"Sweep Under Rug" is this year's 1-Act Play. Join the cast and crew for a FREE performance on TUESDAY, FEB. 4 at 6:30 in the high school auditorium. NO ticket is needed.
Thanks to everyone who joined us at our Incubate to Innovate Parent Night yesterday! in case you missed it, we talked about Adaptive Capacity, which is the ability to adjust, cope, and creatively problem solve.
After parents discussed challenges in raising children today, i2i presented on the need for Adaptive Capacity. They also shared ways to use their ChangeMaker Mindsets in the home and provided families with a toolkit that can be used by all ages. This provides common language as these mindsets are also used in classrooms at Central.
Representatives from i2i shared, "It is fun to sing the praises of the district and promote your brand and story!"
Central Public Schools is taking applications for an open seat on the school board! Visit our website for more information. The application period closes on Tuesday, Feb. 11. https://www.isd108.org/article/1996320
Last week, kindergarten students got to experience an in school field trip from the Arboreum where they learned all about desert plants and how they survive in the desert. Looks like fun!
We love that feeling of being confident that you know the answer and have learned something new!

We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our school—a book vending machine! A huge thank you to our amazing Booster Club for their generosity in making this possible.
This innovative machine is more than just a fun way to get books; it's a tool to inspire a lifelong love of reading among our students. Each child will have the opportunity to receive tokens that can be used to "purchase" a book of their choice to keep forever!
By giving our students access to free books, we're not just encouraging reading—we're helping build literacy skills and empowering them to explore new worlds through stories.
Thank you again to the Booster Club for your donation and your unwavering dedication to our students' success.
