This week was National School Lunch Week and the food service team at Central Public Schools celebrated he theme of School Lunch Pirates, Find Your Treasure.
National School Lunch Week began in 1962 under President John F. Kennedy to highlight the importance of providing nutritious school lunches. The National School Lunch Program serves nearly 30 million children daily, ensuring that every young sailor gets the vital nutrients needed to thrive in and out of the classroom.
There were decorations, pirates serving lunch, and activities like coloring sheets for the elementary students and lucky trays at the HS, where students could win an ala carte item. A fun time was had by all!

We love highlighting the artist of the week!
Check out work from artists of the week from Photography & Digital Design class at Central High School. Students explored the intersection of digital media and pop art by transforming their photographs into works reminiscent of Andy Warhol's iconic style. Using Photoshop, they edited their images with vibrant, contrasting colors, and a repetitive pattern to mimic Warhol’s famous silkscreen technique.
Congratulations to the following students!
Maddie Chvala
Addison Dietzel
Cassie Johnson
