Repurposing Old Band Uniforms:
Central's old band uniforms are finding new life as quilt batting thanks to the Bethany Church Quilting Group. Rather than dispose of the uniforms in the trash, they were donated to be made into quilts that will be sent to countries in need around the world. Any material not used in the quilting process is donated to Goodwill who sells the material to businesses that use the scraps for various purposes. Way to divert waste from the landfill while creating a useful product.

The Clayton County Conservation Boards will sponsor a fun day in the snow on Saturday, February 27th from 1:00-3:00. Join us for Snowfest at the Osborne Pond for a family fun day that is free to all.
Head over to the Osborne Pond to learn how to snowshoe or ice fish with the Clayton County naturalists. They will have gear to borrow, or you can bring your own. There will be a nice fire in the shelter to warm up as well as hot cocoa and marshmallows to roast.
Registration is preferred if you wish to borrow gear to ensure we have enough available. Please indicate men's, women's, or youth to borrow snowshoes (snowshoe sizes generally work for 10 and older). It is a fun way to exercise this winter while getting in touch with nature. Call to register at the Osborne Nature Center 563-245-1516.

Students in the newly formed video club test out our recently purchased video equipment today as the industrial tech classes try out the construction equipment simulator. Look for more from this group in the future. Thanks to the Governor’s STEM Advisory Council.




Central students had the opportunity this morning to use a construction equipment simulator made possible by EOT (Equipment Operator Training). Thank you to the representatives from CJ Moyna's and NICC for taking time to speak with students about career opportunities and the training programs that are available.




You still have time to send a locker-gram! The deadline was extended to Thursday, January 28th. ❤️
