You better check with Centennial. They are open on Monday. Nothing on their calendar says they are closed.

That's interesting. My daughters' preschool follows the district's schedule and is closed on Monday. (Guess we all know what happens when you make assumptions!) I assure you, each and every other entry on the list has been called and verified.
Nonetheless, thanks for the catch, Cyndee! I have amended the article to reflect the proper information.
