Central DeWitt School District -

Recently, local realtor Shelly Borota came to visit with senior Nevaeh Scheeper who has an interest in becoming a realtor. Mrs. Borota volunteered her time to answer Nevaeh’s questions and share first-hand knowledge of what it’s like to be a realtor. We are lucky to have community members so willing to come work with our students! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdhs #careerandcollegeready #weloveourcommunity #planningforthefuture #ssasberssucceeding

Our Special Olympic Robotic Team is working on a group project that combines technology and the arts to help engage others or increase participation in something they love to do. The team decided to create a logo and a newscast to encourage more students become Unified Buddies! This past week students worked with CDCSD marketing coordinator Laura Miers to create a logo for Unified Buddies and with Producer Creighton Fox and Multimedia Journalist Larry Goodwin from KWQC TV 6 to learn about reporting and putting together a news story. Take a look at the new logo and photos from the TV 6 visit. We can’t wait to see how the rest of the project turns out! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdms #PeerSTEM #SpecialOlympicRoboticTeam #saberssucceeding #unifiedbuddies #saberpride #choosetoinclude
