A final memory of 6th grade math. We incorporated a scale factor of 1cm = 1 ft to design a tiny house. Creating a floor plan and shopping for furniture, appliances, cabinets, as well as bathroom fixtures, making sure items would fit based on the items measurements. Students kept track of purchases using Google Sheets and formulas for the program to figure all costs. Then created a 3D representation of their tiny houses.

The Central Warriors Girl's Track and Field team recently wrapped up their 2025 season with their annual end of season party . Highlights included honoring our 7 seniors - Reese Berns, Savannah Orr, Aspen Rork, Coral Rork, Isabella Schmitt, Alexis Thiese and Brooke Tieden . Special recognition went to Reese Berns - Leading Scorer, Alexis Thiese - Ultimate Multi Award - competing in all 19 events, 3 seniors who participated in both xc and track/field all 4 years- Coral Rork, Alexis Thiese, Brooke Tieden. State Qualifier - Natalya Singleton. Freshman of the Year - Blair Scherf . The seniors main advice for underclassmen - participate in as many sports and activities as you can while in school because they all provide different challenges and rewards , stick out track/field as you can keep challenging yourself and accomplish new things every year.
