Our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive is here! Middle and high school are coming together to support families in our community, and each teacher has been assigned a specific food item to collect.
How to Participate:
Check outside your teachers’ doors to see what item they’re collecting.
Bring enough of that item, and your class will earn a FREE DAY!
Donations are accepted through Friday, November 22!
Our elementary students are joining in by “Feeding the Turkey!” They’ll collect spare change to help support our community, so don’t forget to feed the turkey in your classroom!
Let's make this a memorable season of giving. Go Vikings! 💙
🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Hinrichs, our Certified Staff Member of the Month! 🎉 Mrs. Hinrichs is the creative eye behind the camera, capturing unforgettable moments and ensuring our students are equipped to document every event. She works tirelessly to keep digital media up to date, handling CH4 broadcasts, social media posts, Weekly Events updates, and taking incredible photos (to name a few) that showcase our school spirit! Her classroom is a welcoming space where both high school and middle school students feel connected and supported. We’re so lucky to have her dedication and passion! 📸💻
We’re also thrilled to celebrate Vincent Lickteig as our Classified Staff Member of the Month! 🎉 Vince has jumped into his role with energy and commitment, expertly organizing routes, problem solving 8 million things (only a SLIGHT exaggeration), meeting student needs, and even finding time to coach! His dedication to helping our students and drivers succeed, on and off the court/route, is truly appreciated. 🚌
Thank you, Mrs. Hinrichs and Mr. Lickteig, for all that you do to make Central Heights a better place every day! And special thanks to Keith King from State Farm for sponsoring this month's winners! 👏💙 #StaffSpotlight #ThankYou #SchoolCommunity

🌎💙 Happy World Kindness Day! Today, Mrs. Horstick's Leadership class celebrated by spending time with their adorable Pre-K buddies in front of the beautiful new sign that our talented middle school students designed and created! This sign stands as a reminder of the power of kindness and the "hand" that everyone plays in it!
Let’s carry the spirit of today forward, practicing kindness every day, whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a kind word. Small acts of kindness make a big difference! #WorldKindnessDay #BeKindEveryday #LeadershipInAction

Today, our school had the privilege of honoring our veterans with a special program led by students K-12. From heartfelt essays to beautiful musical performances, our students made it a memorable day. We began the morning with a breakfast for our guests, followed by a program featuring a keynote address from Sgt. Aaron Winkleman, US Army Reserves (Ret.). We're grateful for the chance to express our thanks and appreciation to those who have served.

Alright, Middle School Fam! Here we go again! Our 2nd Lunch on the Lawn event is coming! On November 15th, we would LOVE to invite you to have lunch with your student(s)! This time, we are changing up how we are doing payments (to make life easier on us all!). There will be 2 options:
1. Pay ahead of time: send in $4.45 with your student, they bring it to the office, and Mrs. Matile fills out a ticket to hand you when you arrive at the school on November 15th.
2. You pay Mrs. Matile as soon as you check in at the high school office (she will be set up right as you come in) and after you pay, you will receive a lunch ticket.
You can then go through the line and give your ticket as payment. Please fill out the form to let us know you're coming! We can't wait to see you!
