Happy National School Breakfast Week! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating with a breakfast favorite — French toast sticks! Crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside… the perfect way to start the school day. ✨
There’s nothing better than seeing our students fueled up and ready to learn. Breakfast isn’t just the most important meal of the day — it’s the tastiest too! 😋
Take a look at this week's Central events!
We are proud to announce 5-8th grade Central students selected for NEICDA Honor Choir. We're proud of ALL of our choir students, as we are lucky to have such talented and hard-working singers!

🚜True Blue & Tractor Pride at Central Community! 🚜
Today, Central Community FFA celebrated in a BIG way with True Blue Day and Drive Your Tractor to School Day!
Blue is one of the official colors of the National FFA Organization, symbolizing unity and its strong national presence — just like the blue in our nation’s flag. Students and staff showed their support by wearing blue shirts and representing FFA pride across our school!
We also continued a long-standing Central Community tradition: FFA members driving their tractors to school during National FFA Week to raise awareness for agricultural education. This year, TEN members rolled in with their impressive rides! 🚜
Check out the photos below to see these stylish tractors and celebrate the impact of agricultural education in our community! 🌾

“I’m proud to be an American…” — alright, enough of the song! 🇺🇸
Central Community FFA celebrated USA Day on Thursday in true patriotic style! Students and staff were encouraged to dress in red, white, and blue to show their American pride, and the school was filled with festive spirit all day long.
The chapter was honored to welcome Iowa FFA NE Vice-President Lindsay Beyer and NE District Officer Caleb Zurcher for a special chapter visit. The officers led engaging activities throughout the day in Mrs. Bond’s room, helping celebrate this important week in a fun and meaningful way.
The celebration continued with an FFA meeting featuring refreshments — including delicious brisket smoked by our very own FFA member, Blake Hunt. To wrap up the day, members stuck around for some recreation and friendly competition with Agricultural Olympics activities.
It was a fantastic day full of patriotism, leadership, fellowship, and fun! 🇺🇸

It’s a little late, but we couldn’t let the fun go unshared! 🤠🌵
Wednesday was a rootin’-tootin’ good time at Central Community School! Students across the building showed up in style for Western Wednesday — and let’s just say there were more cowboys and cowgirls in the halls than out West! 🐎
The week may be full of fun, but it’s also about appreciation. Our amazing members of the National FFA Organization treated the staff to a delicious Mexican-style lunch in the ag room. More than 60 staff members stopped by to enjoy great food and even better company! 🌮
A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special — even if we’re tipping our hats to it a few days late!

Good morning Central Community! It's one of our favorite days of the year that we organize during National FFA Week to bring awareness to Agricultural Education - Drive Your Tractor to School Day! We have a dozen of our drivers commuting in this morning, driving in style! Please take caution if you see these members on the road this morning! Feel free to drive by the school today and see their sweet rides! Happy National FFA Week from Central Community FFA!
Our 4th Grade Extended Learning Program (ELP) students have been hard at work going through the full writing process — brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing their very own stories!
Today, they took their final drafts over to Preschool to share their finished pieces. Watching our fourth graders step into the role of authors and mentors was something special, and the preschoolers enjoyed their stories! ❤️🤍

How wonderful is this?!
We’re excited to welcome two volunteers from the RSVP program through the Decorah Public Library, Bill and Diane Erickson, to Central as part of our Reading Buddies program.
Bill and Diane are currently spending time with a few of our first graders, listening to them read and having meaningful conversations about what they’re reading. It’s more than just practicing words on a page. They’re building confidence, strengthening comprehension skills, and helping students learn to think and talk about stories in deeper ways.
We’re so grateful for community members who give their time to support our students. Thank you, Bill and Diane, for making a difference at Central!

Even though it’s a little delayed, we can’t let Tuesday go unrecognized — it was “What’s Your Collar?” Day! 💼👕👷♀️ This fun dress-up day encouraged both staff and students to show off their current careers or future career aspirations by wearing their work attire. From boots and scrubs to business wear and everything in between, it was great to see the many paths our students are preparing to take!
Meanwhile, our hardworking students in the ag room were busy behind the scenes preparing for the staff appreciation meal. Their dedication, teamwork, and attention to detail truly showcase what FFA is all about - leadership, service, and community.
We’re so proud of the enthusiasm and effort everyone has put into making this week special. Stay tuned for more highlights from an amazing week!

Who needs sidewalk chalk when you have fresh snow? ❄️
Our students turned the blacktop into their own masterpiece, using snow as chalk and letting their creativity take over. It’s always fun to see imagination in action, especially when it makes the most of a winter day like this!
