Tomorrow is the third Friday of March, which marks National Preschool Teachers Appreciation Day. This is a great opportunity to recognize all the amazing educators that work daily helping to mold the young minds of our future generations. Preschool teachers are typically the first contact for our kids as they enter the education system. They generally have students between the ages of three and five, a time when children are going through a very formative and critical learning phase. The best preschool teachers can set the bar for the rest of one’s learning adventures! Thank you, Mrs. Baumler, Mrs. Carlson and Mrs. Erickson, for all you do!
On Tuesday night, Delaney Scherf and Haley Frieden played in the Upper Iowa Conference Senior All-Star Game, held at Clayton Ridge. Haley also won the Hot Shot Shooting Contest. Thanks for representing ladies!
Central Community Schools has recently had the obstacle course from Keystone AEA set up. This morning, with some help from Mr. Downs, Central elementary students started their day watching a little friendly competition between Mr. Trenkamp and Officer Mitch Seitz. What a great way to start the day and two great sports these guys are!!! To see the full video, make sure to check Central's Facebook page!
Central students are giving back to their community through a partnership with the George Maier Rural Heritage Museum. Students are helping create museum displays and offering assistance with an antique tractor. Partnerships like this help build pride in our community and give student useful skills as the transition to the next phase of their lives. Check back for more updates on this exciting project. #ClaytonCountyBEST
