What does kindergarten do in music when it’s fall?

We FALL like leaves!

A little movement, a little music, and a whole lot of fun as we learn, move, and make memories together!

🌱 Learning to Lead Through Agriculture! 🌱

Last week, our Agriculture Leadership students kicked off their middle school agriculture lessons in Mrs. Steffen’s classroom!

Students worked in pairs to match agricultural products with their sources through a hands-on card activity. From learning where everyday products come from to making connections with agriculture, the middle school students had an interactive opportunity to explore the importance of agriculture in our daily lives.

For our high school students, these lessons are about more than teaching agriculture! They are developing teamwork, lesson planning, communication, and public speaking skills as they learn to lead and engage a younger audience.

A big thank-you to Mrs. Steffen for welcoming our Agriculture Leadership students into her classroom! 🌽

Our 6th graders are diving into AI Media Literacy lessons in Computer Science! This week, students are exploring how companies use AI and marketing tactics to grab shoppers’ attention and encourage purchases during Black Friday.

From personalized ads to deals that create a sense of urgency, students are learning to recognize these strategies and think critically about the media they see. These skills help our Warriors become smarter, more informed digital consumers! 🧠💡

🎃🍁 A Perfect Day at the Pumpkin Patch! 🍂🧡 Yesterday our preschoolers had so much fun on their pumpkin patch field trip! They went on a wagon ride to pick out the perfect pumpkins, visited some friendly goats and a donkey, enjoyed yummy pumpkin cookies, and spent lots of time playing and exploring! There’s nothing better than a day filled with fresh air, happy faces, and lots of fall fun! So many sweet memories were made! 🎃🤎

HISTORY MADE AT STATE SOILS!

Central Community FFA showed up, competed against the best, and proved that hard work and determination can make history!

At the Iowa FFA Soils Evaluation, our team competed against the top five FFA chapters from each of Iowa’s six FFA districts and finished 9th place overall with a GOLD rating! 🥇

This accomplishment is especially meaningful. To the best of our knowledge, it has been at least since before 2009 that an FFA chapter from the Northeast District has finished in the Top 10 with a Gold rating at the state competition. For years, Northeast District teams have worked toward this goal, and this team rose to the challenge!

These students represented Central Community FFA, our school, and our district with determination, skill, and hard work. They didn't just compete — they broke through a long-standing barrier and made their mark in Iowa FFA history!

We are incredibly proud of this team and what they accomplished. Congratulations on an outstanding finish and a milestone worth celebrating!

Central Community FFA — making history, one soil profile at a time! 🌾
