Sharing the excitement from yesterday's CCS assembly at Central! It was so much fun learning and cheering together. The second graders did an amazing job teaching us all about growth mindset!

Thank you to our fine arts boosters for the amazing new choir stoles. They look so professional!!
Central's 6th grade has been investigating Central America, South America, and Caribbean countries. Learning about governments, religions, conflicts, historical events, fun facts, plus other information about the country they drew from a hat. After investigating they completed informational documents and created a country flag. The Projects are hanging in the hall.
Central's 6th grade started their unit on It's Your Job-Soft Skills from Junior Achievement. Our Guest Speaker for the Unit is Peggy Schilling.

MATCH DAY!
Good morning Central Warriors! There are a lot of events happening this week!
BIG News: Four of our talented Central singers have been accepted into the prestigious Meistersinger Honor Choir Festival at Wartburg this year! This event is highly selective and requires an extensive application process, so this is a huge accomplishment for Ella Buckman, Raelynn Coanner, Layla Embretson, and Brooke Tieden.
While we’d love for everyone to join us in person for this incredible event, seating is extremely limited. However, you can still be part of the experience by tuning in to the live stream of the performance. The concert will begin at 5:00 PM on Monday, and you can watch it here: www.wartburgknightvision.com
Tonight Central hosted the Inaugural Upper Iowa Conference Girls Wrestling Tournament! Thank you to Central’s Maintenance Director, Mr. Eric Bond, on helping make this a special experience by getting our spotlight installed and adjusted to fit the mat.
