On Wednesday #ClaytonCountyBEST students presented Natalie Shea of MercyOne Hospital in Elkader with adorable stuffed animals to give to future pediatric patients. This project was created by the students after they saw a need in our community. Thank you to MercyOne Elkader for working with the students to make this project successful and to Kathy Josten and Bridge Street Boutique for her help in getting the stuffed animals. Also a big shout out to the staff of Central Community School for their generous donations to get this project started. We all hope the stuffed animals do not need to be use, but hope they will bring comfort and joy if their use is needed. Great job, ladies!
Today’s winners of Central’s Door Decorating Competition! Mrs. Hesse for 7-12 with her Grinch door and Mr. Stramer for K-6 with his Santa and Elf door along with his fifth grade class and Mrs. Belser! This is Mr. Stramer’s second win in a row!
Last week Central 6th graders spent the day at Osborne Nature Center for a survival day after finishing our Hatchet unit. Thanks Abbey, Kenny and parents that were able to join.
Some of the holiday door decorations!
What a cool project to head into break on! 4th graders had to create a store of products they created out of paper. They had to come up with a price, interest inventory, slogan, commercial, product description, and consumer comments. Today they got to sell their products as well as shop for their classmates products. Judging by the engagement and excitement I wonder if they even know how much they are learning about literacy and math, not to mention customer service!! Great job Mrs. Kremer and 4th graders
There will be no open gym this coming Sunday, December 26th.
More holiday door designs!

Central recently learned of an anonymous, nationwide threat against schools that is being shared on social media outlets such as TikTok. The general threat toward all U.S. schools declares Friday, Dec. 17, as “American School Shooting Day.” At this time, law enforcement has not acquired any evidence that would deem these threats as credible in our area.
Central students have done a great job of ignoring social media challenges and following our Core Values. Encourage your students to speak with you or an adult at school if they see or hear something so immediate action can be taken. In addition, if anyone in our community sees something suspicious, please report it to the school immediately or call local law enforcement.
We appreciate your support and partnership.

Students were given the opportunity to ask questions about employment at the Prairie Farms Cheese Operation at Luana, the generous employment benefits offered by the company and their award winning cheese making processes. Thank you to Prairie Farms for participating, Clayton County Development Group for a great partnership and to the students who attended. Look for more career exploration opportunities to come from #InTheKnowInTheNook.
