You are invited to our Halloween Costume Parade and CCS Assembly on Friday, October 28! If your child would like to participate in the costume parade, please send their costume with them to school on Friday morning in a bag marked clearly with their name.

THANK YOU! We would like to say thank you to the Central Community for your generous support through can donations. Your donations help fund numerous student activities throughout the year. Students sort and transport all bottles and cans that come into our bin, due to safety and space issues we are going to accept NO GLASS BOTTLES at this time. Please do not leave glass bottles at either recycling bin that is collected for the school. Thanks again for your continued support. #ClaytonCountyBEST

The past few years we have put a heavy emphasis on building stronger relationships at Central. Our next step in doing so is to tell you a little about ourselves! Each week you will see posts highlighting a team member. Feel free to comment to tell us what we have in common! Meet Mrs. Armstrong!

Central students had the opportunity to attend the Clayton County Advanced Manufacturing event yesterday. Students split their day between Pattison Sand Mine and Gencor. At both locations, the students participated in hands-on activities to learn more about skills in the industry. Pattison Sand Mine even had a controlled blast for the students. Thank you to Pattison Sand Mine, Gencor, Northeast Iowa Community College, and Sarah Beaman for providing this opportunity for our students.

Danielle Whittle hosted a petting zoo as her first project for the Independent Agricultural class. Dani's goal was to educate the elementary students on animal safety, the importance of animals, and possibly even how to show the different animals. Before the animals came to school, she went to each classroom K-6 to discuss animal safety. Tim Walz helped his two sons, Owen and Lucus bring in their beef calf and two of their sheep. Jamie Goodrich helped her daughter Crystal bring in their dairy calf. Rob Medberry helped his daughter Mayleigh bring in two of their meat goats. Staci Herman brought in two rabbits, and Brandi Herman brought in her dog Charlie who showed the students some cool tricks he can do! Carter Krugger and Tessa Sylvester also helped with the petting zoo. What a fun morning!

Central's First Quarter All School Event kicked off yesterday with a Halloween theme. These team building activities are geared to create a positive culture among all students at Central.

Congratulations to Hannah and Jaydin on qualifying for the State Cross Country Meet!

They officiated Fall events for our students and gave the opportunity to students in other districts as well.
