Central CSD

Our 8th graders wrapped up a fun and meaningful project this week!

Students wrote their own Spanish “thumbprint books,” creating characters and illustrations using their thumbs. After finishing their stories, they shared them with our 2nd graders—who absolutely loved listening to the big kids read!

Happy Substitute Educators Day! ❤️🤍

We want to give a big thank-you to all of our amazing substitutes. Our school depends on you, and we’re grateful for the way you step in, support our classrooms, and help each day run smoothly. Our staff and students appreciate you more than you know.

If you or someone you know would be a great fit as a substitute, we’d love to hear from you. Central is looking for associate, kitchen, and teacher substitutes. For more information, please call the office at 563-245-1750.
