FRIDAY FOCUS
Here’s a look at the happenings across Central 301 this week:
Your Voice Matters
Central 301 Families – take our Communication Feedback Survey for us to better understand how families receive information across Central 301. It will only take a few minutes and help guide how we improve moving forward.
FVC Art Show Recognition
Central High School students earned multiple honors at this year’s Fox Valley Conference Art Show, showcasing their creativity across a variety of mediums. Congratulations to all of our student artists on their outstanding work.
Earth Day Excitement
Second grade students at Country Trails took part in a hands-on learning experience this week, planting flowers as part of their plants and seed dispersal unit. A great way to bring science to life while celebrating Earth Day.
Kindness in Action
Central High School’s Service Club partnered with the HBT Twister Club for an afternoon of painting kindness rocks. The finished rocks will be placed around our schools and community to spread positive messages and brighten someone’s day.
A Preview of What’s to Come!
Prairie Knolls Middle School Band and Choir recently performed for 4th and 5th grade students, giving them a preview of what’s ahead. Music from The Lego Movie, The Lorax, and Beauty and the Beast helped build excitement for band and choir at the next level.
Ice Cream, Trucks & Books
HBT brought the community together for an Ice Cream Social and Touch A Truck event, along with a Book Fair hosted by the school library. With great weather and plenty to explore, it was a night full of smiles.
