Save the date for a very informative session coming up on October 30! Financial Aid 101 will cover lots of great information about the financial aid process presented by Alyssa Gillette, the Director of Financial Aid at Crown College.

Last week, students at Central Secondary School got a visit from Chef Tony from Taher, who made a special meal of green chili pork for the students. There were decorations and mariachi music playing and there were even sombreros for students who received a lucky tray with a dot on the bottom. What a great time!

Let’s check out some more of the amazing artwork from last week’s artists of the week! For this drawing project, high school students explored graffiti art by designing their names in expressive lettering after learning about Minnesota artist Peyton Scott Russell, known for his influence in the graffiti and street art scene. Once their names were outlined, students filled in the background with visuals representing the elements of art—line, shape, color, texture, space, and form to enhance their compositions! Congratulations to: Aubrey Simek Kellen ZumHofe Ben Molnau Megan Storms

It’s time for our final Raider Hall of Fame inductee! Don’t miss the Raider Rally on Saturday, Oct. 5 where we will officially induct all of these members of the Central Public Schools community! Ed Braun was a long time teacher and coach at Central High School, starting in the early 1950’s where he taught social studies, history, and drivers education. He coached Central High School Football and led the team to the conference championship in 1955 and 1956. He also coached Central High School and American Legion baseball for more than 30 years, coaching 14 championship teams with five state entries. He also served as the school’s athletic director for 12 years and taught three generations of students to drive. He retired at the end of 1984 as a full time teacher but kept returning as a substitute teacher. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and when he returned earned his masters degree at Hamline University. Ed’s legacy lives on through the many athletes and students that he taught such important lessons to throughout his time at Central.
