Today we are finishing up the cleanup from our Central Invitational Wrestling Tournament yesterday. When you hold an event like this it is nearly impossible to thank everyone who helped - concession stand workers, table workers, medical staff, ticket takers, city/county/state workers who plowed snow right away in the morning, donors, and countless others who made it possible...
Why did everyone do all of this? So 166 wrestlers (64 girls, 102 boys) and a couple dozen cheerleaders could come out and have an opportunity to learn and have fun.
A total of 19 different schools were represented. A LOT of fans from these communities were in town yesterday and got to see what the Central Community and the City of Elkader have to offer.
The 2021 tournament planning has begun and we intend to make that one even bigger. Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 9, 2021 so you can be involved in this special event.
Again, thank you to everyone who has helped make these opportunities possible for the kids.
Ms. Gritzner was recognized today at the Central Wrestling Invitational for her 27 years of helping run the tournament.
Over 65 girls participated at the girls invitational at Central making it one of the largest in the state.
Tonight's JV girls and boys basketball game has been cancelled and the varsity game will now start at 4:00 PM. Parents night will now be held on January 17th. Please call 245-1750 with any questions.

Central Seniors need your help! Are you a recent graduate or the parent of a recent graduate? The Class of 2020 is hoping to collect graduation robes to reuse rather than purchasing new robes each year. Not only is this thrifty but also environmentally minded. Robes will be stored and reused each year.
If you would like to help please bring your gently used robe to the office or to Friday’s home basketball game. All sizes are needed to best fit all class members.
2nd semester milk break fees are due
The 1st graders are excited to start book clubs. All these kids were excited to start reading...AMAZING!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS for a free financial aid presentation for students and parents with Iowa College Access Network on Thursday, January 30th at 5:30PM in the commons. This is the ideal opportunity to get answers to your questions about financial aid.
On Tuesday, March 10 Central will be having a "Registration Night" for incoming 9th-12th grade students and their families. The time will be spent learning about graduation requirements, academic options, and creating an individual plan. More information to come.
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 10 5:30-7:30.
Doing some Spring cleaning?
Central is accepting donated graduation gowns to be reused in future graduations. From a recycling perspective, reusing gowns will help us reduce our use of new materials. Financially this will also help us reduce the amount of fundraising needed in the future by reducing the number of new gowns we need to purchase.
You can drop your donated gowns off in the High School Office. Orders for this year's graduation are due soon so we would appreciate donations being dropped off before Friday, January 17.
