Good morning Central Warriors! There are a lot of events happening this week!
BIG News: Four of our talented Central singers have been accepted into the prestigious Meistersinger Honor Choir Festival at Wartburg this year! This event is highly selective and requires an extensive application process, so this is a huge accomplishment for Ella Buckman, Raelynn Coanner, Layla Embretson, and Brooke Tieden.
While we’d love for everyone to join us in person for this incredible event, seating is extremely limited. However, you can still be part of the experience by tuning in to the live stream of the performance. The concert will begin at 5:00 PM on Monday, and you can watch it here: www.wartburgknightvision.com
