Central CSD

The 1st graders had a visit from the Clayton County Dairy Princess! She talked to the kids about dairy farming, gave them each a coloring book, cow headband, coloring contest sheet and ended with a cheese stick for snack!

Kindergarten students are working hard to understand closed syllables: 1 vowel, the vowel is closed in by one or more consonants, and the vowel says its short sound. They were able to come up with 76 different closed syllable words. Feel free to have them explain this to you and continue to "hunt" for these words at home!

Mrs. Wiley’s class is excited to start March Book Madness. We will post updates on which books made it to the Elite 8, Final 4, Championship and which book was our winner.

Daddy Daughter Dance If you have any questions please call 245-1750.

Registration Night is tonight! The goal is to communicate to both students and parents the registration process and for students to review with their parents their 4 year plans, which will be used to register them for next year's classes. We look forward to seeing you!

Central Fine Arts Booster Club will be meeting today at 6:30 p.m. in the band/chorus room. The agenda includes reviewing Carnival, planning a trip to Des Moines to see the musical Wicked in June, and staff reports. All parents of fine arts students are welcome to attend.

These students represented Central at the Tri-State Honor Band this weekend.

Blood drive was a success today! While we didn’t earn a second scholarship, we did meet the goal from the Red Cross of 58 units of blood! The best part though was hearing the positive feedback from the Red Cross volunteers! Way to represent Central!!
