🌧️ A little rain meant a change of plans for our third graders today! After spending time with the cheerleaders, they visited the Earth Legacy Center in Elkader instead of going to Plagman Barn.

The students had a fun time exploring and learning about all of the unique machines and equipment at the center. A great way to turn a rainy day into a learning adventure! ❤️🤍

🌧️ A little rain meant a change of plans for our 3rd graders today, but that didn’t stop the fun!

Before heading out to the Legacy Center, our Cheerleaders spent some time with the 3rd graders this morning, teaching them the Central fight song and a few cheers! 📣❤️🤍

🎨 Art + Community + Warrior Pride! ❤️🤍

Our students are putting their creativity to work in a unique collaboration with Old Crow and Archive!

Monica from Old Crow provided brand new jeans and challenged our art students to transform them with Central-inspired designs. Students have been painting, creating, and adding their own Warrior flair, and we can’t wait to see the finished product!

The jeans will be completed this Friday and then displayed at Archive from September 19–28, where you’ll have a chance to place a bid in the silent auction. The highest bidder will take home this one-of-a-kind pair of jeans, just in time for Homecoming Week! 🦅

Did you know that we have Hudl cameras in the small gym and big gym where we will stream Central athletic events (and other events, too) throughout the year?

New this year, with the help of Alpine Communications, we have recently added the Dittmer Sports Complex to our Hudl streaming locations for football. Please note that at this time, the football livestream is video only and does not include audio. We appreciate your patience as we continue working to improve the livestream experience.

🛏️ Mattress Fundraiser Coming to Central! 🎶

Central's Music Department is hosting its 1st Annual Mattress Fundraiser on Saturday, October 10th, from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM in the Big Gym!

We know it sounds a little unusual, but this really is a great way to shop for a new mattress! You’ll find top-brand mattresses at below-retail prices, with the same brands you’d find at traditional mattress stores.

And the best part? Every purchase directly benefits our Central Music Department! 🎶❤️

Know someone who is in the market for a new mattress? Please help us spread the word! Share this post and tell your friends, family, and neighbors.

🇺🇸 Remembering 9/11 Through Computer Science

Today in Computer Science, our 6th graders used creativity and coding to create pixel art in remembrance of September 11, 2001.

Students worked with simple grids to code meaningful designs, including flags, hearts, stars, and the word UNITY, before bringing their creations to life through animation. ❤️🇺🇸

🥠 A Little Fortune Cookie Fun in the Lunchroom! 🥠 Today’s lunch was Mandarin Orange Chicken, and we added a little extra fun with fortune cookies! 🥠🍊🍗 The best part? We got to read the fortunes with our students and see what each cookie had to say! Some were funny, some were encouraging, and all of them brought a few smiles to the lunchroom. 😊 We love finding little ways to make lunchtime fun, memorable, and a little more exciting! ❤️
