Central Elementary

What's Up At Central

May 27, 2008

Jake and Evan, fifth grade students at Central Elementary School, traveled to Manhattan on April 19 along with their teacher, Ruth Poovey, to participate in the KSU Open House Lego Robot meet, a statewide event. The novice team competed in three events, Sumo Wrestler Bot, Maze, and Capture the Flag. Coming through the Loser's Bracket, the Central Elementary team’s robot raced to capture (knock down) a greater number of flags than its opponents more than 16 times, eventually taking the Championship. 60 robots were entered in the Capture the Flag competition.
William J. Rust, PhD and head of the Kansas Robot League, gave each boy a medal as well as a silver plaque for their school. The team, including Kevin Contreras, who was unable to make the trip to Manhattan, presented the plaque to Mrs. Jennifer Young, principal of Central Elementary. As the Kansas Robotic League hosts competitions for students through the eighth grade, the trio would like to continue competing next year, even though it means that they will be competing in the Advanced Division.

Grade card distribution was the last day of school.

A reminder to all visitors.
All doors to the building will be locked during the school day, except for the front doors located on the South side of the building. You are required to stop in the office and pick up a visitor's badge to wear while in the building. This assures the staff the proper check-in procedure has been followed. An outside doorbell has been installed near the front doors if visitors wish to enter our school and find the front doors locked. Please use the doorbell and someone will come and assist you. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
