Seniors and their parents:
As you know the FAFSA process has been changed this year. We have included two websites that will be helpful to you in making your FSA ID number prior to the opening of the FAFSA in December.
One site is a worksheet to help you fill out your FSA ID number: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.ncan.org/resource/resmgr/better_fafsa/training_toolkit/uaspire_fsa_id_how_to_guide_.pdf.
The second site allows you to join a live webinar to help you and your parent to set up their FSA ID number: https://www.icansucceed.org/ontrack. Once on this webpage scroll down to Senior FSA ID workshop. You do not need to register for the webinar. Just join on the day and time that works best for you.
As more information is shared with school counselors about the new FAFSA process, the information will be shared out to you. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Angela Bergan, anbergan@central.k12.ia.us
We are officially one week away from the Homecoming 2023 Parade! The parade will begin at the Elkader Town Team fields at 5:30 PM and end at the Athletic Complex!
High Street will be closed to traffic at 5:20 PM. We ask that you arrive prior to 5:20 and park at the Jack Dittmer Athletic Complex or the Swimming Pool parking lot. If you arrive after 5:20 PM you will have to park elsewhere and walk in to see the parade.
Please note the parade will go by the Athletic Complex twice. We recommend waiting for the parade to come back from Deer Run so you can see both sides of the floats. Once the parade has entered the Athletic Complex you can walk in to enjoy the festivities!

Central 5th Graders have some exciting news! Mrs. Stannard is very excited and passionate about the fifth grades current science unit involving the rearing (raising) of Monarch butterflies.
The REAP Monarch Eggs Project, Iowa State Extension Outreach (4-H) and Lynne Campbell, the Educational Extension Specialist III, from Ames have made this opportunity available to us. Lynne made a special delivery of caterpillars and eggs for our 5th grade on Wednesday night.
Students used paint brushes to safely transfer the baby caterpillars to an individual dish so they can continue to grow. Then a couple 5th graders scouted for milkweed today after school to feed them. Mrs. Stannard will come in over the weekend and feed them twice a day.
We will grow the caterpillars until they form the chrysalis and metamorph into a Monarch butterfly. We will tag the butterflies and release them for the journey to Mexico.
Monarch butterflies are on the endangered species list, so we will continue to help them by planting milkweed around our community. We will keep posting so you can follow our students on this journey!
GO WARRIORS!
Have you ever thought of what goes into getting the football field ready for the season? Well let’s just say, John Hess knows exactly what it takes to make our field at the Dittmer Athletic Complex game day ready!
A total of 1,240 yards of line, 260 hashmarks, 18 numbers and ONE Central Logo - All yard lines are mowed with a push mower, blown off with a leaf blower, marked with a string line, and then finally painted with a walk behind CO2 powered paint machine.
All of this preparation doesn’t come easy and takes many volunteer hours before being declared ready to go. It also comes with a lot of steps made by one individual. John Hess has walked more steps on this field that most people know.
