Central Elementary held their first CCS Assembly of the year this afternoon. These events are held once a month and meant to help celebrate and recognize student achievements involving positivity, centered around Caring, Commitment and Safety. Students are given tickets by teachers and administration in recognition of their positive behavior. From those tickets, a select number of students are drawn to attend a field trip someplace local to celebrate their achievements. This month's recipients will go to Motor Mill next Wednesday.
Please look for more information as we near next month's CCS Assembly!

Some high school students have been preparing and sharing agricultural activities with third graders. They were happy to see a live 🐓 chicken up close. Thank you, high school students, for sharing your knowledge with us.
The 1st grade students finished the first unit of Second Step which was about the importance of paying attention. Students learned that in order to pay attention they need to look at the person talking, listen, and think about the directions. Today the student learned to draw Pepito, a character, from a video we watched about steps you can take when we get distracted. The students had fun drawing Pepito and showing off their creative talents.
The 4th graders are part of a postcard exchange. We have 34 postcards ready to be mailed to schools across the U.S. We are looking forward to hearing from all these schools!
