The Middle School and High School Advisor groups did a team building activity today called the Ping Pong Challenge. Students were given a few specific rules to follow as they passed ping pong balls with in small groups. They were given time to reflect and improve their process in order to increase the number of ping pong balls passed in 2 minutes. Each group was given three trials to improve. The highest number heard was 136. Did your group do better?



The Clayton County Corn and Soybean Producers, represented by John Finley, presented Central FFA President Maria Medberry and Advisor Mrs. Bond with a check to purchase resources for agriculture education. Thank you for your support!

The Preschool through 3rd graders enjoyed hiding rocks for our community for our fun end of the quarter event last week! The rocks were painted by our 4th-6th graders and hidden around our community...go find our rocks! You can keep the rock or hide it for someone else to find! #elkaderrocks




Elementary Food Drive is this week!

The 1st Graders enjoying rock hiding on last week. The rocks were painted by the 4th-6th grade and hid by the PS-3rd graders for our end of the quarter event.

Central Calendar Reminders:

Some of the 6th grade joined the Animal Science class this week to learn about the organs of animals in a fetal pig dissection lab!



Third graders are learning to think about pushes and pulls (forces). They made "Hoppers" jump in the air, propelled by the pulling force of a rubber band. After some test runs, they thought about what they could do to make it go higher. They were successful with their ideas.
