With recent weather, Central's Earth Day activities were postponed to this past Wednesday. Students in grades 7-12 helped with with various projects in the community. Students worked at Motor Mill, Osborne, parks and around the Central Preschool building to clean up trash and groups also worked along local roads to help with ditch cleanup. Thank you to all the supporters who made this possible for our students. #EarthDayEveryDay

Indoor recess can be discouraging for students but playing games like Clue and Spoons with teachers make it more fun! Students also enjoyed building on to their Dojo Islands.

Central's Business Office was surprised today with some special littles delivering May Day Baskets! If this picture could talk, you would hear the cutest story! Thank you kiddos for the treats! It won't be long... and these little Warriors will be leaving daycare and heading to Central!

Mr. Trenkamp had some visitors today to wish him Happy School Principals' Day! Sixth Grade Students made cards for Mr. Trenkamp, which had to include creativity, color and show effort. They left their principal with a stack of good things to read!

Please join us in celebrating School Board Recognition Month by honoring Central Community School Board Members during the month of May. The board members you see here all work as unpaid volunteers who balance their own careers and families with the demands of overseeing a public school. They work annually to develop the budget to keep our school operational, they set school policies and procedures for the district and they hire and evaluate the superintendent as he manages the district. Please help us in congratulating and thanking each of the board members when you see them! Michael Whittle – Central CSD Board Member since 2015 Jered Finley – Central CSD Board Member since 2017 Jared Funk – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Courtney Scherf – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Josh Embretson – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Marcus Belser – Central CSD Board Member since 2023 Andrew Clark – Central CSD Board Member since 2023

School Principals’ Day is celebrated annually on May 1, to recognize the importance of principals, from elementary to high school, and all the work they do for the betterment of the school. While a student’s job is to work on studying and learning, a teacher’s job is to focus on lessons and teaching their students, school principals here at Central have a lot more on their minds most days. From helping students reach their achievements, managing students, as well as teachers, all while living up to the expectations of parents and guardians, the job school principals endure is often underestimated. They often can be found filling in for teachers and interacting with students, and you just never know what change in their schedules is going to happen. All of these things are done, while constantly working to create a better school for all who enter. Please help us celebrate and acknowledge our administration team here at Central! Thank you, Mr. Trenkamp for all you do for our students, staff members and families. The time and commitment you give to Central is greatly appreciated.
