Central Elementary StuCo!

Our 4th and 5th grade student council members have been awesome to start the year. They meet monthly to take on school initiatives and find ways to promote a caring and fun school culture. All members gave speeches and were voted on by their peers to be a part of the council.


  • They've taken on a socks and underwear clothing drive and donated all items to the Franklin County Closet.
  • Last week they welcomed all veterans into the building for our Veteran's Day Program.
  • They have picked up trash around our building.
  • During homecoming week, they sold spirit beads to students.
  • Next week, they will be selling Gobble Grams to students.


They are great student leaders for our building!

Balloons Over Central

On Tuesday, November 21, we will be having our first ever BALLOONS OVER CENTRAL parade happening in the building.


The idea is to mimic the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in our hallways with student created balloons. Each student will get their own balloon to design and create a character.


Teachers will be tying in several academic areas to the Balloons Over Central activities: STEM, reading, writing, social studies, and fine arts. We think our students are really going to enjoy this new tradition!


This is a student and staff only parade. Be looking for pictures and videos on our social media accounts after the 21st.

Students of the Month

Every month we celebrate and recognize our Students of the Month. One student from each classroom is selected. Students are selected for showing their ROAR and doing their Wildcat Best for the whole month.


Students of the month get to have a donut with Mrs. Heaton and Mr. Klein, they get a golden token to use for our book vending machine, and they get a certificate.


Earning Student of the Month honors is a big accomplishment for our students!

Manners Lunch

Thursday, November 16, is our annual Manners Lunch. This is a day that we decorate the cafeteria to look and feel more like a restaurant than a lunch room. We focus on using our manners and act like we are eating in a restaurant with tablecloths and dimmed lights.


The menu for Thursday is: turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll, and a turkey shaped pretzel. It's our version of a Thanksgiving meal.
