Our 8th grade Spanish students created their own Spanish stories and illustrations, and shared them with Kindergarten today. It was a hit!
The younger students loved listening and looking at the colorful creations, while our 8th graders did a great job reading, engaging, and connecting with their audience. It was a fun way to build language skills, creativity, and some great cross-grade connections!

Central's 8th grade class attended a Career Fair hosted by NICC and Upper Iowa University today. This Career Fair allowed students to explore careers they have researched this year while making their four year plan and to connect with people in their career areas of interest. Students were given a tour of Upper Iowa University campus after the Career Fair. They had fun talking with the businesses and organizations and engaging in some hands-on activities. Students also saw two past Central grads on campus, Marcus Evans and Jaydin Dettman from the Class of 2024!
Central Perk will be open tomorrow April 2nd. Stop by and enjoy a latte, smoothie, black coffee, or refresher to start your day right! Your purchase will also include a surprise treat! 🪻🐰☕

Students took part in a game of Medic Dodgeball, which is a fun twist on a classic that mixed in pushups and teamwork, with medics jumping in to “save” teammates and keep them in the game.
We appreciate them taking the time to connect with our students and bring a new level of energy to class!

Central Alum Tate Berns was in Mr. Wiley's classroom today to talk to the Sociology class about his current position with the Marion Police Department and also to talk about deviance, a chapter the class had recently learned about. He discussed the rise in certain crimes like fraud and how other crimes like burglary or robbery have decreased. Tate brought his expertise to the classroom about law enforcement, labeling theory, and cultural transmission that happens with deviance.
After class, Tate made his way to the lunchroom, where he quickly became a crowd favorite! Thanks for coming, Officer Berns!
