Some 4th graders have been making some really amazing chalk art at recess! What talent we have!

Thursday night, the Central Volleyball Team will be back at it, traveling to Lansing to take on the Hawks. Good Luck, Lady Warriors!!!

This Friday night's schedule of events includes not one, but TWO GAMES for the evening! Join us at Dittmer Field, as the junior high takes on Turkey Valley to start our night off at 5:00 pm. It's YOUTH NIGHT and our youth football players will be recognized at halftime of the Varsity game. Whether you are coming for one game or both, stop by the concession stand to grab a bite to eat. Friday night, the Central Athletic Boosters Concession Stand will be cooking up SMASH BURGERS and CHILI CHEESE DOGS! This is a great way to support our student athletes and feed your family at the same time! Friday Night... you know where you wanna be.... Dittmer Field!!! Let's hear it for our WARRIORS!!!

Tomorrow is the Central Invitational Cross Country Meet, with over ten schools participating! A few housekeeping notes for those that plan to attend... We ask that you park in the dedicated lots and avoid parking along the Gunder Road. Admission is $6 per person and the running routes have changed a bit this year to allow all runners to finish in the same location. The weather looks to be a beautiful evening for this meet and we look forward to seeing you all support this home meet! GO WARRIORS!!!
