An Invitation to Participate

Due to the football schedules being changed last week, Homecoming will be on Friday, September 25 this year. It was previously announced to be on September 11 but that will be an away game now. The parade will be on Wednesday night (September 23) instead of the Thursday night tradition. This change is due to a home volleyball match on Thursday.

Fresh from the school garden this morning we have sweet peppers, small orange tomatoes and lots of cucumbers. Stop down and grab anything you can use. The tomatoes are ripe. Just an orange variation. The cucumbers are really producing. Feel free to pick anything that is ripe in the garden. Remember this is FREE to anyone who wishes to stop by the garden and get it! Please support the school garden by making use of what is produced.

A friendly reminder that the Return-To-Learn Committee will present their plan to the School Board tonight at 6:00 p.m. In order to maintain social distancing we only have room for 17 people to attend the meeting (first come, first serve). You may also attend through the Zoom link below. A reminder that the public will not be allowed to comment on the plan. Any questions or comments about the plan may be sent to Mr. Trenkamp for the committee to review. https://aea1.zoom.us/j/94303874513?pwd=dkxSRk9xVXlDWERad2ZuY3lTeTJlUT09

Central Community, Today the Return-To-Learn Committee met and finalized the draft to our plan. The Return-To-Learn plan will be shared with the school board at Monday night's meeting (6:00 p.m.). The school board will not approve the plan Monday night but will ask questions of the committee members. This meeting will be followed by another meeting for approval giving the school board members time to review the plan and receive public input. You can attend the school board meeting in-person or through Zoom at this link: https://aea1.zoom.us/j/94303874513?pwd=dkxSRk9xVXlDWERad2ZuY3lTeTJlUT09

Today in the school garden we have cucumbers and small orange tomatoes. Don’t let their size or color throw you off, these tomatoes are ripe, sweet and ready to eat. Come grab some FREE veggies at the school garden.

FREE! More sweet peppers were picked on Friday. Stop by the garden and grab some if your family and friends can put them to good use.

Central Community, I started a COVID-19/Return-To-Learn Q & A which can be found at the link below. The Return-To-Learn Committee is still working on the overall plan. Answers in the Q & A as well as our plan will remain fluid. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_zoUnzOb_A4Ibvqq_BwiW6pJoi0qDkXtOKgilcWEHQ8/edit?usp=sharing

FREE! Sweet peppers from the school garden. They can be picked up from the table by the garden on the lower playground. There are more to be picked in the garden if you get here and they are gone. ENJOY!

The school garden is starting to produce yummy results. Peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes will be plentiful. There is also broccoli, carrots, herbs, peas, beans and lettuce. The excess produce will be shared with the community in a first come first serve basis. Check back soon for when there are vegetables ready for pick up at the garden. Feel free to harvest any ready produce your family will use. We want to make sure the produce does not go to waste until we return to school. Comment if you have questions or contact agritzner@central.k12.ia.us.
