Central CSD

Mrs. Stannard's class has been busy earning class tickets for following CCS expectations and going above and beyond so Friday they earned a trip to the park! They had so much fun playing! #greatdaytobeawarrior

Student Athletes, Parents and all Community members are invited to Central’s All-Sports Athletic Banquet. Keynote speaker for the evening will be former Central Basketball Coach and current USA Basketball Coach, Don Showalter. Mark your calendars for an event you will not want to miss!

Looking for something to do tomorrow? Are you looking for ways to show your support for our talented musicians in a more impactful manner? Then mark your calendars for this Saturday and join us at Clayton Ridge for the state solo-ensemble festival! Our musicians will be showcasing their skills, and you won't want to miss it. From solos to duets and larger ensembles, it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of music and witness firsthand the dedication and passion our musicians pour into their craft. Your presence would mean the world to us and to our musicians, as it's a reminder of the appreciation and encouragement they receive from our community and district. Attached is the schedule for your convenience. We're looking forward to seeing many familiar faces representing Central and cheering on our incredible musicians.

As we begin the official countdown to graduation day, please help us celebrate Central's Class of 2024! Congratulations to Senior - Keaton Klingman!

Yesterday, Central held the 7-12 Worthy Wednesday Assembly. **Our Price is Right game show winner was the 7th grade class. They won a swimming party at Bearfoot Bay in Prairie du Chein, at the end of the month. **We had lots of Worthy Warrior nominations for positive behavior this past month and the three grade level earners pictured are: Junior - Gavin Holst Sophomore - Maci Keppler 7th Grader - Owen Thompson **As we head into the home stretch of our school year, days tend to get busier and can seem more stressful at times. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month we decided to take a moment to address just that. Gracie Kennicker was a very influential guest speaker who stood before her peers to spread light and awareness. We closed our assembly with a resource panel of three, knowledgeable professionals from the mental health field and greatly appreciate their time, valuable information and support.

This afternoon, the Industrial Tech department had the pleasure of having James McCormick from Mobile Track Solutions come into our CAD class to talk about CAD use in industry. He is a design engineer and shared his experience with our students. Thanks for taking time to come in today!

The March Student-Athlete of the month is perhaps best known amongst coaches and teammates as someone with 100% passion for the sport. On a daily basis they approach practices and meets with an excitement that is hard to miss and is contagious. This student-athlete displays , at a very high level, nearly every single block associated with our Road To Athleticism bridge model. They also have the rare desire to try to do all of the little things that eventually lead to bigger things. And because of that attention to detail she had the thrill of executing a textbook handoff with her teammate at a recent meet! The March Student-Athlete of the Month is Staci Herman.

The March Fine Arts Student of the Month is someone who does not ride on natural talent alone. Teachers and coaches commented on all of the extra time this student has put in to developing their skill set and performance abilities. When asked to meet just twice a week, this student requested to meet every day, sometimes twice a day. The student listened to every suggestion and critique and implemented changes needed. All of the hard work paid off with an all-state nomination. The March Fine Arts Student of the Month is Keeley Curran.

MercyOne Elkader will be offering a "Safe Sitter" course for any students in grades 6-8. If you have any questions, please reach out to Andrea Knipper at Mercy One - andrea.j.knipper@mercyone.org.
