To everyone in the Central Public Schools community, Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful to be able to be a part of your child’s educational journey.
The Raider Field House will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week for Thanksgiving! You will be able to get in your post turkey exercise again on Saturday.
You may not need a reminder about this, but just in case, there will be no school Nov. 27-29 for our Thanksgiving Break. Have a great time with family and friends!
Auditions for Central's One Act play "Sweep Under Rug" will be on Tuesday, Dec. 3 from 3:45 - 5:45 in the Auditorium. Students in grades 7 - 12 are welcome to join us for the group audition. Actors and crew members are needed! Go to Google Classroom code: tp37hxm for acting scenes.
"Sweep Under Rug" envisions a future where struggling families are placed in the "Bobby Sue" program. A "Bobby Sue" is a guardian of sorts, someone who warns against missteps and guides its owners along the "appropriate" path in life.
But what happens when people want to think for themselves????
Mr. Schrupp and Mr. Evenski in fourth grade have been collaborating with the elementary STEAM teacher, Mrs. Kreuser, on an exciting unit about inventions! Students have been learning the fascinating stories of famous inventors in STEAM and tackled a hands-on challenge in their Mental Yoga sessions: designing and building a car powered solely by a balloon.
Students learned about the mechanics of wheels and axles, constructed sturdy car bodies, and experimented with innovative ways to attach their "engine" (the balloon) to maximize its potential energy. It’s been an engaging and creative project that encourages problem-solving, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of engineering concepts.
Winter hours for the Raider Field House will begin on Monday, Dec. 2!
Additional modifications to the schedule will be posted when necessary.
Winter Hours:
-Monday-Friday 5:30 - 7:30 a.m. and 6-9 p.m.
-Saturday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.
-Sunday 12 - 5 p.m.

The preschool students are learning about measurement this week and had a special guest reader yesterday, Mr.Schrupp! Mr. Schrupp read the students a book about a giant teddy bear and then measured how tall Mr. Schrupp is compared to some of our preschool friends. Some might say Mr. Schrupp is a giant compared to some of the students! The height differences are displayed in the Preschool wing hallway at the Elementary School.
We love seeing students in kindergarten focused on learning and excited about school!
