A Friendly Reminder: Tomorrow is School Picture Day for all students in Preschool - 6th Grade.
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.
