On Friday, January 30, we invite our school community to wear camo in honor of our custodian, Dave.
Dave was an avid hunter who loved sharing his passion with our students. From telling hunting stories to kids, to always being willing to teach duck call classes during our annual Central Academy.
To celebrate his life, we encourage students and staff to wear camo and, if you have them, bring along game calls as a special tribute.
We will also hold a special assembly honoring Dave during the Central School Powwow on January 30 at 10:30 a.m.
