Truck Day 2025

Rev your engines! It’s time for the Centennial Early Childhood’s Annual Truck Day event hosted by the Parent Advisory Council! 

Join us, rain or shine, at Rice Lake Elementary on Saturday, May 3 from 10am to 12:00pm. Climb into the trucks for a pretend drive and get your picture taken with some fan favorites. We do our best to have a sensory friendly time from 10-10:30am where we ask that no horns, sirens, or lights are used. You may want to bring ear protection just in case. 

Don’t forget to stop by the silent auction to bid on items from local businesses and national donors, pick out a themed basket assembled by our Early Childhood classes, or purchase a ticket for our large raffle item. Cash, check, and credit card accepted. All proceeds directly support the Early Childhood Program.

Do you have a vehicle you'd like to show off? Do you work for a company that would like to donate a service or merchandise to the silent auction? Contact PAC liaison Amanda Baumann at abaumann@isd12.org or 763-792-6137.
