"80% of success is showing up!" - Attendance Works

National FFA Week brings all sorts of things, but today, we happened to have a cute, little farmer and her animals roaming the halls of Central.
The Iowa Army National Guard visited Central today to show how to launch a cannon. They talked about all the algebra and physics involved. What a fun way to educate!!!
We are seeing a growing number of drivers making U-turns in front of the school each day. For the safety of our students, we want to remind you when dropping off and/or picking up students, there should be no one making any U-turns on the street in front of the school. Please take the extra steps to help keep the safety of our kids a priority. We appreciate your help!
Good luck Central Community FFA tonight at NE Sub-District Leadership Development Events at Delhi!

Our 5th and 6th grade honor band members had a fantastic weekend getting to perform with students from different schools. The 1st year ensemble was made up of 120 kids from around 50 different schools! The day flew by and ended with the students getting the opportunity to perform in Prairie High School's amazing facilities. We are so excited that our students are able to have these performing opportunities!

Upcoming Warrior Events for the Week!
The kindergarteners and first graders had lots of fun on their field trip to Decorah on Thursday to see the play Tomas and the Library Lady.
Mr. Dennis presented to the elementary students to at our CCS Assembly. Students were asked to volunteer and help Mr. Dennis with his “Science” magic tricks. They learned about several different science topics and how to preform some tricks. Ask your child tonight if they can show you some tricks they learned today. It’s a great day to be a Warrior!
Third graders have started their computer science curriculum. They have been practicing programming using algorithms and what happens when there's an error or bug in it. One way to practice is to have a relay race with several teams, and see if they can complete the algorithm with no mistakes. If a student did find an error, they had to debug the problem and get back on track.
Yesterday was School Resource Officer Appreciation Day and we would like to take this time to recognize Officer Mitch Seitz. Most everyone knows this face and here at Central, we are incredibly lucky to see it on a regular basis. Whether he’s on or off duty, we can always count on him to help keep our schools and students safe. Thank you, Officer Seitz… it’s always a good day when you are in the building!
Did you know that greeting kids when they arrive at school can help increase academic performance and decrease behavior issues? Every morning you can find the teachers at Central helping students make that transition from home to school with positive energy and a caring smile!
