Our 4th graders traded the classroom for the great outdoors today, exploring the beautiful intersection of the Mississippi River National Park and Fort Snelling State Park. We couldn’t have asked for a better "living laboratory" to bring our science and history lessons to life!
Watch for future posts for a closer look at how students spent their day!

Students in Ms. Turner’s class recently explored the wonders of space through a class read-aloud and then put their learning into action by writing letters to astronauts. We’re excited to share that one of our students received a response, along with a signed photo from his favorite NASA astronaut, Raja Chari!

Central Public Schools students enjoyed some special treats last week as Taher Chef Mike Demos visited! Elementary students enjoyed smoothie samples at lunch time. Chef Demos prepared made-to-order omelets for our secondary students for breakfast.
Also, he made Sticky Sesame Pork Loin, which was inspired from the Taher Chef Council's recent trip to China. It has a sweet and savory marinade with just a hint of heat, served with seasoned rice or noodles and roasted vegetables. The lunch room was even decorated to celebrate the Chinese New Year coming up soon!

Our very own Raiden Slathar, Payton Schneider, and Luke Allison were recently recognized by the NYA Fire Department for the calm, responsible, and caring way they responded to an emergency situation. Their maturity and compassion during a stressful moment truly embody Raider Pride. As their well-deserved award states, “Your initiative reflects the highest spirit of civic duty. We honor your courage, your character, and your commitment to the safety of our community.”
We are incredibly proud of you all!
