Also, congratulations to the nine NAHS members receiving cords for graduation! And, there will be a K-12 art show from mid-May to July at the First Central Art Gallery in the lobby of the DeWitt Operahouse Theater.
Several members from the AEA came to CDHS on Tuesday to share their information about their careers with students. The more than 20 Central DeWitt and Calamus-Wheatland students that attended are mostly interested in pursuing careers in healthcare and/or education. The AEA employees shared how some of their careers tie both fields together and that there are several ways for those interested in education to work with children outside of the traditional classroom setting. Thank you to those who took time to meet with students!

Central DeWitt hosted Special Olympics Young Athletes Play Day on Thursday, May 4. Unified members from 5th and 6th grade partnered with students from Ekstrand Elementary to assist them with different activities developed to help the students learn skills needed for when they are old enough to participate in Special Olympics sports. Both the Unified members and the young athletes enjoyed being together for the event and having lunch from Subway.

The CDIS music room was filled with all kinds of silly sounds this week as fourth grade students tried out a variety of musical instruments. Next year these students will have an opportunity to join 5th grade band and this gives them a chance to discover which instruments they enjoy playing.
