March 21, 22, and 23 at 7:30pm In the Kenowa Hills Performing Arts Center
Based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the parking lot attendant, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, the trucker, the fireman, the housewife, just to name a few. It’s a highly original look at the American landscape that’s simply impossible to forget.

The students and staff learned about a new program that will be implemented at Central Elementary called Fuel Up to Play 60. It is a program that encourages students to eat healthy and get active. The students and staff learned about the program by watching and doing various activities throughout the assembly. The Student Council performed a skit about getting active. “Get Fit, Don’t Sit”, was the model used.
Third grade students raised money for Make A Wish Foundation. The challenge made to Central was if we could raise over $500, Mr. Carlson and Mrs. Ruscett would dress as each other. Our building raised $504.00.
