2nd graders have been studying mealworms in science. Some have even started changing to beetles!
What better way to start the week than with Officer Seitz stopping by to say hey!

Please join us next Wednesday for “Central’s Holiday – Coffee & Carols”!
This event is open to the community and will feature some of Central Perk’s favorite drinks. We invite you in for a cup of coffee, baked treats and time to enjoy some of your favorite holiday music. Performances by Mrs. Bauder’s piano students, Central’s Madrigal and a few others as well. We hope you can make it!
How many know that Central CSD has it's own coffee shop? Central Perk is operated by Clayton County BEST students and is open to staff and students on Wednesday and Friday mornings before school. Recently they have designed an updated logo and menu and we hope to showcase what they have to offer a little more next week. Pictured here are Ms. Hayzlett, CCB student Caitlin and a frequent customer, Mrs. Lechtenberg.
The final week before Winter Break at Central will bring a little fun to our school days. Take note: Winter Dress Up Days posted here! Start planning now for next Monday!
A reminder that today is the last day to turn in items for the Holiday Food Drive! If you plan to attend tonight's elementary music concert, please consider contributing to the cause if you are able.

5th graders studied pond ecosystems, and the importance that each organism contributes to the sustainability of the pond! Algae Blooms are taking over lakes due to fertilizer run-off. Students teamed up to beat the algae with preventative projects like cleaning up after pets, keeping storm drains clean and planting plants along the waters edge.
5th graders celebrated Computer Science Week! They were graphic designers and learned how to layer, resize, and practice depth proportions to give their scene a 3-D look! They did great and I think we have potential designers here!
The Kindergarten classes took a walk today to thank our Junior Achievement representative, Danielle Shea, for her time. They learned so much!

We are pleased to announce Coach Don Showalter will be visiting Central in January. Coach Showalter has been coaching for over 42 years and is a nine-time USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year winner. He served as head basketball coach at Central from 1976-1984 before moving on to coach across the state and country, earning many prestigious awards, recognitions, and honors throughout the years. Coach Showalter’s success on the international stage has led him to being a leading clinic speaker. He currently splits his quieter years between Iowa City and Colorado Springs with his wife and will make a trip to visit Elkader next month. We are excited to have him back for a visit and look forward to having one of the greats of Iowa’s high school basketball at Central.
