😷It’s Been a Week at New Central… but Our Students Brought the Bright Spots!
There have definitely been a lot of sniffles and sore throats going around, but even so, our students continued to bring energy, kindness, and teamwork to our building. From helping deliver weekend backpack sacks to enjoying a fun “secretary for a lunchtime” experience in the office, they added some much-needed positivity to our week. We’re grateful for their great attitudes and the way they support our school community. 🦆 #GoDucks

Kinders built replicas of three different weather systems.
Second graders created models of two body systems.
(And yes, some are in pajamas… it was Mrs. Sams' Pajama Day😄)
Fourth graders modeled rain eroding soil and collecting in trenches, showing how water shapes our world.
