Havana CUSD #126 wants to thank our teachers, Ms. McCorkle and Mr. Lee for their service!

🇺🇸 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Veterans 🇺🇸
We want to extend our gratitude to the veterans who joined us at New Central today. Thank you for braving the cold weather to be honored at our Veterans Day assembly.
Our students and staff truly appreciate you taking the time to be with us. It was a privilege to share the poems, songs, and artwork our students prepared in your honor.
Thank you for your service and for inspiring our students with your courage and dedication to our country! 🇺🇸❤️







A BIG thank you to County Market for donating water for our students and to Aramark and our cafeteria staff for providing some nice food options also on Friday for our PBIS 1st Quarter incentive day. Go Ducks!!
What a Friday at New Central! 🎉
Even with a half day, our building was packed with fun and celebration! Every classroom enjoyed a PBIS Cart Party, another awesome group of 4th graders helped deliver Backpack Program sacks, and we wrapped up the morning with a school-wide assembly recognizing our October Students of the Month for showing self-control. 💪
Tomorrow brings even more excitement as we welcome special guests for our Veterans Day Assembly. 🇺🇸 Students will share their artwork, poems, and songs as they honor and learn from the incredible veterans in our community. We can’t wait! ❤️💙




The first quarter HJHS PBIS incentive day was a success! Students ate snacks, played board games, took part in some of their favorite P.E. activities, and became phosphorescent with the help of Miss Hughes and Miss Prater at the glow party ! (Thank you to everyone who shared blacklights with us.)
Next quarter's incentive day is attending a Peoria Rivermen hockey game.
Students, keep working hard, and keep modeling our PBIS words of the month. We are proud of you!
In conjunction with Thanksgiving, this month's PBIS word is Gratitude.

A huge THANK YOU to our local paramedics!
Over the past two days, they have generously devoted their time to assisting our High School PE students in earning their CPR certification! Students learned valuable lifesaving skills including basic First Aid, CPR, and how to properly use AEDs.
We are incredibly grateful for their time, expertise, and commitment to helping our students gain these important skills!
