches Kelley Litherland and Laura James emphasized the need for aggressive play throughout the season. Coach Litherland quoted, “Coach Laura James and I consistently encouraged aggressive play, reminding the girls that it’s their decision to work harder than the other team. It’s their decision to sprint up and down the floor on every possession, to go after every loose ball, and to fight for every rebound. We may not play every game well, but we can always make a conscious decision to play hard and give 150% of ourselves.” Their two losses came to Cedar Crest, and both games were hard-fought to the very end with the second game even going into overtime. The coaches made sure to spotlight the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. The girls kept a positive and respectful attitude toward each other, the coaches, and the referees. This group of girls supported and encouraged each other to keep the mindset, “Be Great”. The girls made a point to always remember that how you practice is how you play. This group of girls has shown they are well-equipped to take on the new opportunities and challenges that junior high brings!

We are One School, One Family! 💚 Every student and staff member in our elementary received a gift today–a new PC shirt that reads, “We are One School, One Family… Commodores". It was amazing to see such cooperation among the 700 students in the gym this morning! It was evidence that we really are one school and one family!
