Central CSD

Looks like a beautiful evening to be on the course! Good Luck to our Warrior Golfers this afternoon!

The High School Choir and Band will be performing at the Iowa High School Music Association State Large Group Festival on Friday, May 3rd. This year, we'll be heading to West Delaware in Manchester for the event. With a panel of tough judges this year, our performers have been working hard for the challenge. Your support and well wishes would mean the world to them. We would love to see some familiar faces in the audience!

With recent weather, Central's Earth Day activities were postponed to this past Wednesday. Students in grades 7-12 helped with with various projects in the community. Students worked at Motor Mill, Osborne, parks and around the Central Preschool building to clean up trash and groups also worked along local roads to help with ditch cleanup. Thank you to all the supporters who made this possible for our students. #EarthDayEveryDay

Indoor recess can be discouraging for students but playing games like Clue and Spoons with teachers make it more fun! Students also enjoyed building on to their Dojo Islands.

A BIG THANK YOU to Ryan Panuska for visiting the welding classes on Tuesday. Ryan specializes in repair and fabrication and travels all over the country. He demonstrated stainless steel TIG welding and tools and new technology specific to the mobile welding trade. Thanks for taking time out of your day to spend with Central students!

Central's hatchlings enjoying their 6th grade education. Soaking up the knowledge.

Varsity Boys got the opportunity to participate in an invitational at Sunnyside Country Club in Waterloo today. It’s our 1st year with many more to come. It was awesome for them to have the chance to play a very nice, challenging course. They all held their heads high and just had fun!!

Central's Business Office was surprised today with some special littles delivering May Day Baskets! If this picture could talk, you would hear the cutest story! Thank you kiddos for the treats! It won't be long... and these little Warriors will be leaving daycare and heading to Central!

Mr. Trenkamp had some visitors today to wish him Happy School Principals' Day! Sixth Grade Students made cards for Mr. Trenkamp, which had to include creativity, color and show effort. They left their principal with a stack of good things to read!

Please join us in celebrating School Board Recognition Month by honoring Central Community School Board Members during the month of May. The board members you see here all work as unpaid volunteers who balance their own careers and families with the demands of overseeing a public school. They work annually to develop the budget to keep our school operational, they set school policies and procedures for the district and they hire and evaluate the superintendent as he manages the district. Please help us in congratulating and thanking each of the board members when you see them! Michael Whittle – Central CSD Board Member since 2015 Jered Finley – Central CSD Board Member since 2017 Jared Funk – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Courtney Scherf – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Josh Embretson – Central CSD Board Member since 2021 Marcus Belser – Central CSD Board Member since 2023 Andrew Clark – Central CSD Board Member since 2023

School Principals’ Day is celebrated annually on May 1, to recognize the importance of principals, from elementary to high school, and all the work they do for the betterment of the school. While a student’s job is to work on studying and learning, a teacher’s job is to focus on lessons and teaching their students, school principals here at Central have a lot more on their minds most days. From helping students reach their achievements, managing students, as well as teachers, all while living up to the expectations of parents and guardians, the job school principals endure is often underestimated. They often can be found filling in for teachers and interacting with students, and you just never know what change in their schedules is going to happen. All of these things are done, while constantly working to create a better school for all who enter. Please help us celebrate and acknowledge our administration team here at Central! Thank you, Mr. Reinhart for all you do for our students, staff, and families. The time and commitment you give to Central does not go unnoticed.

School was definitely the place to be for the kindergarteners and juniors in March with attendance rates of 93.78% and 94.20%! This was the second time the kindergarten class had the highest attendance rate out of all the elementary grades, so they celebrated with a pajama day on Monday! Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and themselves. Congratulations to these hard working students!

Mrs. Jenna Wemark has been chosen as one of two Elementary 2024 Masonic Teachers of the Year. Mrs. Wemark has been a great addition to our Central staff. In her experience at Postville, she participated in a variety of Computer Science activities and she has brought those ideas to Central's 4th graders. The highlight of this is when Mrs. Wemark asked her 4th graders to present at a school board meeting. Even though this was optional, almost the entire grade level with their parents showed up to present! Congratulations, Mrs. Wemark! We are lucky to have you on our team!!!
