Central student fund raiser for Shaun Mohs this morning with a hat fundraiser!





The January Student-Athlete of the Month is described as a leader amongst the team. Work ethic in practice and the ability to remain positive and overcome adversity were key characteristics the coaches identified with this student-athlete. The coaches also referred to the consistency this student-athlete brings each day in their desire to be competitive. Most importantly, at the end of the first semester this student-athlete stood out as someone who has applied all of these same characteristics to the classroom as well. The January Student-Athlete of the Month is Rebecca Suhr.


NICC welding students are using destructive and non-destructive testing methods to find weld defects and/or sound practice with no defects present in their welds. In these examples acid etching shows the weld metal penetration compared to the base metal of a cross-sectioned T Joint. Red dye penetrant also verifies a crack in part of a weld bead that was hard to verify by visual inspection only.


Today students attended a PBIS assembly and got to complete against each other in winter Olympic themed games!

Have you ever wondered what the students do during inside recess on cold days? Second and third graders love to use their imaginations. Some build with legos and lincoln logs while others draw and play restaurant. So fun!
