Mrs. Zittergruen's kindergarteners turned their classroom into a cozy adventure today! ✨ As a special reward, students got to build their very own blanket forts! As you can see, they enjoyed every minute!

Sergeant Wright and Sergeant First Class Mumby with the National Guard spent the day with our high school PE classes, and it was a hit!

Students took part in a game of Medic Dodgeball, which is a fun twist on a classic that mixed in pushups and teamwork, with medics jumping in to “save” teammates and keep them in the game.

We appreciate them taking the time to connect with our students and bring a new level of energy to class!

Central Alum Tate Berns was in Mr. Wiley's classroom today to talk to the Sociology class about his current position with the Marion Police Department and also to talk about deviance, a chapter the class had recently learned about. He discussed the rise in certain crimes like fraud and how other crimes like burglary or robbery have decreased. Tate brought his expertise to the classroom about law enforcement, labeling theory, and cultural transmission that happens with deviance.

After class, Tate made his way to the lunchroom, where he quickly became a crowd favorite! Thanks for coming, Officer Berns!

Bringing science into fashion! 🧪👕

In our Natural Dye Lab, students explored how everyday ingredients can transform fabric—just like in historical times. Today’s highlight: using turmeric to create a vibrant, natural dye! 🌿✨

It’s amazing to see students connect science and fashion while getting hands-on with the process. The Science of Fashion is so much fun to explore!
