Central was represented by elementary, middle, and high school student-athletes at the Drake Relays this weekend. Thank you to Coach Bauder and all the parents who worked together as a team to make this experience possible!
Prom Update: Promenade is being moved back an hour and will now start at 6:00 pm instead of 5:00 pm. Students will be transported by bus only to Dyersville for dinner and the dance. Students will be transported back to Elkader for Post-Prom. Hypnotist will start around 2:00 am and Post-Prom will still end at 4:00 am. We encourage parents to pick up their kids at 4:00 am if travel conditions are bad.
Sorry, previous message is regarding Prom.
We are aware of and following the weather. We will make a final decision no later than 9:00 a.m tomorrow.

The Central students traveled to Kendrick Forest Products and saw how they take logs and make them into finished products. They kiln dry lumber and then manufacture cabinets for houses and office building. Kendricks are the biggest sawmill in the state of Iowa and get trees from a 100 mile radius of Edgewood. Kendricks also started coloring and bagging mulch for the landscape industry. They make 4 colors, brown, black, gold, and red, producing over a million bags per year and it only takes 3 people to run the line as bags are filled and palleted roboticaly. Kendricks also do a process where they print pictures on to wooden plaques for home decor.
The next stop on the tour was the Edgewood Locker where Central students saw how they produce their award winning meat products.
The last stop was the Pattison Sand Company where they saw frac sand being mined as well as limestone quarries. Students got to set off an explosion at the mine to loosen more material for the night shift to haul. Much of their shipping is done by rail and they informed us of there plans to improve their ability to load 100 car unit trains.
Everyone at Central would like to thank these businesses for taking the time to show students career opportunities here in Northeast Iowa.
KidWind challenge at Keystone AEA. The students participated in designing, building, and testing wind turbine blades. They were judged on their design and wind turbine knowledge.
These are the winners of the poppy poster contest! Look in the windows of the businesses downtown as Memorial Day approaches to see the great posters the 5th graders made.
