Reminder to senior parents of band, cheerleaders, boys and girls' cross country, and football:

West Central will be celebrating some of our seniors who have participated in fall activities on Friday, October 17th before the boys' football game vs. Milbank. Parents, please line up with your child at 6:15 p.m. at the blue carpet on the south side of the home stands. At 6:30 p.m., parents and athletes will be announced. We will go in alphabetical order according to sport/activity. Band will start, followed by cheerleaders, boys' cross country, girls' cross country, and then football. If your child is in more than one activity, they will let me know which group they want to be announced with. All activity information will be read at that time. Again, Congratulations on your senior!

Today, our FCCLA members visited Hartford Elementary to teach Kindergarten, 1st, and 3rd grade students!

Topics included healthy eating, physical activity, and character development. These members are gaining real-world experience in education while earning scholarship money for their future college goals. Later this month, they’ll also be teaching at Humboldt Elementary and shadowing teachers to deepen their understanding and appreciation for the education career field.
