The Central Torch Chapter of the National Honor Society hosted an American Red Cross blood drive today. We would like to thank the students, staff, and community members who donated! We collected 49 units of blood! Thank you so much!!!





Central students Leila and Braxton recently had the opportunity to chat with Mike from KCTN about the American Red Cross Blood Drive happening at Central tomorrow!
Take a few minutes to listen to their interview and learn more about why this event is so important and how you can help make a difference.
Every donation matters!

Last week Central 6th grade participated in a zoom session with Derek Bergan from Deagu, South Korea as part of our east Asia studies. Students sent questions in advance and there was an open question session after the main presentation was completed.




Take a look at this week's Central events!

Bringing science into fashion! 🧪👕
In our Natural Dye Lab, students explored how everyday ingredients can transform fabric—just like in historical times. Today’s highlight: using turmeric to create a vibrant, natural dye! 🌿✨
It’s amazing to see students connect science and fashion while getting hands-on with the process. The Science of Fashion is so much fun to explore!

Our Kindergarteners took the lead at Central Elementary’s monthly CCS Assembly today and taught us all about Pride!
They did an amazing job, and it was such a fun (and adorable!) way to wrap up the day. We’re so proud of their confidence and the message they shared with our school community.
We hope you can join us for our next CCS Assembly on April 23!

Middle school agriculture students wrapped up 3rd quarter by putting their senses to the test—identifying 16 different cheeses in a sensory evaluation challenge! 🧀
As 4th quarter begins, a new group of students is diving into sensory evaluation for the first time. It’s already been a great opportunity to explore how the mind works during these activities. For example, some students assumed that beverages left out in the room were part of the evaluation—only to discover after tasting them that they weren’t related at all!
We’re also excited to welcome Mr. Werner to our agricultural education classes! He will be student teaching alongside Mrs. Bond for the next six weeks—be sure to say hello if you see him in the classroom.
Hands-on experiences like these continue to make learning both fun and memorable.
