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.
