We had the pleasure of attending a very long FFA Banquest at Centre this evening. The reason it was so long is because our Centre FFA is so stinking good at what they do! The list of accomplishments these students achieved this year is nothing short of amazing. Congratulations to all of our members and our sponsors Jon Meier and Emma Jacobson on leading our students on such an outstanding year of accomplishments. Cougar proud of you all!!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and here at Centre, we have some of the best in the business. I've never been around a more caring and giving group of educators who truly have the best interests of our students at the forefront. Thank you Centre teachers for all you do for our students, You are appreciated!
Here are the events for this week
Good Morning again. We've had several inquiries about this afternoon's predicted weather event and if Centre is considering letting out early to get our students and staff home safely before the storm moves in. We are monitoring the weather very closely and I will let you know if there are any changes to our release time. I was just in contact with the National Weather Service in Wichita and their best estimate is the storm shouldn't reach us until after 5:00 PM. There will be NO practices or activities after school. I will send an update in the event the timeline changes. Thank you
We want to congratulate one of our Centre FFA members and their many successes this spring within his SAE. Santiago Knepp has his own cattle that he has been raising and has recently achieved some major honors and awards from taking his heifer to many different shows this spring. His heifer he has been raising recently was named the Supreme breeding heifer at the 3 different shows, was named Reserved Supreme at another show, and was named 3rd overall at another show. Santiago works with his brother in his SAE and puts many hours into his project! We want to congratulate him on his many accomplishments!
Good morning,
Because of the chance of severe weather forecast for our area tonight, the Centre Junior Senior High School music concert scheduled for tonight has been moved to next Thursday, May 16th at 7:00 PM. Please stay safe. Thank you and have a great day.
Shout out to Centre Senior Jenaya Plett who has earned a spot on the Emporia State University Cheer Squad. Jenay tried out earlier in the week and was informed she made the squad. Jenaya is coached by Katelyn Hageman, Centre Cheer Coach. Congratulations Jenaya. Proud of your accomplishment,'
Centre Grades 3-5 Art Show this evening was well attended. Students displayed their amazing art talents. The students are under the direction of Pat Wicks and Jessica Gilbert. Terrific show tonight 3-5 students!
Tonight is the annual Artful Eye Show featuring a year's worth of art projects created by students in Grades 3-5. Students should dress in clothes suitable to a performance event. They should arrive by 6:30pm. Viewing of the art show is from 6:30-7:00pm; a silent auction will also be held during this time where the 4th grade will auction a Medieval castle, complete with furnishings, that was collectively created by the class. Proceeds from the auction will be used by this class for special art projects when they return next fall for 5th grade. At 7pm a brief program celebrates each student's artistic talent, and awards are announced for each grade, along with Artist of the Year. A reception follows the program. It's a creative and fun event where all are welcome.

Please help me in thanking Mr. Vinduska for his quick response today when a student at Centre was choking on food during lunch. Mr. Vinduska immediately began the Heimlich Maneuver on the student and applied it several times until the food was dislodged and the student was able to breath on their own again. The student was taken to the hospital to be checked out and was released to go home. Great job Mr. Vinduska very proud of you.
