🏆 PK State Champion
Gideon Ayers, a 6th grade wrestler at Prairie Knolls, went 4-0 at the NIU Convocation Center to win the IESA Class AA 85 lbs state title. He joins Joe DiCristofano as the only IESA wrestling state champions in Central 301 history.

Central High School’s 9 to 5: The Musical hits the stage this weekend! Showtimes are Thursday & Friday at 7 PM, Saturday at 2 PM & 7 PM, and Sunday at 2 PM. Tickets are $11.

🚌 Bus Buddy Challenge
Our Central 301 Transportation Department has started a new bus program to encourage positive behaviors for all four elementary school buildings in the district. Learn more about how it works here.

đź“Š Bigger than Geneva?
This week, Geneva officials noted their enrollment has dropped to 5,110 students. With Central 301 currently at 5,151, we now have a higher enrollment than Geneva, Batavia and Kaneland school districts. Just go to our website, scroll down, and you can see our district “by the numbers.”

🎭 First Grade Field Trip
First graders at HBT took a trip to the College of DuPage McAninch Arts Center on March 10 to watch a live performance, bringing classroom learning to life in a fun and engaging way.

Thanks for staying connected to all the great things happening in Central 301. Have a fantastic weekend!
