STATE BOUND! Kasyn Jibben ran a school record time of 18:16.9 and finished 9th this morning at the Elmwood sectional. Her season will continue next week at the state meet in Peoria. While the season came to an end for the rest of the Ducks, they should all be extremely proud of the work they put in this year. Go Ducks!

We wrapped up our flag football season this morning and couldn’t be happier with how it went! A huge thank you to all the kids who participated, our high school players who helped coach, and the Havana Youth League for making it all possible — and for their generous donation back to the Havana Football Program. We’re so glad to have flag football back in Havana and can’t wait to see it grow even more next season. Go Ducks! 🦆

Today marked the fifth and final day of Red Ribbon Week at New Central! Students and staff showed up in all things Halloween with the motto “Say Boo to Drugs.” Students also learned about Kiki Camarena, the man whom Red Ribbon Week honors; a dedicated agent who worked tirelessly to remove drugs from his community and inspire others to live drug free. A big thank you to Chestnut Health Systems for providing our red ribbons, sidewalk chalk, and the educational announcements that guided our learning all week long. ❤️

Life Skills students had a spooky week! Monster donuts, Halloween bingo and creepy cupcakes, Oh My!
