Mrs. Danielle Shea has been working with Central students through Junior Achievement. Here you see Mrs. Shea and students learning terms about money, like what deposits and withdrawals are. She is also teaching them about making smart decisions with money. Central CSD is fortunate to have so many great community members that share their time with our students through JA. Thank you, Mrs. Shea!!!

Mr. Ungerer's class is working on building models of bridges to show compression & tension.

Recently students in Mr. Downs's PE class finished up an archery unit. Students were introduced to the fundamentals of archery, focusing on safety, technique, and accuracy. Throughout the unit, students progressively developed their skills in shooting a bow and arrow, and many were able to find that bullseye! Some were even able to shoot themselves a snack!

What do you do during a storm? Have an honor choir festival, of course! While the weather may have slowed our rehearsals down, eight middle school singers represented Central at the NEICDA Honor Choir Festival held at Oelwein last night. It was a day full of fun, lots of food, wonderful music and new memories made. Congrats to our Central Honor Choir singers on an amazing performance!
