New Central students and staff lined the halls to cheer on our athletes going to state tomorrow. Sidney VanEtten, Noah Kaler, Whitney Sams and Duane Cox participated in a special send-off, giving high fives and showing their Duck pride. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to hear how you do. Go Ducks! 🦆

🏃♂️🏃♀️HS Track & Field 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ is having a different type of fundraiser this year. On April 11th we are doing an alumni/parents' meet. As long as you're an adult in the community you can join in on the fun.
There are three divisions. Youth (Graduate-24), Open (25-39), and Masters (40+). You don't need to be fast or in shape, you would just need to support the program.
$5 an entry, $20 a relay. How fun would it be to have a family run a relay together? We put some medley races in there so people can run different distances. Shot put, 100m, SDM 2 are among the popular early entries!
Email Coach Jackson at ljackson@havana126.net for details.
Go Ducks!!

🩸 Feeling Brave This Friday the 13th? We’ve Got a Appointment for You...
This Friday the 13th, we’ve brought in a very motivated specialist to assist with our American Red Cross Blood Drive in the HHS Gym. He's trading in his usual tools for a sterile needle and a lab coat, and we think he'll make a compelling argument for donation!
Make your mark and prove that local "leaders" aren't afraid of a little pinch.
Don't let superstition keep you away; blood is urgently needed. Don't wait, secure your spot now, and help us prove that good deeds defy bad luck! We promise the cookies in the canteen are absolutely killer.
We'll see you there (he's watching to make sure you sign up!).

A big thank you to Ace Hardware of Havana for their generous donation to the New Central STEAM Lab! 🦆
Our students wasted no time putting the washers to work. For their first experiment, they designed and built foil boats, then tested how many washers their boats could hold before sinking. The excitement, problem solving, and teamwork were so fun to watch!
We are so grateful for community partners like Ace Hardware and we can’t wait to see what future experiments and learning adventures these materials inspire!
