Central Students color cancer ribbons in support of cancer night for both volleyball and football this week to honor those they know who've battled this disease.
The Junior Kindergarten students had a great time learning about programming Bee Bots.
Students from Mrs. Grau's and Mrs. Frieden's classes attended the Back To School Bash recently held at Camp Courageous. It was a great day of games, activities, prizes, and more! Thank you to Camp Courageous for providing this free event for students at Central.
Hello,
Tomorrow (Oct. 3rd) the volleyball team is hosting their breast cancer awareness game at home vs. Turkey Valley. To show your support for those who have been affected by cancer of any kind, please color a cancer ribbon, which can be found in the high school library or District Office. In addition to coloring it, feel welcome to add their name as well. When finished, your ribbon can be turned into the high school office or library Tuesday morning.
We appreciate all your support so far this season, and hope to see you tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Central Volleyball Team

School Custodians: The quiet heroes of the school. They are usually the first to arrive each day, clean up messes no one dares to touch and they befriend everyone they encounter. This group works behind the scenes taking care of all the fine details, keeping our building in order and continually answer their radios as we bombard them with requests throughout the school days. Be sure to give a BIG THANK YOU to the team that helps keep our learning environment ready to roll!
The 1st graders are loving learning all the new math games.
Central's 5th graders participated in a guided tour of Effigy Mounds today. They hiked over 2 miles and 350 foot elevation to learn about and experience many different kinds of mounds built by the Native Americans over 1,000 years ago. They learned about the history of Effigy Mounds, Native American groups in Iowa and enjoyed nature at its finest!
Mrs. Stannard brought the monarch butterflies we reared and students tagged them and set them free for their trip to Mexico! It was a great day to be a Central Warrior!!
4th grade has spent the week learning how to navigate dash robots. To end the week, 4th grade students taught the 3rd graders the skills they have learned!
On this very special Friday, Mrs. Joyce Piorkowski had some surprise visitors this morning to help commemorate her last day of work at Central! We are sure going to miss you, Joyce! We wish you all the best!

Kayla Demmer from FS Fuel Our Future attended Central's volleyball game last night to present to us a check for $1,245. This money comes from FS customers who have the FS FAST Stop card and have Central Community School as their designated school. Central receives 3 cents per gallon from these purchases.
This money is used to support Central’s High School PBIS Program.
Thank you Kayla and FS for the opportunity!

Third graders are playing trashketball as they review addition and subtraction strategies. If the team gets the answer correct, one person gets a chance to earn more points by making a trashket. It is a fun way to review and talk strategy.
