This is the 38th year of a program at Central Elementary called Arts and Academic Awards, or AAA. We are excited to once again offer this organized way of encouraging and recognizing our students’ achievements in many arts and academic subject areas.
AAA is an optional activity similar to doing 4H projects or entering items in the County Fair. Students can choose a category in an area they are interested in and prepare/practice for that category at home until the projects are judged. There are a wide variety of categories for students to choose from, including test-taking categories, performance categories, and project categories. Students in 1st -4th grade may enter one category, and students in 5th grade may enter two categories.
Students who choose to participate in AAA have to practice and prepare out of school for their projects. Students alone are responsible for their work; however, parents and teachers may provide direction and guidance. All work must be from the current school year.
Students who participate in AAA will have until May 2 to work on and prepare
their test/performance/project. Student entries will be judged during the school day by teams of district staff and community representatives. Each grade
level will be judged separately and ribbons will be awarded for three levels of quality.
Students will not be competing with each other for awards but will be judged on a specific set of criteria for each event.
On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 7:00 PM, a special AAA performance will be held for the public. The students who earn blue ribbons for their entries will be invited to perform or display their work on that evening.
