SAVE THE DATE: The Month of October brings many special causes, one being Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan stated “When a child loses their parent, they are called an orphan, when a spouse loses their loved one, they are called a widow or widower, when a parent loses their child, there are no words to describe them.” Every year thousands of parents are left unaware of how to grieve the loss of their babies.
FCCLA, along with Camila's Causes, want to spread awareness by making and selling candles. Money raised will be donated toward No Foot Too Small and the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. FCCLA will be selling candles at three different events listed on the flyer. If anyone is interested in purchasing a candle but cannot make it to the events we are selling at please email Ms. Sage at alisa.sage@cd-csd.org.
On October 15th from 5:30 to 7:30, FCCLA would like to invite people in the community to join us for the Wave of Light. We will have some family-friendly activities before the candle lighting at sunset. Event will take place on the CDHS football field.

Today, our incredible CDIS Kindness Crew, along with a few Central DeWitt High School volunteers, came together to create an extra special start to the day for our students. As our students arrived at school, they were greeted with warm smiles, high-fives, and words of encouragement from these group members. It's all part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and welcoming atmosphere for every student.
Thanks for such a great start to our Friday!
Go Sabers! 💜💛
Congratulations to Central DeWitt Intermediate School and Central DeWitt Middle School for being named as 2023 National Unified Champion Schools! Only three schools in Iowa were chosen and we had two of them! That’s incredible! Special Olympics Iowa will come at a later date to present the banner and hold an assembly to celebrate!
National Unified Champion Schools are chosen based on having “an inclusive school climate and exudes a sense of collaboration, engagement and respect for all members of the student body and staff.” They also have to meet 10 national standards of excellence.
In 2021 Central DeWitt High School was also named a National Unified Champion School. We are beyond proud to have schools that continually support, celebrate, and include everyone!
