So proud of our State Speech competitors! 👏
Mrs. Klingman and Mrs. Stevenson took a group to Large Group State Speech at Waterloo West High School. Mikayla Evans, Kynzlie Mullins, and Lukas Friedlein competed in Large Group Improv and earned an overall II.
Two of the three group members were new to speech this year, and all three put in a lot of work and delivered a great performance. Awesome effort, teamwork, and growth from this group. We can’t wait to see what they do next year 🎭✨
Check out this week's activities for Central!
Conference Champs! 🏆
Congrats to the Central boys basketball team on earning the Upper Iowa Conference Small Division Championship with tonight’s win over West Central! 🏀
The second graders enjoyed their annual 100th day of school visit to Freedom Bank! The students enjoyed learning about money, touring the bank, the coin machine, riding the elevator, watching the security cameras, and holding $10,000 cash!! They ended the visit with cookies, milk and a great story about needs and wants!
Freshmen are sharpening their presentation and public speaking skills by doing a personal interest presentations in Mr. Zurbriggen's class. Topics include baking, volleyball and guitar. Presenting is a valuable skill to enhance and practice! More to come!
The Central Perk will be selling $4 gift cards for your special someone the month of February! Stop by or email the office to get yours in time for Valentines Day! Thank you - Central Perk
While the internet was down this morning, 5th grade students in Mr. Stramer's room played the game Catch Phrase in groups to help pass the time. Speaking and listening skills were utilized and laughs were enjoyed by all!

We had Rachel Sender, a dental hygienist, come to our 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms yesterday to teach topics on dental hygiene, including the proper technique to brush your teeth, gingivitis, foods and drinks to avoid and cavity prevention . Rachel will also return later this month to offer a 2nd & 3rd grade dental sealant clinic. Great topics to be learning at Central!

One week from today! Make plans to have supper and dessert at TD's to help support the Central Spanish Club for their summer trip to Costa Rica!
So proud of the 5 girls who stepped on the mat at our State Qualifier last night. It took a lot of physical and mental toughness.
Huge congratulations to our two Seniors who battled their way to 3rd and 4th place finishes.
Mayleigh has been a steady and consistent force for the last 4 years. She has been driven and successful season after season. She has set the standard through her work ethic and leadership, leaving a legacy the program will feel for years to come.
Maci stepped away, and made the decision to come back for one more run her senior year. She trusted herself and the process and her resilience put her right back into the fight.
So much to be proud of.
Just as proud of Kendall, Luz and Mylee who competed and came up short of the podium. The results don’t define the effort and the experience they gained competing in tough brackets matters. This moment will fuel the work ahead. They’ll be back next year-stronger, smarter and hungry for success.
Operation: Central Codebreaker was a success. 🕵️♀️🕵️♂️
This week, our staff took on an undercover challenge with an “underground” spirit week designed just for fun. Each day brought a new secret mission, from everyone wearing red, to drinking from some very creative containers, to backwards accessories and unconventional bags. The twist? Students weren’t told what was happening and had to use their observation skills to crack the daily code.
Students submitted guesses to the office, winners were drawn, and the mystery was revealed each afternoon. It was a lighthearted way to bring some fun into the week and keep everyone guessing. Mission accomplished. ✔️

Central celebrated the 100th Day of School today! 🎉
Our elementary students marked the day in so many fun ways, from bringing in 100 of something to dressing up like 100-year-olds. Classes made crowns, counted their way through activities, and even went on the hunt to find 100 pictures of Mrs. Pope!
It was a great day full of smiles, creativity, and celebrating how far we’ve come this school year. 💯

Mr. Gearhart held a Singing Challenge this morning! Be on the lookout for a fun video to come!
Central alumni and community members Denny and Karen Maggert generously donated a Central Football stocking hat to every young Central athlete who participated in the Monday night K–3 Flag Football League last fall. They shared how impressed they were by the teamwork, effort, sportsmanship, and encouragement they saw on display, and wanted to do something special to support those students.
What a thoughtful way to encourage our youngest athletes to stay involved, keep trying new things, and enjoy being part of a team. Thank you, Denny and Karen, for your kindness and for supporting our students both on and off the field!
