Six Central DeWitt High School students recently participated in the Iowa Youth Symposium — part of the Model United Nations program.
Held each fall at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, the symposium helps prepare students for the spring Model UN Conference at UNI. During the event, students act as U.S. delegates, researching and writing position papers and formal resolutions on economic, social, political, technological, and scientific issues faced by the United Nations.
Representing Central DeWitt this year were:
Aliza Dimmick, Alythea Gunn, Ella Taylor, Eva Burke, Audrey Lewis, and Athena Sentore.
During the symposium, these students brought our Portrait of a Saber traits to life. They used critical thinking to analyze complex global issues and craft thoughtful, well-supported positions. Through communication, they shared their ideas clearly in discussions and worked collaboratively to draft formal resolutions. And with global awareness, they considered the broader impact of decisions, taking time to understand diverse perspectives on international challenges.
Way to go, Sabers! We're proud of you!💜💛

Are you interested in renting Central DeWitt facilities during December, January, or February? Our next round of rental reservations will open Monday, Nov. 3rd, and continue through Friday, Nov. 14th. ‼️ THIS IS THE ONLY TWO WEEKS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER RENTALS FOR DECEMBER, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.
Please keep these important details in mind:
* Renters are allowed 90 minutes per team per week.
* Time reserved = time billed: groups are billed for the time they reserved, not the time they actually use (unless the district cancels the reservation)
* The facilities will NOT be available on 12/24, 12/25, 12/31 or 1/1
* School-related activities have first priority. If a school event has to be rescheduled and we have to bump you out of your reservation, you will be allowed to look for an alternative day/time.
* If school is closed or dismissed early due to weather, all rentals for that day will be automatically cancelled and no charges will be assessed
* The District reserves the right to cancel weekend rentals if weather or building conditions are unsafe.
* Groups are permitted to use the specific area reserved in their rental agreement, if groups are found wandering or using unreserved areas, future rental privileges may be revoked
* Once reservations are approved, a contract will be sent and it must be "signed" and then payment must be made. The contract will contain additional information about the rental rules and regulations.
* Renters will have a key card they can use to access the facility for 15 minutes before and after their rental period. At no time should a door be propped open or should you ask a custodian to unlock a door for you during your rental period.
* Any rentals put in early (before November 3rd) or late (after November 14th) will automatically be denied.
* Any rentals put in for dates that are outside of December, January or February will automatically be denied.

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🕸️ Something spooky was brewing at CDMS Wednesday night —our Student Leadership team transformed the school into a Haunted Hallway adventure! 👻 Two classrooms and the cafeteria were transformed into eerie escape rooms filled with hidden clues and creepy surprises. Students had to find specific items in each room to break free—before it was too late! 😱💀
It was a spine-tingling, scream-worthy scavenger hunt that made for a frightfully fun night for middle school students! 🕷️🦇
A huge thank you to our Student Leadership team and staff who helped make this hauntingly good event come to life! 💜💛

💜💛 Congratulations to our October 2025 District Student of the Month Addison Tucker! She is featured in today's edition of The Observer thanks to our friends at First Central State Bank.
Addison is a hardworking, kind, and engaged student whose attention to detail and genuine care for others make her stand out. She approaches each day with a positive attitude and a strong sense of purpose, always striving to do her best in everything she takes on. Addison goes above and beyond—reaching out to teachers when she’s absent, offering to help staff or classmates when she finishes her work, and stepping up whenever she sees a need.
“What I appreciate most about Addison is that she doesn't have to be asked and she doesn't always ask—she just sees or hears that something needs to be done or a peer could use help, and she just does it,” said FCS teacher Rebecca Barnes.
That initiative and compassion shine through in everything Addison does. She has always cared deeply about others and wants to make sure that everyone feels included, supported, and confident in what they’re doing. Inspired by her parents and by the kindness she observes in others, Addison strives to bring that same spirit of service to everything she does. Her involvement in FCCLA and her plans to play softball this spring reflect her dedication, teamwork, and positive energy.
Looking ahead, Addison hopes to pursue a career as a pediatric radiologic technologist or pediatric oncology nurse and plans to enter the CNA program next year. Her advice to other students is simple but powerful: “Find the right group of people and just follow what you believe. Don’t always copy other people—be yourself.”
Addison’s initiative, empathy, critical thinking and leadership make her an invaluable member of our school community and a shining example of what it means to be a SABER.

🐢🦁🐘It was a zoo at Ekstrand Elementary last Wednesday! Third graders brought the wild right into the classroom when they shared their Animal Classification Research Projects with our first graders.
This fun project began with a field trip to Niabi Zoo, where each student “adopted” an animal that sparked their curiosity. They researched facts before the trip, dug even deeper after visiting, and then turned their discoveries into Google Slides presentations to share with their younger peers.
This was more than just a fun project—it was a true showcase of our Portrait of a Saber competencies in action! Students explored habitats and ecosystems around the globe (global awareness), practiced speaking clearly and confidently (communication), took charge of their learning (initiative), and used smart decision-making to highlight the most important facts (critical thinking).
What a great experience for our 3rd Graders to step into the role of a teacher, share their passion, and inspire their younger peers. Now that’s Saber Pride! Great job, Sabers! 💜💛
