Central CSD

Last week, 5th graders ventured to the Preschool building to make pumpkins! They helped the preschoolers use fine motor skills and built relationships with great conversations! Everyone looks forward to their time together.

Wondering what is happening at Central this week? Take a look! Don't forget we have a special Veterans Day Program to celebrate and honor all of those who have served and continue to serve. Thank you Veterans and Active Military Members!

Reminder that the first day of K-6th grade boys' basketball camp is tomorrow morning! Free for all with no registration. We hope to see you there and don't hesitate to reach out to Coach Stramer if you have any questions.

The pictured artwork was accepted into the NEIAHS Art Show, hosted by ArtHaus in Decorah. Last Friday evening, some of the students attended the open house gallery reception with Mrs. Lechtenberg. Artwork will be on display for public viewing, during ArtHaus business hours, throughout the month of November. Congratulations to all of our talented artists!
