The class of 2025 is getting closer and closer to graduation! Today we celebrate Emily Romero who says her favorite teacher was Mr. Halbach and that her best memory of her time in high school was the 2024 Post Prom. She will be attending Concordia College in Moorhead for Pre-Medicine or Nursing. Underclassmen should pay attention to her advice: “Try to get the required credits, like language or vocational credits, done early to avoid a busy senior year.”
Last week Central Preschool classes celebrated Week of the Young Child! It was a fun-filled week celebrating young children and their families with hands-on, collaborative activities encouraging movement and healthy lifestyles through music, food, and art.
One of the highlights was a field trip to the Sustainable Safari in Burnsville where students got to pet, feed and learn about their rescue animals and how to help them survive.
Don’t forget that there is no school on Friday, April 18!
Students in Mr. Hallquist’s class got a visit last week from Jason Kuerschner from Edward Jones who spoke about Personal Finance!
Today’s Class of 2025 Senior Spotlight is Rebecca Sandeen! She says her favorite memories are junior year post prom and football games during her senior year. She plans to attend Winona State University in the fall, majoring in Biology on a Radiography path. Her advice to underclassmen is “just do your work, and don't be afraid to ask questions.”
