HHS P.E. students enjoyed trying out eclipse ball this week! Principal Foster even joined in on the fun! Go Ducks! 🦆






Kindergarten students wrapped up the week by writing their tricky words in shaving cream. They were engaged and working hard, but the room was also full of joy and giggles when administration "caught them making a mess" on their desks.
We hope all of our New Central students have a great weekend and come back ready for more fun learning activities on Monday.

HJHS is looking for prize donations to help celebrate our 3rd quarter PBIS!! Our students have worked hard and we want them to have a great day! Drop off at the HJHS office please and Thank you! Go Ducks!
Big prizes, small prizes, candy, fidgets, cash donation to purchase prizes, etc.

What a FUN day of learning and laughter!
We had an amazing trip to the Kidzeum of Health and Science, where we explored the brain, tested our senses, played hands-on games, and dove into all things health and science. So proud of how engaged and curious everyone was!
We wrapped up the day with lunch at Steak ’n Shake, great food, and even better company.
Memories made, lessons learned, and lots of smiles all around! 💛
