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.

Sometimes what looks like “good luck” is really the result of a lot of small choices made over time. 🍀
Trying again when something is hard. Listening and learning. Practicing, preparing, and showing up each day ready to do your best. Those are the things that build success.
A good reminder for all of us that growth doesn’t happen by chance. It happens through effort, persistence, and a willingness to keep going. 💚 Go Warriors!
