Today the FFA Officers did an awesome event at DeWitt Randy’s Neighborhood Market! They hosted all the 2nd-grade students and teachers from Ekstrand and took them on a tour of the store. They visited the produce, meat, dairy, frozen food sections. They also visited the bakery where they each got a cookie after learning about how farmers grow the ingredients to make them! We want to thank Randy's Neighborhood Market for hosting the event! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #ekstrandelementary #ffa #wherefoodcomesfrom #farming #learningisfun

Sixth grader, Christopher Shenker (LEFT), and 4th grader, Erik Nicholas (RIGHT), were key contributors to the work of The Purple Bean this morning at CDIS! What’s The Purple Bean you ask? Operated by Mrs. Jackson and her students, the “coffee and more” store delivers snacks, drinks, and an unlimited amount of smiles across CDIS and CDMS throughout our school week! Not only is The Purple Bean essential to teaching valuable customer service skills, and marketing strategies to students, but it’s also widely appreciated among our employees! It’s outstanding to see the growth of The Purple Bean and its valuable impact on students! Incredible work, Sabers! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdms #thepurplebean #saberssucceeding #learningvaluableskills #learningisfun

Fourth and 5th graders had a great time creating music with Boomwhackers during music class last week. Boomwhackers are tuned percussion tubes made of material which produce a specific note and pitch when they hit a surface. The length of the tube affects the pitch, so the shorter the tube, the higher the pitch. What a fun way to play music! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdismusicclass #learningisfun #boomwhackers

‼️ Due to current Track construction work, there will be no access to the HS football field this week. The Central DeWitt MS Football games on Tuesday, September 5th, and Thursday, September 7th, of this week, will be played on the HS Football Practice Field located on the far South side of our campus. Parents and spectators will sit on the East side of the field facing west. Bleachers will be available, but spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs/umbrellas. We encourage you to park on the South side of the HS parking lot and or near the CDCSD Administration Center to reduce the distance of your walk to the playing field. No admission will be charged for either middle school game this week. Concessions and restrooms will be open and available.

On Monday this week, we kickstarted our 5th-grade band program with our annual SUPER lesson at CDIS! Incoming band students received their instruments and participated in a one-hour band lesson with our guest lesson teachers. Thank you so much to our awesome band families and students who came to support this event and were ready to learn! Thank you to the middle school students who helped get set up and organized! We are so lucky to have awesome music teachers in the area who are always excited to come and help get the kids started on the right note - thanks to all of you as well! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #superlesson #cdissuperlesson #5thgradeband #saberssucceeding #cdisband
